    @zsk That’s why we watch Freeview. The problem is, many will have to work for a living, rather than being a parasite on the public purse and demanding the stealth tax by menaces

  • Rob_Kelleher1 Rob Kelleher (@Rob_Kelleher1) reported

    @theplopster1999 That already exists - called Freeview and it’s crap with virtually no new content - that is what you’d end up with for poor people - even cheapest subscription now is nearly £300 per year

  • Matt_1269501 Matt Jenkins (@Matt_1269501) reported

    @davidholtactor Well a licence isn't needed for radio, so if I paid 43p a day, that would be for half a dozen channels I never watch. The other 60 or so channels on Freeview are, erm ABSOLUTELY FREE. But cannot lawfully watch those, without funding the BBC!

  • thatfoxxybloke David Foxx (@thatfoxxybloke) reported

    @tomdesborough87 @Monkeymanb0b They don’t have too. They can remain on the freeview platform which has 4 stake holders. Losing one wouldn’t end the free service.

    Remember, the #BBCLicenceFee doesn't just pay for BBC Broadcast services, but for the investment in research, infrastructure etc that enables free to air viewing via other platforms and services. Without BBC support freeview and freesat would probably collapse

  • tomdesborough87 Tom Desborough (@tomdesborough87) reported

    @thatfoxxybloke @Monkeymanb0b What makes you think ITV, C4, C5 and other Freeview channels wouldn't add a subscription model? ITV have already dabbled with it in their on demand service. Scrapping the license fee completely could end up costing households a lot more than they already pay.

    @TheLordMidge @5h4k35p34r31 @guardian Amongst other routes there are plenty of freeview/sat boxes that allow access to the android App Store allowing that service to be used on a freeview certified box. It is the major funder and essentially saved the system from commercial demise.

    @TomSwarbrick1 There are no good alternatives to the BBC licence fee. Will BBC TV be taken off Freeview and put behind a paywall? My grandparents couldn’t work a streaming service? Does Global want to compete for advertising revenue with a commercial BBC radio network? Bonkers!

  • mikeapollo Mikeapollo (@mikeapollo) reported

    @custardsmaster @JamesSm37912408 @EmmaKennedy Bigger point, do you access Freeview? Freeview (or to be precise, terrestrial television services) are transmitted on BBC owned multiplexes. No BBC also means the commercial channels disappear from terrestrial broadcast. Your TV licence literally pays for the transmission network

    @MattHuismanNZ @Orcon Scratch that, Freeview working now, just the other that isn't. Thanks for your help @MattHuismanNZ
