@Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

@Claire_Pickard @sueashton3000 Many residents in Sunderland & along the Durham Coast also receive Freeview Channels from the Bilsdale transmitter. The fire is also likely to have knocked out about 30 relay stations, which "feed" on signals from Bilsdale. I wouldn't like to climb up the transmitter to fix it!

@PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries They don't maintain the freeview network. It's a joint enterprise with ITV and Chanel 4. Plus it makes money from adverts.

@mrdanwalker I look every evening on my Freeview app. Apart from war films, programmes about America & Australia, rich peoples hotels or stupid programmes about rich kids dating each other, there’s nothing on.

@Fionasstalker Great, so anyone that wants to pay for that service should be able to, others on a budget, should be able to opt out and just watch Freeview.

@d0hertyry4n @wilsonfromnorth @NadineDorries The point is that these are educational resources that are free to schools and colleges, OFSTED approved and inline with the National curriculum. The transmitters carry all channels. Freeview is how the elderly and poor access TV.

@ledredman @jeremybear123 @JolyonMaugham There is a false narrative that Freeview can be phased out. Anyone who has watched anything live on Amazon or ITV Hub can tell you internet broadcasting is not up to scratch. Selling spectrum so people can watch shows on phones at expense of watching in HD on TV is just stupid.

@JuliaHB1 You fail to mention the BBC also contribute to both Broadband and Freeview. I suppose you never use them either ? All for 43p a day 👍

@chrisbardell @davidschneider If you use a subscription service ie Sky/Virgin then the licence fee should be optional until you want BBC added to your plan (then you pay the fee). If you watch freeview then you pay the licence fee as it’s funding the service you use. Just give people the choice.

@CalElcombe @zsk And what happens to the national broadcasting infrastructure when it's not being paid for anymore? No Freeview for starters. If a transmitters fails no-one will fix it too.

@talkRADIO The ignorance surrounding the model for the bbc is astounding. The biggest issue people have seems to be with bbc news. There is no news stations in the uk that are subscription only, even sky news is on freeview. In addition it is not technically possible for radio stations
