    @Lakeuk @timfarron The BBC adminiser the Freeview network as part of the TV license and that includes the infrastructure

  • PCarmichaelVO Paul Carmichael (@PCarmichaelVO) reported

    @d0hertyry4n @TomRafferty4 Well of course it isn’t. Yes. You said on your other tweet that you think only Freeview viewers (the elderly and poor) should pay. 👍

  • MaFt Em to the Ay to the Eff to the Tee (@MaFt) reported

    I have solved the BBC licensing "issue". Freeview and radio stays "free" and make any digital stuff (websites, iPlayer/catch-up etc) a subscription. I suspect there'll be enough people that rely on catch-up and iPlayer who would then subscribe / pay license.

  • MadMitch1929 MadMitch (@MadMitch1929) reported

    @YesterdayTweets Who cares. Freeview is just a joke now. Having to retune every other month is causing great problems for the elderly.

  • jonwensley Jon Wensley (@jonwensley) reported

    @PeteSmi15995270 @NorfolkGood1 @DefundBBC But the BBC isn't. And, if the BBC is removed from Freeview, then the platform will die. So unless you make people buy/subscribe to a set-top box like Sky/Virgin (at >£20 per month) they won't have access to any of these channels. Yep, that would go down well.

  • Takethatjoe Gerald Smith 🤢 (@Takethatjoe) reported

    @Ange_9_ @darrengrimes_ So you think advertising is going to raise an extra £3.7 billion? The BBC share maintenance of freeview, freeview is the biggest digital platform and you casually say they’ll go subscription, not everyone has a fast reliable broadband service and you’re assuming millions

  • Whoknow01623687 Who knows 🗣 (@Whoknow01623687) reported

    @WonPeople Nothing you can’t watch a repeat of on any other freeview channel. Never listen to any BBC radio either.

  • MajorClanger5 MajorClanger (@MajorClanger5) reported

    @res_to_ra_tion @meghansupporter Have you quite finished? No we had never heard of MM before she came into H's life. I live in the UK and Suits was on a USA Channel then on a little watched freeview channel here in the UK. So no we had NOT heard of her. What are receipts anyway? I haven't bought anything.

  • sazenrose Sarah Gerrard (@sazenrose) reported

    After 3 attempts (partly due to Freeview issues 🙄) I have finally got to the end of #StarTrekVoyager. 🥳 Gonna miss my dose of Delta Quadrant Trek.

  • blogmywiki Giles Booth (@blogmywiki) reported

    I think the Freeview MUXes are trolling me. I can now get BBC Three in HD, but can't receive BBC Four HD at all. (I know why this is, I'm just not prepared to 'do a Rod Hull' to fix my aerial.)
