    @benedictrogers @Ofcom I agree but most people have a Sky or BT receiver and never use Freeview.

    Well TV has gone off again. We had BBC and ITV for a few days but that has gone now. Message from Freeview to say the 28th when all was due to back to normal will not happen due to an access issue with the land owner. Will we get a refund on our TV licence? #Bilsdalesbuggered

    @DefundBBC I look at #freeview TV schedule a couple of times a week & rarely find anything I want to watch on any of the channels. But I'm an old ***. My son NEVER bothers with the main TV at all. Tablet, pc or phone is where he & his peers view content. #bbc etc take note.
