@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.

@james_blue_cat Can't afford any streaming service or the hardware upgrade to accommodate one. Freeview and iPlayer is enough. Didn't switch telly on Xmas day and Bob and Paul going fishing was my highlight.

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

Imagine how much of a Christmas miracle it would be if BBC3 came back to freeview number 7. I can picture it now, Gavin & Stacey returns and BBC3 makes a comeback. 25/12/19 would go down in history.

@tTaseric The "enforcement" issue is astonishingly overblown. Also, you need the license to watch non-BBC channels but the license-fee also covers the maintaining and upkeep of Freeview services so those non-BBC channels can even be broadcast.

@talkRADIO @Iromg @BeccyRyan What a load of rubbish. How can you pay a subscription fee for radio services? There are no uk based news TV channels which are subscription, Sky is free on freeview. Allow the bbc to compete for ad and sponsorship on a phased basis while winding down the licence free.

@simonday And how many of these shows, and others such as QI, Mock the Week, etc. are repeated on freeview, cable, and satellite channels, and probably being watched by people who "never watch BBC" ?

@TheNine96539330 @TheLastHatGirl @NadineDorries I’ll defend programming for the disabled, Freeview maintenance to give access to TV for the elderly and poor, resources for schools and Welsh/Gaelic language programming all the way. If you don’t agree, that’s your choice. Cheers!

@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?

@Aiannucci @Channel4 How is not forcing people to pay for a service they may not want 'coming for' ? What is your problem? A pensioner for example, may decide to save money and stick to Freeview. Why force them to pay for BBC. If BBC is great, then people will subscribe.

@tafallen Don't they also maintain the freeview transmitter network?

@_Kano_P What gripes me. I NEVER watch live TV for one exception… i only pay a tv licence to watch F1 on Sky… which I then have to pay £41 a month for. If you pay for sky/bt/virgin etc then you shouldn’t need a licence. If you use freesat / or built in tv freeview then you should

@UKSpunkyMonkey @JustMark33 @GaryLineker Yes, that's because the BBC is non-excludable. Sky can turn your signal off very easily and do it all the time. How would the BBC stop you from listening to BBC Radio? Also most of the TV is on Freeview. I'm hearing lots of over-simplistic reasoning in this thread.

@AudsDisease @SkyNews What about Freeview channels? The license fee also goes to maintaining the Freeview network
