  Over 13 million households across the UK currently rely on Freeview - and residents could be forced to fork out an additional £20 monthly and potentially purchase a new television set if the service is discontinued, experts have cautioned.

  @dodgson_sally Since all the channels on Freeview carry adverts why on earth is the Govt getting involved in trying to scrap it? Surely it funds itself? Bad news for pensioners & disabled people who rely on access to tv every day. Better to scrap GB News & OfCom. @lisanandy @andyburnham

  MILLIONS FACE LOSS OF FREEVIEW TV AFTER LOBBYING BY BBC AND ITV BACKED BODY Freeview which serves 13.6 million homes and 40 percent of UK households with more than 70 channels including BBC One ITV Channel 4 and Channel 5 could be axed after 2034 under government plans to end digital terrestrial television. Ministers are expected to publish a consultation paper within weeks setting out the path to an internet only future in the mid 2030s with the switch depending on universal affordable superfast broadband. Campaigners at Silver Voices which represents older people have launched a petition warning the move would disproportionately hit elderly low income and rural viewers who rely on aerials rather than streaming. The push is driven by The Connection Project a lobbying body funded by the BBC ITV Vodafone and BT all of whom stand to benefit commercially from moving viewers online and reducing costs of maintaining one platform. Dennis Reed of Silver Voices said the companies funding The Connection Project all have a commercial interest in moving services online and older viewers deserve better. The Connection Project responded that the transition preserves everyones right to free public service TV via broadband with subsidised costs where needed while the BBC and Department for Culture Media and Sport confirmed they are working to ensure nobody is left behind. Thoughts?

  Reckon we had better offerings on TV last week in our lodge ( caravan ) with Freeview than we do back home with virgin media. TV sucks.

  @BBCBreaking Not surprised, they are a nightmare when you cancel, even when your income changes when off work. Thankfully got out of it and went back to Freeview.
