To be honest, when you've removed the dependency of other real time tv, i cant see many people chipping in. Many will be paying just to watch their subscription service or Freeview.

@leksi_p Correct. If you do not have Freeview, Sky or Virgin (or any other cable service), you should not need to pay if you never watch it.

@FreeviewAdvice I’ve been experiencing a lot of poor quality imaging/interruptions of my freeview in my area, Chingford, London. Also I’ve been able to DM you and I’m not sure why the system is not enabling it. It doesn’t bring up your company when I try

@DrRacheal @FreeviewTV When I had problems with Freeview, I found their helpline - when I eventually managed to get through to someone - very helpful. Took me step-by-step through the stuff I could check and solved it for me.

@stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

@LushJEL I'm not much of a TV person as I don't really like it, but I found channel 83 on Freeview TV which is NOW The 80s, so some nights I just have it on in the background, lots of crap but also some good old ones 👍

@PayneB44 @tomhfh @BBC Your point was you want a break from it. There’s 1000s of channels, Freeview, YouTube, Sky, NOWTV, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, BRITBOX DVDs, Blu-rays. Boxsets. There’s never been so much content to take your mind off it. Or just turn the telly off.

@Stephen_Neal Good shout! If we just take the Freeview/Freesat ones, we get to ten, excluding the National ones: 1) BBC One 2) BBC Two 3) BBC Four 4) CBBC 5) CBeebies 6) BBC News 7) BBC Parliament 8) Dave 9) Drama 10) Yesterday But they aren’t licence fee funded, so don’t help the argument.

@BBCNews And that folks are part of the problem in this country. The idea of what constitutes being poor is misunderstood. Cheap mobile phone, Freeview TV, reliable car, all essential. Not latest iPhone, multiple channel streaming and new car.

@Jimboblue6 Call them and tell them you want to cancel your license as you only stream programming, nothing live inc. Freeview. Get rid of all aerials. They'll check in once in a while to confirm your still not watching live tv.

Hi @ArgosHelpers I bought a freeview box on 21/9/22 but it's faulty 2 months on. Keeps loosing signal then the whole thing has frozen not allowing channels to be changed or even switch off. How do I claim a refund?

My Youview box has packed up. No major problem, but it was convenient to have all my streaming apps (more or less) in one place with one controller. Am I better off buying an android box or a smart tv with all built in? I have an Amazon stick but no Freeview on it. Thoughts?
