There has been a considerable amount of new builds in the Aldeburgh area in recent years so the amount of Freeview viewers has increased considerably. Anyway, we all pay the same licence fee whether we have the full range of channels or not.

Adrien: Why do you think the licence fee has anything to do with the number of channels you receive? It isn't a subscription and you are already getting all of the BBC services which it funds. The commercial broadcasters do not receive anything from your licence fee and are not interested in expanding beyond the coverage levels they currently have on Freeview.
