    Imagine how much of a Christmas miracle it would be if BBC3 came back to freeview number 7. I can picture it now, Gavin & Stacey returns and BBC3 makes a comeback. 25/12/19 would go down in history.

    @curryspcworld Just been into your Crewe store looking for a freeview box. 5 staff members fiddling with displays, me the only customer. Not one member of staff came to see if I needed help. Going elsewhere as you obvs don't need my custom.

    @rogermosey I fear those advocating a subscription model would be happy to see Freeview shut down 😢

  • Benson40Joseph Joseph benson (@Benson40Joseph) reported

    @tonypatt2000 Not wanting to help them, just destroy everything around them & reduce their freeview content by destroying what they, the gov,t, can,t fully control. The wrinkly dorries is spinning it to try to appeal to the meakest for her own govt,s gain, shameful.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    Ofcom requires public service channels to have slot in the top 24 slots of the channel list. BBC Three must be assigned a top 24 slot within 18 months. Freeview is doing this immediately. Commercial operators have expressed concern that the BBC will swap Three and Four around,

    How would you, technically, make a TV service through an aerial work as a subscription service? Would you make people pay for a Sky/Virgin box to enable them to receive a BBC subscription service? What about the 10 million Freeview users and 1.5m people without internet access?

  • BrandinyourHand Roger Tomlinson (@BrandinyourHand) reported

    @jamesdoeser @bectu @MegaphoneUK The problem as most media are discussing, no viable alternative has been proposed handling issues of vast amount of free-to-air radio & television the BBC broadcasts, with no infra-structure technology that would enable any kind of charging mechanism for radio or freeview

  • AgentC1983 Chad H (@AgentC1983) reported

    @TheLordMidge @5h4k35p34r31 @guardian Amongst other routes there are plenty of freeview/sat boxes that allow access to the android App Store allowing that service to be used on a freeview certified box. It is the major funder and essentially saved the system from commercial demise.

  • BameWiltshire BAME in Wiltshire (@BameWiltshire) reported

    @bbchealth BBC could be a service reaching out 24/7 to include the people who work long, late hours and have poor access to the Internet. Instead we have a mental diet of murder killings and sad repeats. Freeview is failing in its remit to educate and inform. You could have an NHS channel?

  • thatfoxxybloke David Foxx (@thatfoxxybloke) reported

    @tomdesborough87 @Monkeymanb0b They don’t have too. They can remain on the freeview platform which has 4 stake holders. Losing one wouldn’t end the free service.

    @Ojosblue Hi, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview reception. So we can look into this further for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

    @LDNCalling The BBC maintains the Freeview network, they broadcast all over the world and their programming caters to all tastes. State Broadcasting have a mandate to provide service for free. The licence fee is only a part of the funding the BBC receives.
