    People who have Freeview - is it just a one off cost for the box or subscription and can you record stuff? (Am trying to figure out tv options and can't get virgin and sky i think you need a dish. Aerial is crap here)

    @stephenashman13 @RevRichardColes @SteveBreave If you don't consume over the air broadcasts then you don't have to pay for it. That includes Freeview, FreeSat. You could watch maybe 60% online (a guess), but it would be a pretty horrible experience.

    @williamnhutton You happy for the sums the BBC is paying too its stars?? Maybe the BBC needs to cut down its Daytime offering. Just make it Subscription based.. If u want to pay U do. If u dont then U dont & have no access to BBC Content. ITV, Ch4 then all truly "Freeview"

    @Life_Disrupted + it wouldn't be free Only practical way to do subscription service is Broadband. New broadband connection for a lot of elderly £25/month Subscription min £7/month New smart TV £200 or Freeview play box £100 Helpline to help elderly navigate all those menus + new tech £1 Bn/yr

    @andrew_wauchope @guardian So you don't think disability programming is a vital service? What about the freeview network?

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries In Teesside August 10th 2021 we lost our only Freeview transmitter to a fire. 1 million homes lost its Freeview. Only last week have people got a patchy service back, just BBC some areas have still no signal. 4 months no FreeviewTv. Tell me BBC r doing a good job maintaining mast

  • ftakeith richard parkes (@ftakeith) reported

    @ZoeJardiniere @FreeviewTV in the UK is saved until 2037, @NadineDorries has to scrap the freeview/BBC at the same time, this is like immigration, solution to immigration is short term visas for unfortunate refugees into the UK

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @RevRichardColes Richard, August 10th in Teesside we lost Freeview signal due to a transmitter fire, we only got our signal back from a temporary transmitter but even then only limited channels all BBC & nothing else no ITV/C4/C5 ie not much choice. During the 4 months of no FREEVIEW most people

  • JAtaska Jack Ataska (@JAtaska) reported

    @RevRichardColes @carlistyping The BBC gets 86% of licence fee revenue. So we could drastically reduce the fee people are strong armed into paying if they were self funded. Or at least give people the option not to fund the BBC whilst keeping other Freeview Channels. Make the BBC a subscription service 👍

  • MattSnarky Meh.. (@MattSnarky) reported

    @Scrumpydude1 @jamiebglover How do you think the broadcast network that Freeview runs on gets paid for? All those transmitters that still need to be operated and maintained?

  • shaycorri Shay Corrigan (@shaycorri) reported

    @SpergenFlergen @bbcpress Doesn’t the license fee go towards maintaining the Freeview signal stream? So 5 of the things you mention there indirectly benefit from license fee payments as they couldn’t be broadcast without the digital signal.
