  @itvfootball TV constantly stuttering. Is it my Freeview TV or the signal? I may have to fire up the laptop.

  @sparry951 @diablik_uk @BENEFITS_NEWS It'll be a slow creep; for many years now some channels on the Freeview EPG have in fact been streamed. Freeview recorders are still readily available for those that want them; if you're using Sky/Virgin etc. you're already NOT using the Freeview service that is 'under threat'.

  @BBCLookEast With landlines becoming broadband only, and Freely starting to replace Freeview we are becoming 100% dependent on broadband. That has dangerous implications for resilence if broadband goes down, or worse if you never had adequate broadband at all.

  @superTV247 Simple answer of course would just be to let viewers decide and make the tv licence voluntary. If people want the BBC they will pay for it. The licence is a poll tax - the poorest and the richest pay the same - and very regressive. Why force the poor to pay to watch freeview tv

  If you are a born-again Christian but have no church to go to, try watching the SonLife Broadcasting Network (SBN) on the United Kingdom's Freeview 94. It is also available 24/7 online, and on the radio in the USA. It is sound teaching, services, and worship.

  There's an interesting problem here. Switching off Freeview would make spectrum available for 5/6G, but at the (enormous) cost of putting all that bandwidth on existing connections. Not least all the perfectly good non-smart TVs that would become E-waste overnight.

  @RightSide_Uk @GBNEWS It's the signal 📡 it happens to me all the time and I've got Sky...so I switch to Freeview and it seems to be abit better.
