    @mrjamesob @NadineDorries Not to mention the upkeep and maintenance of the entire freeview transmitter network, which is also paid for by the licence fee.

  • 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

  • p_chap_charles Peter Charles (@p_chap_charles) reported

    @Paul_Baro @entoatucasa @gabyhinsliff How do you plan to get this subscription service to work with existing freeview TVs?

  • dazartley Darren Artley (@dazartley) reported

    TV Licence: last time I checked, you couldn't watch TV without one (legally) and it was the only fee I paid for TV when I was younger. I had freeview, the fee may have funded the BBC, but it gave me access to so much more. Not bad value for me and I enjoy zero advert breaks.

    @DarylSting @RhonddaBryant As it costs each licence payer £159, I should hope not. It's a tax that hits the less well off more. There are plenty of other channels that provide an excellent service on 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

    @JonAshworth Pensioners like their BBC shows too. And people who live in (Tory) rural seats with poor broadband like Freeview too.

  • twittypolitty Kevin Evans (@twittypolitty) reported

    @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), just like the motorways are free except for the Toll roads (AKA Sky and Netflix), which you can pay for as and when you want to use. I don't recognise any BBC roads?

  • MT_Kilpatrick Michael Kilpatrick (@MT_Kilpatrick) reported

    @4Viewers I updated the firmware on the Panasonic DMR-PWT550. Trying to watch Friday Night Dinner series on All4 is awful. Loads of image stalls. How to I check version of the All4 player on a Freeview Play PVR?

  • Takethatjoe Gerald Smith 🤢 (@Takethatjoe) reported

    @HarrietSergeant @darrengrimes_ What’s your solution? Obviously advertising is out of the question and it has to be kept on freeview to allow accessibility for all, so what do you propose?
