  Terrestrial television, received through an aerial, often known as Freeview, is under serious threat of being scrapped. Within months the Government will decide whether to turn off terrestrial signals and rely solely on internet-based TV (IPTV) in the future. This would mean that every household would be forced to take out an expensive fixed broadband contract if they wished to continue watching their favourite TV programmes. Radio reception and signals for emergency services could also be put at risk. Millions of older and disabled people, and those on low and modest incomes, would lose their essential access to TV to keep them in touch with the world and to prevent isolation and loneliness. Lynette, aged 80, who lives in Kent, says: “Free Terrestrial TV is essential for me – whether it’s for entertainment, the news or even learning new things from magazine shows. I don’t want to be choosing apps and making new accounts, I don’t want a screen that pops up with the TV trying to work out what I want to watch. I’ve tried watching television programmes online with family members, and they stop part way through with a whirling circle and then an error message appears. I tried a streaming service and didn’t like it. It is time-consuming and irritating trying to work out where I want to be, to remember the sequence of clicks, with hieroglyphics instead of words. If I make a mistake I have to start again. I have more important things to remember than clogging up my memory with unnecessary information. With my TV in my kitchen, and the normal channels through an aerial, I can leave a channel on that I know I like. I’m worried that the government will decide to take that away from me and others, who either don’t like, can’t afford or can’t use online versions”. The BBC, ITV and Channel 4 are all working together to convince the Government to take the drastic step of an early transition to IPTV, without any genuine concern about the millions who would lose out from such a move. IPTV would mean the end of a near universal free to air service, currently reaching 98.5% of households, where national moments of celebration and crisis can be shared. Although the Government maintains that it has an open mind, the lobbying of the broadcasters is intense, and elements in the Government want to use an IPTV switchover as a battering ram in forcing the UK population to accept, and pay for, the digital revolution. A recent Government stakeholder consultation exercise to inform the Minister in making his decision was heavily biased in favour of a rushed move to all-IPTV. In contrast, the petitioners do not oppose IPTV in principle but would like to see the current hybrid system, where households can choose between the two systems, or continue with both as a safety net, be maintained for an extended period. This petition, published by Silver Voices with the support of the Digital Poverty Alliance and the Broadcast 2040+ Coalition, calls on the Government to decide in favour of the viewer and pledge to keep Freeview terrestrial TV until at least the mid- 2040s.

  Support @silvervoicesuk! "17 million people watch Freeview each week & 9 million rely solely on broadcast TV, more than half of whom are aged over 65. It would be cruel & irresponsible to force the most vulnerable households in the country to require an expensive broadband contract in order to continue watching TV." I agree. This group does great work! They also campaign to keep our fully reliable copper landlines, which will work in any electrical or internet outage unlike any other option.

  @rizzles066 @NotFarLeftAtAll Water and tv bills are the different things. This outdated laws about tv license are causing all those problems. Nowadays not many people still watch BBC or other freeview chanel. People browsing on the internet for news or watching YouTube…

  @LGUKCare Hi. You need to address why the FreeSat guide on your TV's takes up to 30sec to load and populate. Doesn't happen on Freeview which I have upstairs. Your (all too frequent) updates could fix this easily but you dont. 10K of TV RAM mem could sort this annoying nonsense.

  @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.

  @evenskate566 Both of us loathe Richard Curtis comedy films, essentially due to the fact they're slushy Freeview crap.

  @SteveMay_UK It’s Sh💩T I installed one for a customer you can’t record ITV channels even though it is a recorder unless you go into a alternative TV guide which you can’t navigate easily, to find ITV channels via Freeview on alternative numbers that make no sense customer returned it

  @InfiniRunner @thesimpsonRFC Football commentary is never online, as it says, due to licensing restrictions. Only radio or freeview for free, or paid something's through the clubs follow/in house media.

  Turned some old TNA on one of the freeview services while doing laundry. He was clearly going through some **** away from the ring and the storyline was awful, but Brian Christopher literally crying for weeks because Sean Waltman kissed his girlfriend is some great ****.
