    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

  • 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.

    @NippyByName Be Careful it’s not a crap massive freeview box type of thing that’s totally restrictedwith what you can do.

    @five15design @bauhausandmies 99% I watch is Freeview terrestrial. My internet is very poor so have to stream through mobile network on iphone. Limits me to something that does airplay I think. Last tv was 17 yrs old - not bad I think. What ovens you looking at?

  • S0UNDK1LLAH66 Darren *Calling out da BS* Richardson (@S0UNDK1LLAH66) reported from Great Yarmouth, England

    @_i0n Where you live got reception probs then mate? Like hills blocking a signal? Where I live is a bit of a nightmare. Cos the high channels on Freeview I can't get cos 5G wipes them out.

  • Marshall2000_uk Dan (Marshall Bros. Productions) (@Marshall2000_uk) reported

    @skytv why is the Sky Q search so bad. The voice & text search find different content and neither of them seem to be able to find anything on the TV guide that has Christmas in the title. Used to love finding Christmas TV specials on the old Sky Box. Using Freeview box search now

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital Statistics for freeview reception show improvement over the next few days, not sure what was wrong at crystal palace last week but the signal level has shot up from 35,36 % to 72 it used to be 64%, talconeston is a little above normal as well normally 61,63 c

  • Dballesteros79 Dani (@Dballesteros79) reported

    @paulrjburke Trying to. Friggin freeview is sh&4e. Never seen it all

  • Mik_Duffy Mik Duffy (@Mik_Duffy) reported

    @soapachu The fact that they're hogging valuable bandwidth on Freeview will never not infuriate me. In a saner world they'd not exist and Talking Pictures would have the budget and spectrum space to go HD.

    @Hrawli @cowell64807 I got rid of cable/satellite TV few years back. Was ridiculous paying £30 extra a month for what you get for free with Freeview. Sky wanted to put a dish in part of the building that would look horrible. I pay £32 a month for internet & a phone line rental.
