@bethanjenkins Project Kangaroo became YouView. It wasn’t shut down because it was a ppv model - it was meant to be like an online Freeview. It was shut down because it was deemed unfair competition for private companies. Who are now all Americans.

And has been mentioned before, I and I'm sure many others would never have followed rugby without the Six Nations being free to watch and having it on freeview year after year

@FreeviewAdvice @arqiva More disappointed, but I suppose I've got to accept it, after totally cutting the cord. I do have a tech question though. I'm using the Plex Media Server for Freeview, but the supplied EPG by Gracenote is terrible, is there a XML file of the one you use on the Android app

@GhostOfCorkey @DeathlyAcorn @KayBurley It was the case that radio rights came with the combined TV licence. But not anymore, except perhaps if you only listen to the radio via FreeView, satellite or cable. TVLicensing confirms this in their FAQs. What is better than BBC that you do watch please? Or just nothing live and never BBC, not even on-demand/catch-up?? --Genuinely interested.

.@FreeviewTV considering your "Freeview" / Freesat product is being eaten by the competition, when will you stop YOUR STUPID **** of scrambling the EPG for manufacturers equipment that didn't pay the Freeview tax, and stop blocking the one week of EPG to only display Now / Next?

@blackplastic8 @AdrianFaiers Tech issues make it almost impossible. Charter means progs have to be accessible to all. Millions don't even have connected tv's or internet access. You'd have to dump the Charter. Or provide free Freeview boxes to millions. Cost prohibitive. #r4today

Freeview channel 97 Hobbycraft TV I noticed one thing when Hobbycraft TV was off air on Sunday evening. There red button service has been reduced to 12 hours a day before it was 24 hours a day. The red button is only live from 7pm to 7am in HD. No HD between 7am to 7pm is only in SD.

@Freely_Advice Cannot change subtitle size. Freeview TV in bedroom via aerial is fine. All channels have the correct subtitles. Freely is the problem 😭

John Levene has asked me to point everyone in the direction of the channel U&Eden (Freeview: Channel 57/Freesat: Channel 160) which is showing a bumper Benton package today : The Time Monster and The Three Doctors. Not a bad way to spend Boxing Day.
