    @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

    @AudsDisease @SkyNews What about Freeview channels? The license fee also goes to maintaining the Freeview network

  • TrilbeeReviews MrTARDIS (@TrilbeeReviews) reported

    @tTaseric The "enforcement" issue is astonishingly overblown. Also, you need the license to watch non-BBC channels but the license-fee also covers the maintaining and upkeep of Freeview services so those non-BBC channels can even be broadcast.

  • theninetyninep1 theninetyninepercent (@theninetyninep1) reported

    @cononeilluk @luckyma_man .. many won't have + a subscription fee of min £7/ month. Oh + probably have to invest in smart TV or Freeview Play Box, oh + have to navigate through all those new menus. I wonder if Nadine will be providing a free helpline to help all those elderly ppl navigate the Technology

  • Chris_Stone1970 Long Scarf Publications - Charity books r us! (@Chris_Stone1970) reported

    @cal_on_demand @kkbigk @OwenJones84 A marginal market at most. What about educational TV? Minority output like Welsh language programmes? Who would finance the freeview transmitters maintenance? Local news? Non-commerical radio? BBC website? World Service?

  • pjtobin00 Paddy (@pjtobin00) reported

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

  • 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.

  • Gus_preston Gus (@Gus_preston) reported

    @Michael37822549 @ChrisMousse3 @JuliaHB1 So you're happy paying a licence fee if it gets spent on other things than just the BBC? What about the support of the Freeview network that allows free-to-air TV to he broadcast. Or the broadband roll-out. Or SC4? That's not a Welsh language station.

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @mrdanwalker Of the Freeview TV transmitter network. 4 months and only on January 5th did we get 9 out of the 220+ channels back, conveniently all BBC NO ITV/C4/C5 etc but it's the North East so expect the southern centric BBC not to be too fussed, you only cover the stories you wish so not

  • MarkFCooke Mark Cooke (@MarkFCooke) reported

    @FunkyA1ien @boxinglyf @GaryLineker Because you're not paying for the BBC, you're a lot of the money goes to the network and various other things, including Freeview, Freesat and the UK broadband network. You can watch ITV and Channel4 on their on Demand services without a TV licence. And it's still a choice.

  • pjtobin00 Paddy (@pjtobin00) reported

    @AudsDisease @SkyNews Do you listen to the radio? Or perhaps watch Freeview? The BBC help maintain the Freeview network.
