    @MarketaDee @CNN Freeview has never worked for us for some reason.. will try again. Thanks.

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

    @traceyfromrasen @Kavismate @SkySportsRacing @RacingTV My Freeview signal can be hopeless at best even connected to Wi-fi but the HDMI/laptop combo works well when the cat isn’t jumping on it !

    @blaiklockBP @BBC Pay the fines - I can get you round that, don't watch the BBC at all once you cancel the licence. Unplug it from the aeriel, delete the freeview apps. It is hard the first week, then it gets so easy you'll think why you were ever addicted to that crap.

    @DrHoenderkamp @BBC How's that going to fund radio transmitters, freeview, local TV reporters, the world service, broadband rollout, other UK language channels such as S4C, etc. It would mean taxes would go up to support that as commercial companies wouldn't find that.

    @AnnekaRice @BBCBreaking But why must I pay for a service I do not use. now we got freeview and Prime and Netflix the license fee should only be for those that watch BBC. I don't hate it just nothing on there of any interest .
