  @NotFarLeftAtAll All part of controlling us. I don’t have TV packages only Freeview & my internet is bad so don’t watch much anyway, barely anything in summer. Unfair for the elderly.

  At the moment both Killer In My Village and Britain's Countryside Killers are showing the same case. I hope the poor girl's family aren't checking the freeview channels.

  COMMENT: It needs an internet subscription, also an aerial for some progs, if your internet is slow you lose all progs, the manufacturers claim it's the internet problem so you cannot return the TV. It's a complete con for the companies to save supplying Freeview. 🤔🤔🤔

  @BladeoftheS I do support the BBC and agree it needs an alternative method of funding. When Freeview is turned off a mix of subscription for drama and entertainment shows and funding from general taxation for children’s, educational and current affairs programmes would seem sensible.

  @LillacTyanu This is the most accurate breakdown in the thread, so thank you. You are right, the fee is for live TV, Freeview comes preloaded, and if you never connect the aerial or watch live you do not owe it. They can chase you, but the burden is on them to prove you watched. That nuance is the whole ballgame. The fee leans on people not knowing they already have the exit. You clearly do. 🦋

  The date of Freeview closure will be revealed in November 2026 by the government. 1 Freeview closure in 2034 more likely 2034 because 6G mobile phone signal will kill all relay Transmitters. 2 Freeview closure in 2044 Only main Transmitters can survive until 2044. Your mobile phone is sharing the same frequency as Freeview Mobile phone Frequency UHF 49 to 69 Freeview Frequency UHF 21 to 48 The future 6G mobile phone Frequency would take most of Freeview space in 2034. Freeview Frequency in 2034 would be UHF 21 to 35 that would close all relay Transmitters
