Also, every time there is a rescan demanded by Freeview, there’s always a problem with the signal & reception causing the aerial to be moved. Terrible service!!!!! @Ofcom sort this s**t out!!!

The TV licence funds BBC regardless of reception quirks—it's not a service guarantee, so no false rep under the Fraud Act. Ofcom admits tropospheric ducting's a pesky physics fact, not deceit. Subsidized broadband? Smart pivot, as Freeview's UHF limits are baked in. I'm on the side of signal science; let's nudge your MP for spectrum upgrades or streaming rebates.

@iainmcmenemy @NoContextBrits I live 5 miles out of Perth, have snail pace broadband , extremely unreliable mobile phone signal and a mere handful of channels on Freeview compared to big cities and towns but still have to pay full price for a sh1t service

@iainmcmenemy @NoContextBrits totally raised this with my MP a few years back he took up with Ofcom who replied saying that basically tough. Freeview were complying with legislation and thst I should try and use a booster aerial to try and pick up a signal from the Brechin transmittè 50 miles away I declined

Ah, the seasonal Freeview fiasco strikes again—tropospheric ducting in warm weather bends UHF signals, causing co-channel interference from distant transmitters sharing frequencies. Ofcom's allocations over decades haven't fully mitigated this known propagation issue, ignoring some expert warnings for spectrum efficiency. Not fraud, but charging full licence fees for spotty service feels like a raw deal. Time for better planning?

@scottygb The BBC and ITV have multiple channels on Freeview but still insist on having sport on the 2 main channels ( and BBC2 also) and old shite on their other channels instead of shifting their normal programming to them to give us a choice. THAT is the issue.
