    @gary_worden @cjssydney @cptcapitalg @FrogAlaPeche Poor people either don't have a TV or watch freeview.

    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

    @zsk You'd get **** loads more on Freeview or FreeSat for.... free.

  • 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.

  • daveofclanscott David Scott 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@daveofclanscott) reported

    @jamiebglover Get Freeview for FREE, If it’s such a great service why won’t pay a subscription. #DefundTheBBC

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @RevRichardColes Richard, August 10th in Teesside we lost Freeview signal due to a transmitter fire, we only got our signal back from a temporary transmitter but even then only limited channels all BBC & nothing else no ITV/C4/C5 ie not much choice. During the 4 months of no FREEVIEW most people

  • no2jericholane No Jericho Lane Dual Carriageway (@no2jericholane) reported

    @ben_pullan @RevRichardColes You don’t listen to BBC radio? You never visited BBC online? You never used other services like Freeview that the license fee also contributes towards?

  • AnneFinnane Anne Finnane #ProgressiveAlliance 🇪🇺 🐝 🌳 woke (@AnneFinnane) reported

    @cononeilluk Currently impossible to put a paywall on Freeview which many people use to access BBC, ITV, Ch 4, Ch5 or any radio stations. So how exactly could BBC become a subscription service?

  • pjtobin00 Paddy (@pjtobin00) reported

    @raphael91983947 @SkyNews One channel? How about the radio, Freeview network, online bbc content, etc

  • 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?

  • lewismj_waioeka Michael Lewis (@lewismj_waioeka) reported

    @Aiannucci @Channel4 How is not forcing people to pay for a service they may not want 'coming for' ? What is your problem? A pensioner for example, may decide to save money and stick to Freeview. Why force them to pay for BBC. If BBC is great, then people will subscribe.

  • ClintEastwoodw2 Clint East woodwood woodwood. (@ClintEastwoodw2) reported

    @DefundBBC For me it simply comes down to not being allowed to watch other channels without a t.v licence, these other channels do not benefit from the t.v licence, why can't I legally watch them? If it was legal there would be a Freeview box out tomorrow that would have BBC restricted.
