  • AddingRandomWit Adam Widdrington (@AddingRandomWit) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @bigpapablu @itvfootball I don’t have a sky or freeview box! I stream everything and have very good internet so it’s never an issue haha

  • JonnyRoLi JR (@JonnyRoLi) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

    @Stanhope2011VJ the last time they said they would make cuts they said BBC Three tv channel and the Asian Network radio would be cut in the end, they only took BBC Three off Freeview but they didn't cut the Asian Network radio station

    @andymhamilton Is one of the ideas. Need Freeview to do encryption, probably will do in 2027. Hope it is subscription, think Beeb has something to offer, just slimmed down. Sell most radio off would help.

    @Forces_TV Was really getting into this tonight, but sadly forces tv on my freeview has lost signal from the Com 7 transmitter 😭

    @custardsmaster @JamesSm37912408 @EmmaKennedy Bigger point, do you access Freeview? Freeview (or to be precise, terrestrial television services) are transmitted on BBC owned multiplexes. No BBC also means the commercial channels disappear from terrestrial broadcast. Your TV licence literally pays for the transmission network

    @FreeviewAdvice we have three Freeview devices and each of them keep freezing for a couple of seconds. How do I fix this? I’ve tried retuning each of them but the issue is still there. I live in South Wales

  • NMackz Nae McKay (@NMackz) reported

    @SaraN12533752 @jim63895391 @jamiebglover It also funds Freeview and various other digital TV platforms that support live viewing of lots of other channels.

  • TomStockport TomStockport (@TomStockport) reported

    @LewisJamesBrown I'd agree with that - keep more radio (hard to outreach places and one which really add value - R3) Gap with freeview used by people lower down the income scale needs addressing. Get the commercial arm to subsidise Radio and the TV channel (s).

  • jamesoffofleeds James in Leeds (@jamesoffofleeds) reported

    @TomSwarbrick1 There are no good alternatives to the BBC licence fee. Will BBC TV be taken off Freeview and put behind a paywall? My grandparents couldn’t work a streaming service? Does Global want to compete for advertising revenue with a commercial BBC radio network? Bonkers!

  • _SeanOGrady Sean O'Grady (@_SeanOGrady) reported

    @JonAshworth Pensioners like their BBC shows too. And people who live in (Tory) rural seats with poor broadband like Freeview too.

  • mclowes2308 Martin Clowes (@mclowes2308) reported

    @SophieRose19x @sophielouisecc Might come as a surprise but ITV, C4 & C5 have managed fine with no public money for over 60,40&25 years. All free, never mind other channels on freeview, you know they use this thing called advertising, which if the BBC is as popular as they make out will have plenty of offers
