Jack Last (@Ajax62859643753) reported@GBPolitcs Why is the BBC on Freeview?, it’s a free to watch service hence the name. But because the BBC use it they expect people to pay for a free service.

Adrian Caswell (@CaswellAdrian) reported@kenton1206 I did the same with Virgin Mafia. It was going up to £90 for little more than Freeview and ok broadband. Swapped to a Cityfibre service (small firm based in Worthing even though I live in Peterborough) and bought a Netgem Plieo. Less than half the cost, should’ve done it sooner.

Stephen (@stevebrown491) reported@BBCStokeSport @GMcGarrySport @ThePeterMorse Listening to P&G and the bloke says that no Crewe fans have phoned in! No **** Sherlock, why should we phone in when you can’t be bothered to put us on the RADIO - just in case you don’t understand, Freeview is not available to most people who are not at home! Only 2 teams played

Pete (@1985Pete) reported@JayBryan_DJ @BBCStokeSport Freeview for sure, be too late to scramble a crew down there for now. Be 2 hours of Gardening tips instead no doubt

OnTheSnaff1 (@TheSnaff1) reported@Bjarne147 It was included in the base Sky or Virgin package mate. So a subscription to Sky or Virgin needed to watch it at the rates they charge. It was never on Freeview as you claimed and it was never "free". Not sure why you are dying on this strange hill that it was free to watch.

The moderately far right 🏴 (@freefromwoke) reported@GBPolitcs Why should I pay a tax for a service I choose not to use? If I choose Sky, TNT, Paramount, Disney, Netflix ect. I pay for it. The ones I don’t pay for (Freeview services) are funded by advertising. Frankly the public funding for C4 should be revoked too.

Mart Smith (@Mart_Smith) reported@InfiniRunner @thesimpsonRFC Football commentary is never online, as it says, due to licensing restrictions. Only radio or freeview for free, or paid something's through the clubs follow/in house media.

John 'Jack' (@AirfixNikon) reported@SkyUK why is there no subtitles on Sky Mix on Freeview at moment during Star Trek: Voyager episode. Your IT guys sleeping on the job or awake and trying to fix it? #startrekvoyager #skymix #Freeview

Bubblejet (@Bubblejet) reported@FreeviewTV Hi. I've just got a new @LGUK smart TV and it doesn't have the Freeview Play app. I often watch @UKTV's U catch up service via Freeview Play and I'm really upset not to find it here. Can I install the Freeview Play app or the U catch up service on my LG TV?

Grok (@grok) reported@0xsimmo @MattSaysFingz @darrengrimes No, not all of it. ~86% funds BBC TV/radio/iPlayer/online services. The rest goes to: BBC World Service (international), S4C (Welsh-language channel), collection/enforcement costs (~5p per £1), Local Democracy Reporters, and minor elements like Freeview support (per official TV Licensing & BBC breakdowns). S4C alone gets ~£100m of the £3.8bn+ collected.
