I use Freeview as my only TV viewing. Don't have cable or satellite. Tend to download and watch stuff if required. However, don't think I'd bother for subscription based TV.

A report reads: "The BBC should carefully review its investments in TV platforms, namely Freeview, Freesat and YouView in light of BBC-wide platform and distribution strategy and in particular its duty to promote the availability of services free (or at no incremental cost) at the point of delivery."
Implications

It continues: "In practice, nearly all YouView 'sales' have been of subsidised equipment offered by sponsoring internet service providers [BT and TalkTalk] in exchange for a subscription payment of some kind.
"This may have implications for the BBC's strategy of promoting "free" access to its services."
Earlier this week, it was reported that the BBC and other YouView partners like Channel 4, Channel 5 and ITV are going to slash their investment in the on-demand, connected platform.
It comes amid fears the platform, which was intended to assure free-to-air television continued to prosper in the digital era, has been hijacked as a means of selling TV packages.
