    @RickSacrop @neal_preshner Hmm, where I live can’t get Freeview signal, still have to pay licence fee. I have to pay for Sky so I can watch TV, hardly fair in my book. Sooner it’s scrapped the better!

    @ClaireJHartnell @Porrohman @jamiebglover Bad analogy. You can watch ITV, Channel 4, and the rest of the Freeview channels for free (clue is in the name), or you can watch Netflix or Sky etc., which you can pay for as and when you want to use them. The BBC is a non requirement both in terms of content and personal cost.

    @TheLordMidge @5h4k35p34r31 @guardian Amongst other routes there are plenty of freeview/sat boxes that allow access to the android App Store allowing that service to be used on a freeview certified box. It is the major funder and essentially saved the system from commercial demise.

    @tomdesborough87 @Monkeymanb0b They don’t have too. They can remain on the freeview platform which has 4 stake holders. Losing one wouldn’t end the free service.

    @MattHuismanNZ @Orcon Scratch that, Freeview working now, just the other that isn't. Thanks for your help @MattHuismanNZ

    @tonypatt2000 Not wanting to help them, just destroy everything around them & reduce their freeview content by destroying what they, the gov,t, can,t fully control. The wrinkly dorries is spinning it to try to appeal to the meakest for her own govt,s gain, shameful.

    TV Licence: last time I checked, you couldn't watch TV without one (legally) and it was the only fee I paid for TV when I was younger. I had freeview, the fee may have funded the BBC, but it gave me access to so much more. Not bad value for me and I enjoy zero advert breaks.

  • Bob_Bobson66 Sigmundo (@Bob_Bobson66) reported

    @MattHuismanNZ @Orcon Both browser and TVNZ app work, but not through Freeview app. I have another live tv streaming service that uses IPTV Smarters and that has stopped working since the weekend. Wondering if the issues are linked.

    Remember, the #BBCLicenceFee doesn't just pay for BBC Broadcast services, but for the investment in research, infrastructure etc that enables free to air viewing via other platforms and services. Without BBC support freeview and freesat would probably collapse

  • MattHuismanNZ Matt Huisman (@MattHuismanNZ) reported

    @Bob_Bobson66 you using Xplore? i just tried Kodi APK and that wont install either. So I suspect its more an issue with not installing than the freeview apk

    @ClaireJHartnell @Porrohman @jamiebglover Bad analogy. You can watch ITV, Channel 4, and the rest of the Freeview channels for free (clue is in the name), just like the motorways are free except for the Toll roads (AKA Sky and Netflix), which you can pay for as and when you want to use. I don't recognise any BBC roads?
