  @BoostTorbay @AndrewBrazier1 Never used the first two options. Very much old school. None of the fancy pants Sky or Virgin Media either. Just plain old Freeview for me

  @Jcaird2 It’s basically freeview albeit a bit cut down via the internet. We have been fine without aerial anyway and missed nothing we like but it will be nice to flick through stuff again and stumbling on something to watch.

  One of the things that fcks me off more than anything else in cheap hotels like Travelodge especially but also Premier Inn is they never bother to retune most TVs on Freeview. The hotel I'm in tonight upt North looks like it hasn't had the channels updated for at least 5 years.

  @steyn1423024 @WhiteRoofer @CollinRugg One i did want yo see that recent was the one(name escapes me, maybe "poor things"??) with Emma Stone as the dead resurrected strange girl. It seemed intriguing but I haven't spotted it on Freeview yet

  MILLIONS FACE LOSS OF FREEVIEW TV AFTER LOBBYING BY BBC AND ITV BACKED BODY Freeview which serves 13.6 million homes and 40 percent of UK households with more than 70 channels including BBC One ITV Channel 4 and Channel 5 could be axed after 2034 under government plans to end digital terrestrial television. Ministers are expected to publish a consultation paper within weeks setting out the path to an internet only future in the mid 2030s with the switch depending on universal affordable superfast broadband. Campaigners at Silver Voices which represents older people have launched a petition warning the move would disproportionately hit elderly low income and rural viewers who rely on aerials rather than streaming. The push is driven by The Connection Project a lobbying body funded by the BBC ITV Vodafone and BT all of whom stand to benefit commercially from moving viewers online and reducing costs of maintaining one platform. Dennis Reed of Silver Voices said the companies funding The Connection Project all have a commercial interest in moving services online and older viewers deserve better. The Connection Project responded that the transition preserves everyones right to free public service TV via broadband with subsidised costs where needed while the BBC and Department for Culture Media and Sport confirmed they are working to ensure nobody is left behind. Thoughts?

  @InfiniRunner @thesimpsonRFC Football commentary is never online, as it says, due to licensing restrictions. Only radio or freeview for free, or paid something's through the clubs follow/in house media.

  @rizzles066 @NotFarLeftAtAll Water and tv bills are the different things. This outdated laws about tv license are causing all those problems. Nowadays not many people still watch BBC or other freeview chanel. People browsing on the internet for news or watching YouTube…

  @the_saffman @TheDoctorMagic @AlanJLSmith Not any more. However, BBC World Service is available in the UK on Freeview, so it's not as if you're paying for something you can't listen to, unlike when it was funded through taxation. Plus cable and satellite operators abroad also pay to carry it.
