    @DrRacheal @FreeviewTV When I had problems with Freeview, I found their helpline - when I eventually managed to get through to someone - very helpful. Took me step-by-step through the stuff I could check and solved it for me.

    @Stephen_Neal Good shout! If we just take the Freeview/Freesat ones, we get to ten, excluding the National ones: 1) BBC One 2) BBC Two 3) BBC Four 4) CBBC 5) CBeebies 6) BBC News 7) BBC Parliament 8) Dave 9) Drama 10) Yesterday But they aren’t licence fee funded, so don’t help the argument.

    @PayneB44 @tomhfh @BBC Your point was you want a break from it. There’s 1000s of channels, Freeview, YouTube, Sky, NOWTV, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, BRITBOX DVDs, Blu-rays. Boxsets. There’s never been so much content to take your mind off it. Or just turn the telly off.

    To be honest, when you've removed the dependency of other real time tv, i cant see many people chipping in. Many will be paying just to watch their subscription service or Freeview.

    @leksi_p Correct. If you do not have Freeview, Sky or Virgin (or any other cable service), you should not need to pay if you never watch it.

    @FreeviewAdvice I’ve been experiencing a lot of poor quality imaging/interruptions of my freeview in my area, Chingford, London. Also I’ve been able to DM you and I’m not sure why the system is not enabling it. It doesn’t bring up your company when I try

    @afneil Why are you lot so ******* obsessed with shite from a century ago. You watch a History Channel documentary on Freeview and think you're all Whinston Churchill. Put the bunting down. You weren't even alive. YOU personally didn't win **** all. Learn from extremism. Be better.

    @adrianweckler Zero interest in Sky for TV. We got rid of it in 2009 with last recession and just watched freeview available channels. People don't realise just how many channels you can watch for free, its fairly decent. Can signup/cancel streaming service as needed then. Big cost savings

    @revkatebottley My grandparents never embraced the sky experience only for getting a Freeview set top box to receive digital when the old analog tv was turned off.
