  @GBPolitcs Why is the BBC on Freeview?, it’s a free to watch service hence the name. But because the BBC use it they expect people to pay for a free service.

  The cost of cable back home is ridiculously too high. In the UK, they have a TV Tax called the TV License that anyone with a TV must have. It costs roughly $20 a month. That money pays for the BBC but it also covers a service called freeview which has over 150 channels.

  @FreeviewTV Hi. I've just got a new @LGUK smart TV and it doesn't have the Freeview Play app. I often watch @UKTV's U catch up service via Freeview Play and I'm really upset not to find it here. Can I install the Freeview Play app or the U catch up service on my LG TV?

  @easternsparkle @Felstedboy We have Freesat, not Freeview, but can't you scroll down the TV guide to see where it is? I can on Freesat through my TV.

  @MatthewRimmer @MockTheWeek In Wales its Freeview channel 12, I believe Sky has a different channel down in the hundreds.

  @DavidLloydRADIO I sometimes flick from one BBC radio station to the other on TV's Freeview service and the same pop tune will often be playing at the same time in 3 places. Penny pinching banality. The opposite of what BBC local radio used to stand for.

  @0xsimmo @MattSaysFingz @darrengrimes No, not all of it. ~86% funds BBC TV/radio/iPlayer/online services. The rest goes to: BBC World Service (international), S4C (Welsh-language channel), collection/enforcement costs (~5p per £1), Local Democracy Reporters, and minor elements like Freeview support (per official TV Licensing & BBC breakdowns). S4C alone gets ~£100m of the £3.8bn+ collected.

  @bluealoud Poor people had Freeview, working people had Virgin, middle people had Sky and rich people had Apple iMax home cinema room with refreshments bar and heated recliner sofas.
