    @gary_worden @cjssydney @cptcapitalg @FrogAlaPeche Poor people either don't have a TV or watch freeview.

    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

  • PERCANGL3 Narcos Alonso 🇸🇴 (@PERCANGL3) reported from Leicestershire, England

    Unironically, I genuinely think The best shows off Freeview TV (CBBC and CITV) would was any other network 10v10

  • andyjameshicks Andy Hicks (@andyjameshicks) reported

    @AaronBastani It's the reason I'd never buy licence. (That and Sky taking Sky Sports News off Freeview if I'm honest.)

    @Cyanosis1966 @BATC_London @DPJHodges 1) How do you (technically) have a subscription service that doesn’t require a set top box/internet connectivity? 18m people use Freeview, & 1.8m households have no internet access 3) If you need to pay £20/month to Sky/Virgin to access it, it is more expensive than a licence fee

  • algingersmith Alan C. Smith (@algingersmith) reported

    @Eugenecyclist @StevenJonMiller @terrychristian yeah not technologically possible as yet. Too many incompatible Freeview players and people with poor broadband.

  • MagnaCartwheel Boudica .. The Original Essex Gel? .... or Anni ! (@MagnaCartwheel) reported

    @DeBarsham @cool_grandad @ragnorakishere Thats what I said ... the communist idiot doesnt believe history or the truth .....he needs to watch the type of footage I am now watching on "Yesterday" Freeview CH27.... then he will know the truth .. also "World at War"

  • UKAT_George UKAT George, The UK Action Team ℹ (@UKAT_George) reported

    @Hazzreid @fitgeek_uk No they make money from commercials. The issue as I understand it is the BBC own freeview and receive money from commercial stations for a channel space. So essentially they can charge for freeview use via a licence fee. Sadly itv sold freeview to the BBC.

  • steve44uk Stephen Bouchard (@steve44uk) reported

    @AceGerry @ShimonaGordon You need to be covered by a TV Licence if you watch live on any channel, TV service or streaming service - such as ITVX, All 4, YouTube, Sky, Virgin, BT, Freeview

  • larissaweems lettie (@larissaweems) reported

    when i was young we couldn’t afford anything like sky and freeview wasn’t really a thing, and then when it was introduced we still couldn’t have it because we didn’t get a signal. citv and bbc was the only way i could watch children’s tv after school/sick days and i feel like

  • PaulCarmichaelV Paul Carmichael (@PaulCarmichaelV) reported

    @SZgoesCrazy @BBCBreaking I think that programming for disabled people, educational resources for children, maintaining the Freeview transmitter service for the poor and elderly is all worthwhile. You apparently don’t. We can agree to disagree.
