  @FreeviewAdvice @arqiva More disappointed, but I suppose I've got to accept it, after totally cutting the cord. I do have a tech question though. I'm using the Plex Media Server for Freeview, but the supplied EPG by Gracenote is terrible, is there a XML file of the one you use on the Android app

  @FreeviewAdvice we have three Freeview devices and each of them keep freezing for a couple of seconds. How do I fix this? I’ve tried retuning each of them but the issue is still there. I live in South Wales

  How would you, technically, make a TV service through an aerial work as a subscription service? Would you make people pay for a Sky/Virgin box to enable them to receive a BBC subscription service? What about the 10 million Freeview users and 1.5m people without internet access?

  @jamiebglover You also get Freeview and Freesat, S4C, and the fibre broadband rollout, the latter being a less spoken of contribution from the licence fee, which benefits all the streaming service providers at no cost to them.

  @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?

  @4Viewers I updated the firmware on the Panasonic DMR-PWT550. Trying to watch Friday Night Dinner series on All4 is awful. Loads of image stalls. How to I check version of the All4 player on a Freeview Play PVR?

  @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.

  @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.

  @HarrietSergeant @darrengrimes_ What’s your solution? Obviously advertising is out of the question and it has to be kept on freeview to allow accessibility for all, so what do you propose?

  @thatfoxxybloke @Monkeymanb0b What makes you think ITV, C4, C5 and other Freeview channels wouldn't add a subscription model? ITV have already dabbled with it in their on demand service. Scrapping the license fee completely could end up costing households a lot more than they already pay.
