  Matt Quinn - The Caledonian Television Company. (@Matt_Q_OnX) reported 8 minutes ago

  @BENEFITS_NEWS Well for a start the Freeview service is guaranteed until at least 2034 and likely to be phased out over a period of time; unlikely before about 2040. 'Freely' is currently being touted as the IPTV replacement - From about £70 for a set-top box; this price will drop dramatically.

  @SheLovesTweets @theipaper Freely TV's are the same as Freeview and Freesat, the problem is Internet only doesn't take into account people who live in blackspots and barely get anything much better than old school dial up. Nor does it account for anyone who doesn't want/have broadband.

  Why is @ThatsTVOfficial "That's TV 2" only available on #Freeview, the weather today is playing havoc, constantly "Poor signal quality", why was the channel dropped from @freesat_tv - where the picture was never affected by "atmospherics". #ThatsTV

  @Guyz20051 It's good. There are a more channels than Freeview but, unless you're into obscure topics, you'll never watch them.

  I have never missed watching terrestrial TV, it won't be a big leap to also cancel Freeview. I'll just read even more.
