Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

@MrJohnNicolson @CommonsDCMS How would a subscription model for Channel 4 even work? It's delivered free, over the air. Its only value is its freeview slot, which has to be funded by advertising or sponsorship. It could develop a subscription service, but anyone could do that now without buying Channel 4.

@dr_monkeyface @Superproprep @GuildOfMakers next door tried to pay me just for retuning their freeview tv! To them it's hiring in a skill they didn't have, to me it's *press two buttons and turn down their money*

@MrJohnNicolson @terrychristian @Channel4 She’s lying. Selling off Channel 4 is prologue to selling off the BBC. Only rich Tories will benefit from it. The poor will have to pay more for subscription TV than they ever would for the BBC, ITV C4, C5 and Freeview. All that for around 47p a day licence fee.

@gemmaahutton I can really empathize🙋 I'm in Ireland and watch on a Freeview box. Only have crap internet, so can't watch 1 channel & record a different one. No Sky, Netflix or the like 🙄 And cos I'm not in the UK, no BBC player, etc. Still, I make do

@dilusionalworld @glenpen60 @SkyNewsAust I have never watched it, we use the the station block of so I don't have to deal with tabloid TV BS, the station was a failure on pay-per-view so had to move to Freeview to get anyone to watch the biased BS their shock-jocks waffle on about, watching it can give you brain damage

@JohnHammond73 We are already broadcasting in HD on VirginMedia Cable channel 101, and on the new Sky Glass service. Engineering work is taking place to enable HD on Freeview and regular Sky.

@DefundBBC The problem with a subscription service, it that it needs subscription hardware. When Freeview first appeared, receivers often included a card slot, allowing encrypted channels to be decoded. If similar functionality still exists, I've seen no sign of it.

…as well as numerous add on packages and this money is being completely wasted. The customer service is absolutely shocking. I have relied on now tv rather than freeview etc for television in my home and am now left with nothing even though I’m paying upwards of £25 a month.

@andyAVAVsystems yeah seemed to me that people just either upgraded to HDTVs with freeview built in or just brought cheap boxes never knew of anyone who actually used topup tv
