  • MeurigRogers Morgan Barber-Rogers #FBPE melt and centrist dad (@MeurigRogers) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @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.

  • GeorgeBaldwin14 George Baldwin (@GeorgeBaldwin14) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    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

    @UncannyVal No I think it’s just freeview being ****. Not entirely sure. Can only get bbc, itv and c4 and their digital channels for some reason and nothing else. The channels weren’t working and retuning just lost them altogether?!

  • phoebemonkey Ruth Mutch 👩🏻‍🦽 (@phoebemonkey) reported

    I have a suspicion the Freeview engineer who came to “fix” my connection a while ago is responsible for this madness. He spent hours swopping around cables. I couldn’t check what he’d done because the cables are inaccessible to me (and the Virgin Hub was out of reach!)

    @otivar55 Most people will probably steer clear of @AJEnglish (Freeview CH 235) and never see this remarkable 4-part documentary. Hopefully, it will be allowed to be screened on UK mainstream TV.

  • DoktorFuttocks Daniel Emerson (@DoktorFuttocks) reported

    @twarrestrial @rugbyleagueontv Very true. The quality difference between Freeview SD and iPlayer on a Fire TV Stick, even with my slow connection, is stark. Plus, if you watch something as a stream, it is automatically logged in the official viewing figures, which won't happen on FreeView.

    @afneil I've seen these on Freeview. Both low key, undramatic, no gimmicks and no inappropriate latter-day commentators popping up to give their spin, and yet so magnetic. Very much in the image of Thames TV's world class, The World at War. (If you've never seen, see before you die!)

    So yeah, if you have Christian family who have been rabbitholed by conspiracy nonsense, be aware that there’s a pipeline of garbage being beamed out to God knows how many people on Freeview

    @MattyBray007 As in I thought freeview was a description for something like a streaming service. I’ll quit while I’m behind.

  • twarrestrial r (@twarrestrial) reported

    @rugbyleagueontv the SD on freeview is poor, the better quality on the laptop is good
