    @chrisbardell @davidschneider If you use a subscription service ie Sky/Virgin then the licence fee should be optional until you want BBC added to your plan (then you pay the fee). If you watch freeview then you pay the licence fee as it’s funding the service you use. Just give people the choice.

    @FhilipGreen @notwillyoung86 @krishgm So there isn't 4k output via terrestrial television in the UK. Raise that with Freeview. Which is a private company, by the way. I'm looking forward to you moaning about ITV having the same problem? Sky output in 4k is minimal also.

    @iandeeley @peterson_joey @reckless Freeview is awful yes, as is DAB.

    @SLUG_MrIBlack and as public money went into it, the code was shared with ITV, Ch4, Ch5. It innovates with loads of tech which it shares. It has public services like language transmissions and there was a section to help people switch to Freeview. What the plan about removing its funding?

  • coldgooseberry Aℓexªnder (@coldgooseberry) reported

    not. The services aren't even comparable. The BBC provides content across terrestrial TV, radio, the internet, iPlayer, and BBC Studios create programmes for other media companies too. In addition to that they maintain the Freeview network, which is almost certainly... [cont]

    @JuliaHB1 You fail to mention the BBC also contribute to both Broadband and Freeview. I suppose you never use them either ? All for 43p a day 👍

    @COYR26 @DeborahMeaden because without the BBC you wouldn't be able to watch the other free to air channels. The BBC run the whole Freeview service they depend on.

  • brundellfilimou Mike Benjamin (@brundellfilimou) reported

    @Garnhiem_ @talkRADIO The issue that most people have is with the news programmes. There are no subscription only news TV stations in the Uk. Even sky news is free on freeview. It is also not an option for radio stations.

    @MikeAubury @markdavyd @NadineDorries No they slipped that in so the poor pensioners would have to pay. Now they are telling pensioners you don't have to pay, just watch a blank screen as its scrambled on free providers which include commercial free to air providers. A sick move. Sell off Freeview band width.

    @PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries In Teesside August 10th 2021 we lost our only Freeview transmitter to a fire. 1 million homes lost its Freeview. Only last week have people got a patchy service back, just BBC some areas have still no signal. 4 months no FreeviewTv. Tell me BBC r doing a good job maintaining mast
