    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

    @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.

    @jonholmes1 @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?

  • BunniesBum Robb (@BunniesBum) reported

    @JuliaHB1 I'm down to the weather at 5 to the hour, @RealKenBruce, odd Rugby match live, the rest on Freeview. No BT Sky etc

    @CAA_Official Most of the defund the BBC tossers would happily cite "Only fools & horses" as their favourite comedy. They also seem to fail to recognise the Freeview channels they watch and it's infrastructure are provided in part by the BBC whilst they are sat watching BBC repeats on 'Dave'

  • DaveWayne306 Dave Wayne (@DaveWayne306) reported

    @simonday And how many of these shows, and others such as QI, Mock the Week, etc. are repeated on freeview, cable, and satellite channels, and probably being watched by people who "never watch BBC" ?

  • Paulmh5 Paul Hughes (@Paulmh5) reported

    @RussInCheshire These set of stats don't even cover that the licence fee pays in to support the infrastructure to deliver the "other channels" including broadband roll-outs as well as being a founding force behind Freeview. #SaveOurBBC

  • spurlswood Andrew (@spurlswood) reported

    @Paul_Briley @jongreydavies @LDNCalling How do you make radio and freeview TV a subscription service?

  • darrenscrimes Darren Crimes (@darrenscrimes) reported

    @Porrohman @ClaireJHartnell @jamiebglover And if you genuinely don't use the freeview TV service, never see any BBC content etc etc, then you don't have to pay. Idiot.

  • MediaBoyUK Media Boy UK (@MediaBoyUK) reported

    Set to happen on Wednesday (Jan. 19th) on Freeview: -Ideal World moves from Channel 22 to Channel 50. -Paramount Network become 5Action on Channel 32. -TJC moves from Channel 50 to Channel 22.

    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.
