  • IanCleverly06 Ian Cleverly (@IanCleverly06) reported from Trethomas, Wales

    Just an FYI @DMAX_UK but you've just showed Series 3 Ep10 of #Archer, when the Freeview EPG (and your website) has you showing the correct in order Ep 9. It has the same down for the Sat midnight showing (ie Ep 10 is listed in you'll show Ep 9)

  • GeorgeBaldwin14 George Baldwin (@GeorgeBaldwin14) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    And has been mentioned before, I and I'm sure many others would never have followed rugby without the Six Nations being free to watch and having it on freeview year after year

  • MeurigRogers Morgan Barber-Rogers #FBPE melt and centrist dad (@MeurigRogers) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bethanjenkins Project Kangaroo became YouView. It wasn’t shut down because it was a ppv model - it was meant to be like an online Freeview. It was shut down because it was deemed unfair competition for private companies. Who are now all Americans.

  • dave_maydew Dave Maydew MW0DCM (@dave_maydew) reported from Tonyrefail, Wales

    @FreeviewAdvice @arqiva More disappointed, but I suppose I've got to accept it, after totally cutting the cord. I do have a tech question though. I'm using the Plex Media Server for Freeview, but the supplied EPG by Gracenote is terrible, is there a XML file of the one you use on the Android app

    @RevRichardColes @carlistyping The BBC gets 86% of licence fee revenue. So we could drastically reduce the fee people are strong armed into paying if they were self funded. Or at least give people the option not to fund the BBC whilst keeping other Freeview Channels. Make the BBC a subscription service 👍

  • Gus_preston Gus (@Gus_preston) reported

    @Michael37822549 @ChrisMousse3 @JuliaHB1 So you're happy paying a licence fee if it gets spent on other things than just the BBC? What about the support of the Freeview network that allows free-to-air TV to he broadcast. Or the broadband roll-out. Or SC4? That's not a BBC station.

  • pwatson1974 Paul Watson (@pwatson1974) reported

    @Lifeson90 @greg_jenner So what’s the better alternative that keeps all the non-subscription friendly services like Freeview or the transmitter network?

  • JezParton Jez Parton (@JezParton) reported

    @mitchyj_ @sophielouisecc No it's not. It provides far more than ITV, for example. What funds the Freeview +transmission network (which many pensioners use to access TV). That's right, the BBC licence fee.

  • Gary1609 Gary #JohnsonOut (@Gary1609) reported

    @Eyeswideopen69 @carol_casey1 @caporicci_r Should that not be a choice though? You are talking about forcing everyone to have a TV License even if they do not watch BBC but watch other freeview channels. Its like saying sky has the best of movies so you must pay even if you do not use the service.

  • Simon_Lucy Simon_Lucy (@Simon_Lucy) reported

    @stephenashman13 @RevRichardColes @SteveBreave If you don't consume over the air broadcasts then you don't have to pay for it. That includes Freeview, FreeSat. You could watch maybe 60% online (a guess), but it would be a pretty horrible experience.

  • theninetyninep1 theninetyninepercent (@theninetyninep1) reported

    @cononeilluk @luckyma_man .. many won't have + a subscription fee of min £7/ month. Oh + probably have to invest in smart TV or Freeview Play Box, oh + have to navigate through all those new menus. I wonder if Nadine will be providing a free helpline to help all those elderly ppl navigate the Technology

  • ukLibertoryan Libertoryan (@ukLibertoryan) reported

    @gro_edu @COYR26 @DeborahMeaden Liar. Freeview is jointly owned by all the main broadcasters including Sky and the network is operated by another company.

  • gardner_sd stuart gardner (@gardner_sd) reported

    @VirtuaMcPolygon @byford_ian @DavidLammy Doesn’t part of the license fee go towards maintaining the transmission network for freeview?

  • pjtobin00 Paddy (@pjtobin00) reported

    @AudsDisease @SkyNews Do you listen to the radio? Or perhaps watch Freeview? The BBC help maintain the Freeview network.
