    @renrag61 Times just move on. By your argument we’d never have moved to freeview.

    @RespectIsVital @BBC I was lucky enough to have freeview throughout growing up and it's saddening that other generations won't.... Idk if this could be any help at all but perhaps a dvd player. You can get dvds pretty cheap at charity shops and library's. It won't be the same obviously but may help

    @PetroPablo3 @DitsyRedOne @beffybadbelly So circumstances can't change? They may have been able to afford the TV and simply use freeview rather than paying for a service...

    @gerardjasper This begs the question: Since you can't receive the entirety of BBC's broadcasts through generic DVB-T2 equipment (you need a special "Freeview HD" receiver), why not encrypt the service and give subscribers a CAM module to watch it? Let's see how many really want to pay for it.

    cbbc shutting down is kind of sad for nostalgia reasons and cause that was like one of a handful of channels kids could watch on freeview

  • suffolk_1952 Chris Raynor (@suffolk_1952) reported

    @Geates @BBCLookEast I was a big BBC4 viewer but they lost me & a lot of viewers by not transmitting in HD on the Freeview platform from the Sudbury transmitter, ie. Ipswich. They always did on Freesat which I invested in back in 2004 as the analogue reception was awful.

    BBC3's audience is all online. Going linear won't help it's terrible ratings. BBC4's target demographic are all linear consumers. Killing-off BBC4 to keep BBC3 on Freeview makes absolutely zero sense.
