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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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 👍

@PrisonPlanet I spoke to ofcom: THEY have not shutdown RT: it is freeview & YouTube who have done this. I agree it is terrible to not let us hear all sides in this "democracy" we live in! Reminds me of stopping all opinions about Covid. Agree or not, we should have the right to hear all sides

@max_stenner I like streaming but I find its so so messy right now as its moving from public service broadcasting and isnt replicating well of what universially accessible Freesat and Freeview offerings offer. It’s more competitive but if you only one service in the UK cant compete with

@helenmccusker @neighbours Had the same problem, watched it all the time on BBC, then it went to channel 5 and I couldn't get C5 so had years of missing it and then have never watched C5 since having Freeview & don't buy TV guides anymore so have no idea what is on normal TV & never watch live TV anymore

@Richard66629722 @florencerounda2 You can cancel the sky TV service if you want and it becomes a Freeview TV. Or you could plug in another cable service if you want. Just won’t have the same voice controls. But the voice control annoys me anyway as it is so buggy.

@Dez45346395 @alan_shaefer EU ban means Luxembourg based SES shut down their feed of RT. Sky and FreeSat receive their feed from SES, it's likely that Freeview received from the same source.
