    @d0hertyry4n @wilsonfromnorth @NadineDorries What’s that got to do with educational resources every school/college use, maintaining Freeview transmitters so the elderly/poor have access to TV, having programming that is made for the disabled community? These things aren’t made by anyone else because they’re not profitable.

  • macmeonly buggrit (@macmeonly) reported

    @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.

  • JustMark33 The World According To Mark (@JustMark33) reported

    @steventgray @GaryLineker The examples your using are poor…ITV and C4 are freeview channels and don’t cost you a penny to watch so in what way do you have to pay for that?

  • willlsben Ben (@willlsben) reported

    @SPENCE_JOHN @zsk Because if they really are so poor (let's assume) they will be watching freeview, who do you expect to pay for the massive infrastructure. Why would a private company pay for it when they would get nothing back, as its "free" "viewing"

  • IanTrem Ian Trembirth (@IanTrem) reported

    @peacekpr79 @davidschneider The BBC also pays for the Freeview network of transmitters, the way a lot of viewers still get their TV signal.

  • EastLight EastLight (@EastLight) reported

    @CaptainThunk @DefundBBC They could encrypt the signal and make it subscription-based, since every Freeview TV has a card slot (CAM) on the rear for that very purpose. BT Sport used it for a while - no issues. But the BBC always lies and says it isn't possible, and everyone just takes them at their word.

  • outofoffice20 **** Tingler🙈🙉🙊 (@outofoffice20) reported

    @jamesdeeganMC @BBC Agreed. To add insult to this we keep losing the digital signal on a regular basis on freeview so keep missing out on watching programmes.

  • WohYeahWohYeah Steve Soogray 🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈😷💉 (@WohYeahWohYeah) reported

    @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.

  • TweetsinEpping Terry (@TweetsinEpping) reported

    @MikeAubury @markdavyd @NadineDorries No they slipped that in so the poor pensioners would have to pay. Now they are telling pensioners you don't have to pay, just watch a blank screen as its scrambled on free providers which include commercial free to air providers. A sick move. Sell off Freeview band width.

  • MikeAyriss Mike Ayriss (@MikeAyriss) reported

    @PCarmichaelVO @PumaBare A review of funding could, for example look at maintaining Freeview network by all broadcasters that use it paying a fee. Incidentally, how much should the BBC be providing? It's channels have proliferated. Personally, I don't mind the licence fee but I'd support a full review.
