    @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

    @A_Liberty_Rebel @MargotLJParker @CatharineHoey Why not have low resolution & mono sound (with expensive sports/etc events replaced by old films) on the Freeview service, and HD & stereo of full repertoire on paid services?

  • moonstruckl987 . (@moonstruckl987) reported

    @mawju5 the worst era was before i had freeview. just 5 sad channels so ghetto😭 they would put on like 2 hrs of cbbc and that was it skjsjsnsns i sufferedd

  • MG_Steve MGSteve (@MG_Steve) reported

    @LukePollard To be honest though, I wonder how many actually watch it on normal TV and not via iPlayer? I can only go off our experience which is I only use freeview to watch F1 on Channel 4 occasionally, otherwise its iPlayer on the PS4 / TV. Still think it's a bad idea though.

  • BO3673 Phil (@BO3673) reported

    @renrag61 Times just move on. By your argument we’d never have moved to freeview.

  • Pic889 Dimitris (@Pic889) reported

    @chrisgseeger @FT This begs the question: Since you can't receive the entirety of BBC's broadcasts through generic DVB-T2 equipment (you need a special "Freeview HD" receiver), why not encrypt the service and give subscribers a CAM module to watch it? Let's see how many really want to pay for it.

  • k0_shields 𝕜𝕠𝕕𝕚★ (@k0_shields) reported

  • HiddenYorkshire Catherine Warr - Yorkshire's Hidden History (@HiddenYorkshire) reported

    With more freeview channels being shut down and mainstream channels and production companies seeking only programmes and subjects which appeal to the lowest common denominator, it's more apparent than ever why platforms like YouTube are able to bridge that information gap.

    @PetroPablo3 @DitsyRedOne @beffybadbelly So circumstances can't change? They may have been able to afford the TV and simply use freeview rather than paying for a service...

    @simonharris_mbd And they should have Betamax players too. None of these la di dah Freeview thingies. Poor people are just SPOILED...
