    @traceyfromrasen @Kavismate @SkySportsRacing @RacingTV My Freeview signal can be hopeless at best even connected to Wi-fi but the HDMI/laptop combo works well when the cat isn’t jumping on it !

    @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.

    @FreeviewAdvice we have three Freeview devices and each of them keep freezing for a couple of seconds. How do I fix this? I’ve tried retuning each of them but the issue is still there. I live in South Wales

  • MT_Kilpatrick Michael Kilpatrick (@MT_Kilpatrick) reported

    Does anybody else with a Freeview PVR find programmes on the @Channel4 player freezing frequently for half a sec (but sound fine) ? Our @PanasonicUK is awful trying to watch a C4 series. Once in a blue moon it does it on BBC iPlayer too.

    @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!

    @WebsterFrank @abline11 @jamiebglover Could it be some, in fact a lot have freeview, freesat etc and can watch other news. Trouble is we still have to pay BBC to watch other news. Get it?

  • Bob_Bobson66 Sigmundo (@Bob_Bobson66) reported

    @MattHuismanNZ @Orcon Both browser and TVNZ app work, but not through Freeview app. I have another live tv streaming service that uses IPTV Smarters and that has stopped working since the weekend. Wondering if the issues are linked.

    @SamPEAK1951 @NadineDorries The principle is people shouldn't be forced to pay for something they don't want, need or support. Yes, we all pay for essential services that some may not use but that's not the same as a TV broadcaster. If they are so good go subscription only and come off Freeview

    @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

  • NMackz Nae McKay (@NMackz) reported

    @SaraN12533752 @jim63895391 @jamiebglover It also funds Freeview and various other digital TV platforms that support live viewing of lots of other channels.

    @ClaireJHartnell @Porrohman @jamiebglover Bad analogy. You can watch ITV, Channel 4, and the rest of the Freeview channels for free (clue is in the name), or you can watch Netflix or Sky etc., which you can pay for as and when you want to use them. The BBC is a non requirement both in terms of content and personal cost.
