    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.

  • IanCleverly06 Ian Cleverly (@IanCleverly06) reported from Trethomas, Wales

    Just an FYI @DMAX_UK but you've just showed Series 3 Ep10 of #Archer, when the Freeview EPG (and your website) has you showing the correct in order Ep 9. It has the same down for the Sat midnight showing (ie Ep 10 is listed in you'll show Ep 9)

    @edballs @susannareid100 @GMB One of the worst presenters on TV who interviews his wife is ed Word of advise watch 236 FREEVIEW GB NEWS HONEST NEWS GREAT PRESENTERS

  • EastLight Ollie (@EastLight) reported

    @Lettiejp @AdeGardens @BBCNewsnight The BBC could encrypt its signals tomorrow - technically it's trivial to implement on both iPlayer and Freeview. But they continue to lie about this and to make excuses. I guess when your product is so poor, forcing people to pay for it makes sense. No-one would subscribe to BBC!

  • Dean24148909 𝟙𝟘𝟙𝟘𝟙𝟘 Lord Of the caravan @ Fircombe Hall™ (@Dean24148909) reported

    hoovered all the crap out and replaced 2 of the 4 main fuses), put back together and plugged it in ... the digi card started to load all the "freeview" TV stuff, & ended up with some radio channels and the BBC channels = just dead chuffed

  • Nugent4nil Robert Burns (@Nugent4nil) reported

    WTF there are currently four John Wayne films on freeview right now! Is it John Wayne month!

  • Nuttypharty Nuttyphart (@Nuttypharty) reported

    Why is the government trying to get rid freeview now? The BBC, channel 4, all want the channels via streaming only. So they can clamp down on tv license via ip addresses, more like. There's a petition to block it. Google freeview petition and sign it!

  • Jensonthefloof Jenson and Arwen 🌈RIP (@Jensonthefloof) reported

    @MargeyS09 No problem Willow. So rare that the BBC or any Freeview channel shows very much that she just didnt bother looking.

  • newwales T Will (@newwales) reported

    @FreeviewTV WHY is Freeview absolutely terrible in Wrexham. LL14 can't get any of the HD channels 101, 102, 103, 104 not been working for ages. @wrexham #wrexham

  • sabrina777z SabrinaEvans01 (@sabrina777z) reported

    @stephen2876 @NotFarLeftAtAll Because those that can't afford Netflix or Prime or Disney have zero choice but to watch Freeview style TV and most of that is repeats from 70s/80/90etc so BBC and ITV are bad but they are less likely to be repeats.

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @DavidWiddick Can you please contact support? ALS how are you watching us please so we can investigate? Freeview red button? App? On your PC? Etc ? Thank you ! @TPTVEncore
