    @edgarwright @broccantyzack @itv2 Would make for a brilliant friday/saturday/sunday triple header. Would love to break it down into how many times a year they appear on freeview TV

  • JonnyRoLi JR (@JonnyRoLi) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

    @bigpapablu @itvfootball I don’t have a sky or freeview box! I stream everything and have very good internet so it’s never an issue haha

    @EdwardJDavey It belong to the people Make it private Issue shares One per household Each shareholder pays a subscription Shares can be sold or bought back Stop expecting me to pay your bill When I can get Ch4, 5, ITV commercial radio and all of Freeview for free regardless of the BBC

    @LordAshcroft @AllisonPearson Ms. Pearson is never afraid to point out when the people of this country are being taken for mugs, as she succintly does in this article. BBC's charter should have ceased when Sky launched, definitely by the time of Freeview's introduction.

    @aquitainexox @DefundBBC Im quite amazed at the amount of people who actually pay any license fee. Ive never paid money to watch freeview television and never will. Ive been having a visit to my adress for about 15 years. They wont do anything.
