  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @jaxlfc_jj @YaTerrynorris70 It’s not restricted to the BBC. If you watch or record live TV on any channel - either through your TV or through a website - then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home, & whether or not you watch BBC channels.

    @MrTrevMcCarthy @DaveHogg2 @LeeJBBC I don't need the BBC if I break my leg. We generally all go to school - some pay twice if they go private. Freeview exists. How on Earth can you comment about an affordable service - how many other countries force payment to turn on your TV?

  • JustMark33 The World According To Mark (@JustMark33) reported

    @steventgray @GaryLineker The examples your using are poor…ITV and C4 are freeview channels and don’t cost you a penny to watch so in what way do you have to pay for that?

  • PCarmichaelVO Paul Carmichael (@PCarmichaelVO) reported

    @brownboots23 @stevehemsley @NadineDorries So how do we provide such things as disability programming, Welsh language broadcasting, maintain the Freeview transmitter network (used largely by the elderly and poor) and provide educational resources? These don’t generate profit. Ready when you are.

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    @PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries BBC does NOT maintain Freeview network. That is Arqiva. BBC in partnership with other PSB broadcasters own Freeview. They, like other broadcaster pay carriage charges to Arqiva.

  • ClarkKe01956140 4 seasons, 12 trophies, history makers!!! (@ClarkKe01956140) reported

    @Fionasstalker Why not list all the services from ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 and the numerous free services on freeview. At worst the same quality but IMO better than bbc offerings

  • MrSaffron Andrew Ferguson OBE (@MrSaffron) reported

    @c_newman2010 @ruskin147 Be interested in knowing how that works since would not work over freeview and means set-top box or app on tv needed and this will impact the elderly and poor most. Knock on effect cost to run freeview for itv/c4 increases meaning likely to go subscription too

  • ThatJoelfella That (BLANK) fella 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (@ThatJoelfella) reported

    @PaulM30033923 @Radioheady2021 @NadineDorries Guess you don’t watch a single BBC televison show, radio programme, or BBC funded film or read any BBC website or make use of the Freeview transmitter network?

  • IvyVic18 Figgy (@IvyVic18) reported

    @SueLamerton @susan1878 @BFinham So much on freeview that you won’t miss much 👍🏽 Iplayer fabulous. BBC Sounds brilliant too oh and World Service, the list goes on. I think bbc news crap but so what, there’s so much more to the BBC but as per, many have got distracted and turned against the entire broadcaster 🙄

  • davidkeatsuk David Keats (@davidkeatsuk) reported

    @Marc_Burrows @scottygb I mean, yes, but their thinking isn’t having the BBC on freeview. They want a new way to pay for the BBC. So if the BBC’s ends up paying for its freeview space as it was no longer a public broadcaster - the BBC might commercially decide to no longer be a service for all.Disaster

  • RainbowChazer Music is my first love. And it will be my last. (@RainbowChazer) reported

    If the govt wants costs to be paid for pensioners and the unemployed, put it in general taxation. So most people will still have to pay for it, but won't be able to moan about it being poor value for money. Also would preserve Freeview and radio, which are apparently popular.
