  • tartan1314 Fiona Collie (@tartan1314) reported from Bonnybridge, Scotland

    @BBCPhilipSim Maybe it's time to make BBC a commercial channel ie no licence. They can then raise income from advertising & charge for iplayer service (believe is being considered). That way no person would have a licence to pay & would only buy in other services they wanted above freeview

    @istanbulfiona @LesleyRiddoch Away down at Channel 82 on Freeview. Why not #BBCSCOTLAND

    Sick of morons saying "I only use 3 BBC services, licence fee is not good value". But: you can only use one service at a time-your argument is invalid. If you use ONE service, you justify the license fee. Freeview is one such service. DAB is another. Even for non-BBC content.

    @Garysonfire BBC Licence fee also go toward support for the Freeview network infrastructure

    @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.

  • jerryalderson Jerry C Alderson (@jerryalderson) reported

    @back_the_BBC #Subscription for TV channels cannot currently be achieved on Freeview because it doesn't support encryption with identity-based decryption. This is the principal reason why government reluctantly accepts #BBC TV services must remain fully open until at least 2027.

    @EstibalizTerron Well done. If people could get the heads out of what Murdoch and chronies want them to believe, they might realise that the TV channels are a small part of what they get - dozens of radio stations, BBC Online, Bitesize, World Service, Freeview, FreeSat, R&D technology....

    @jonholmes1 @Aiannucci If the BBC is great, it will have no trouble getting subscribers, what are you afraid of? Why force say pensioners or the poor to pay a regressive tax? They may be happy with FreeView, why should they be forced into paying for the BBC if they don't want it?

    @_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

    @BillboBilleric1 @alr6872 @mrdanwalker You consume nothing at all that is funded from the BBC? Never watch or listen to them Never use their websites Never use broadband Don't use Freeview or Freesat. But even if true, yes I do, as a society we all have to fund things we don't use directly.

    @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
