    @Sillyshib Heartbeat, ssshhh, it's never been off. You can watch Heartbeat every day on freeview

  • mooseandme1 Moose And Me (@mooseandme1) reported from Great Harwood, England

    @Ossyref I know but it’s not on Freeview. Not everyone has YouTube for TV or ability to watch on app. We ok as have Virgin but it’s still crap they ain’t showing it for others.

  • garethrichmond5 Gareth Richmond (@garethrichmond5) reported from Bury, England

    If anyone needs a football fix Copenhagen are playing some other Danish club behind closed doors on Freeview 64...... is this what it’s come to😂

  • josephjonesct3 josephjonesct3@icloud.com (@josephjonesct3) reported

    @zsk That’s why we watch Freeview. The problem is, many will have to work for a living, rather than being a parasite on the public purse and demanding the stealth tax by menaces

  • iainsykes2014 Iain Sykes (@iainsykes2014) reported from Blackburn, England

    @KarmaUnc @GMB @joshwiddicombe Yes, but the BBC is a significant contributor to Arquiva who own the masts. They also support Freeview and Freesat.

    Many pensioners in this country rely on Freeview and don't have sky, Netflix etc, the irony is for them to get the services they enjoy now will cost 20+ per month in private subscriptions. Good news for Murdoch bad news for the pensioners. #BBCLicenceFee

    @ClaireJHartnell @Porrohman @jamiebglover Bad analogy. You can watch ITV, Channel 4, and the rest of the Freeview channels for free (clue is in the name), just like the motorways are free except for the Toll roads (AKA Sky and Netflix), which you can pay for as and when you want to use. I don't recognise any BBC roads?

  • lewismj_waioeka Michael Lewis (@lewismj_waioeka) reported

    @Fles__ @partnumber2 They wouldn't be destroying it. What are you afraid of? If the BBC is as good as you say it is, they'll have lots of subscribers, go global. For those that would prefer to save money and just use FreeView, why would you force them to pay for a service you want but they don't?

  • Rob_Kelleher1 Rob Kelleher (@Rob_Kelleher1) reported

    @theplopster1999 That already exists - called Freeview and it’s crap with virtually no new content - that is what you’d end up with for poor people - even cheapest subscription now is nearly £300 per year

    @ClaireJHartnell @Porrohman @jamiebglover Bad analogy. You can watch ITV, Channel 4, and the rest of the Freeview channels for free (clue is in the name), or you can watch Netflix or Sky etc., which you can pay for as and when you want to use them. The BBC is a non requirement both in terms of content and personal cost.

  • epb123456 Eileen, et, I'm home (@epb123456) reported

    @DarylSting @RhonddaBryant As it costs each licence payer £159, I should hope not. It's a tax that hits the less well off more. There are plenty of other channels that provide an excellent service on freeview.

  • Montrealbloke Richard - Entrepreneur & progressive 🇨🇦 🇵🇸 (@Montrealbloke) reported

    @andymhamilton Is one of the ideas. Need Freeview to do encryption, probably will do in 2027. Hope it is subscription, think Beeb has something to offer, just slimmed down. Sell most radio off would help.

  • mclowes2308 Martin Clowes (@mclowes2308) reported

    @SophieRose19x @sophielouisecc Might come as a surprise but ITV, C4 & C5 have managed fine with no public money for over 60,40&25 years. All free, never mind other channels on freeview, you know they use this thing called advertising, which if the BBC is as popular as they make out will have plenty of offers
