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!!

@BBCNews BBC, I will delete all BBC channels from my channel list on my Freeview TV so then I don't have to pay the TV licence because basically BBC is just a load of crap anyway including biased news. I don't watch sport so have no interest in paying for something I don't watch.

@Smudge1979 Hi Mark. Any channel changes are done by Freeview rather than us. It's likely that it's been moved to a different channel group (MUX) which has a weaker signal than what it was on previously so other channels in the same group e.g BBC News HD will also have a weak signal.

@lewysstacey A streaming vod service is relatively easy to set up. But changing Freeview's architecture isn't as simple as a block on BBC channels. It all gets switched to subs or not at all. It would mean forcing a lot of people to buy new gear to watch something they're already paying for.

Finally got to a point in the day when I could do some book writing, and Mum's Sky box started smelling of smoke. So, instead, we spent the time calling Sky to get it serviced and my teaching Mum how to access the OnDemand services (Freeview doesn't work for some reason)

.@afneil Afternoon! On a slightly different theme.... will GB News be available on Freeview or is it on other subscription service, for example Sky? I'm prepared to give it a view before I make any judgement on it. Many thanks! #GBNews

@BBCNews the price isn't a dealbreaker, although if they stopped aggressively bullying of those who own a tv but don't watch freeview, the would bring the license fee down.

@SteffApCennydd What you talking about, freeview could still continue for all the other channels all the BBC would need to do is make a sub service for its existing service as the BBC, they already have the iPlayer set up it's relatively easy to change that to a sub service.

@FredTedHug 1) No - no post Youview box stopped working, spent all am trying to sort it including factor reset, nothing. Rung Plusnet, no longer supporting Freeview, may need a new box charge could be £160, but system would shutdown in Nov at end of contract - decided to cancel TV option

@DaveMcleanComms That is your choice. But many people rely on the BBC as a free to air public broadcasting service. Its a bit like paying your National Insurance & choosing to pay medical insurance to go private instead of using the NHS. Also, you get to watch all the freeview channels as well.
