MikeB, I have never been influenced by adverts i see on TV, I always buy what i feel i need. My only contention regarding the TV Licence, is that , it should no longer be a privilege to own a TV, which in essence it is.,that is the whole principal of licensing. I would be prepared to pay a token fee to the BBC for certain viewing ,but resent it being compulsory .

MikeB. I understand your argument, but watching commercial tv is not conditioned by having to have a License to do so. I loathe the compulsion imposed upon us by the Establishment that if you want to watch the BBC, you have to have the permit. And as now seems likely, people who can watch the BBC Iplayer on their internet devices wether they have a TV or not, will have to have a license. I will continue, along with many others to seek the abolition of this archaic intrusion into our freedom of choice.

Not sure this relates to this site, but ! The Teletext service on BBC has become unavailable on my Panasonic smart tv.. It was available until a recent software update. I have tried re tunes and factory settings. From blogs on relevant web sites, i understand, this problem is common. on many new smart tv's. any answers ?

I have been so pleased with the Freeview platform over recent months, that i cancelled my tv bundle with a major provider. I believe this to be a trend gathering pace. The major providers are losing customers who find Freeview caters for their TV needs. Please stay Free , Perhaps the next move in TV would be the abolition of the TV License,so that it is no longer a privilege to own and operate a TV. Full marks to FREEVIEW.
