    @dancludlow Never thought of it even. Not that worried, there'll be a solution. It supposedly has Freesat & Freeview on it. Will have to try to get D's son out here, if he ever stays still, he'll know! TV is 2020 model, hardly top of the range but good enough for me.

  • TinaEEWatts Tina Watts (@TinaEEWatts) reported from Canterbury, England

    @downdetector our film 4 snd film 4 +1 had gone down on freesat (not freeview)

    @jamiebglover It’s not just about all the BBC channels though, wonderful as they are. The licence fee also maintains the Freeview and radio network on which commercial TV and radio stations depend. The argument to defund the BBC will hurt far more than the BBC.

    @TheNine96539330 @TheLastHatGirl @NadineDorries I’ll defend programming for the disabled, Freeview maintenance to give access to TV for the elderly and poor, resources for schools and Welsh/Gaelic language programming all the way. If you don’t agree, that’s your choice. Cheers!

    @pauljamestailor @Av8trix1 @bbcpress Never check the news headlines online? Never listen to local radio stations in the car for traffic reports? Never listen to R1 & 2? Never use Freeview, hosted by the Beeb, or watch their classy repeats on Dave, etc? Never used iPlayer? Yeah, right...

  • BillboBilleric1 BillboBillericay (@BillboBilleric1) reported

    @JuliaHB1 The BBC is not a public service and therefore should not be funded through a form of taxation. 80 plus channels available on Freeview that are not funded by the taxpayer, but I am not allowed to watch them unless I pay the BBC tax.

    @talkRADIO @Iromg @BeccyRyan What a load of rubbish. How can you pay a subscription fee for radio services? There are no uk based news TV channels which are subscription, Sky is free on freeview. Allow the bbc to compete for ad and sponsorship on a phased basis while winding down the licence free.

  • jerryalderson Jerry C Alderson (@jerryalderson) reported

    @back_the_BBC #Subscription for TV channels cannot currently be achieved on Freeview because it doesn't support encryption with identity-based decryption. This is the principal reason why government reluctantly accepts #BBC TV services must remain fully open until at least 2027.

    @GaryLineker @Aiannucci If the BBC is great, it will have no trouble getting subscribers, what are you afraid of? Why force say pensioners or the poor to pay a regressive tax? They may be happy with FreeView, why should they be forced into paying for the BBC if they don't want it?

  • colinelves Colin Elves (@colinelves) reported

    @Glostermeteor @stephenkb I’m sure their grand plan isn’t to turn off the signal, but to make it encoded and subject to subscription. But most freeview boxes that people only now have after a long and expensive campaign of digital switchover that was really only about selling bandwidth to mobile operators

  • aw_mckinley Andrew McKinley (@aw_mckinley) reported

    Sick of morons saying "I only use 3 BBC services, licence fee is not good value". But: you can only use one service at a time-your argument is invalid. If you use ONE service, you justify the license fee. Freeview is one such service. DAB is another. Even for non-BBC content.
