    Hope we don't get this warm weather very often.#freeview doesn't work because of the high atmospheric pressure apparently. How am I going to watch #loveisland

  • minxsterev helen kirk (@minxsterev) reported from Crewe, England

    @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.

    @AudsDisease @SkyNews Do you listen to the radio? Or perhaps watch Freeview? The BBC help maintain the Freeview network.

    @jamiebglover Get Freeview for FREE, If it’s such a great service why won’t pay a subscription. #DefundTheBBC

  • Atkinson2Emma Emma Atkinson (@Atkinson2Emma) reported

    @MartinSLewis Alternatives to the TV licence were looked at a few years ago. I was told Freeview will shut down in a few years. How would we handle a COVID outbreak without a national broadcaster and only Internet/Cable subs? What happens to the stuff BBC runs under the hood?

  • __Darling_ Darling (@__Darling_) reported

    The only other thing I will say is that practically, it's also a tax on simply owning a tele. Because I can't just have a tv in my house and enjoy freeview and theoretically never watch the BBC, you still get charged. you can't opt out of the BBC and enjoy freeview

    @zsk You'd get **** loads more on Freeview or FreeSat for.... free.

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    Receiving any channels. They pick on the weak and less informed. Investigate that issue and the fact we have only a bit part service here in Teesside (depending on which bit of Teesside you live in) for example we ONLY get 9 BBC channels no ITV/C4/C5 and others via Freeview

  • ClintEastwoodw2 Clint East woodwood woodwood. (@ClintEastwoodw2) reported

    @DefundBBC For me it simply comes down to not being allowed to watch other channels without a t.v licence, these other channels do not benefit from the t.v licence, why can't I legally watch them? If it was legal there would be a Freeview box out tomorrow that would have BBC restricted.

  • no2jericholane No Jericho Lane Dual Carriageway (@no2jericholane) reported

    @ben_pullan @RevRichardColes You don’t listen to BBC radio? You never visited BBC online? You never used other services like Freeview that the license fee also contributes towards?

  • barongreenbacks Tim Binsley #JohnsonOut (@barongreenbacks) reported

    Secondly, that ‘expensive’ licence fee does so much more than fund the BBC. It also part funds C4, it maintains the freeview network and the radio broadcast network, meaning that that £159/year or £13.25/month is doing a hell of a lot of work.

    @PaulAllenSK1 @BettinaSRoss1 @jackalsbynight Even if you never watch the BBC you still benefit from its existence. As long it supplies services for free, subscriptions to others have to be kept affordable. Innovation & training are also important. How do you think Freeview came about? Certainly not from commercial companies
