    @DooHopper Pick will be an interesting case, no hd an awful picture on Freeview, good slot number but not much heft from Sky to push it.

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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.

    @ScottsRadioSite @BBC_Cumbria True but so does 5G and if we going to update infrastructures it's best to do it same time rather than one after another so they could do that and sort freeview out and roll out better public and private Internet. It shouldn't be patchy network like on a train.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @MisterVivian @cleanfeed_ttvr Saorview uses DVB-T / MPEG4, so it's the other way around. MPEG4 actually allows broadcasters to fit more channels on a multiplex. As a result, Sky News at 704x576 can be done at similar bitrates as a 544x576 service on UK Freeview. You may remember Sky once wanted to launch...

  • raymierussell Raymond Russell (@raymierussell) reported

    @ImagesZx It seems to rely on what the definition of live TV. If a live program is available on Freeview, Cable TV or Sky (or any related streaming service) then that requires a license. You need fire example a license to watch Sky News live on YouTube. (1/2)

    @amolrajan You must be free to speak, even if it’s hating on Kate who many of us admire and who will be our Queen. If the Beeb feel it’s ok to pay someone with these views, no problem. But we can’t watch other Freeview channels unless we pay for your ‘bricks’ Time for that to change.

  • knives_are_cool kyle (@knives_are_cool) reported

    @outsidewolves @computergeek06 that sounds utterly miserable, considering how much of a crapshoot freeview is. i would never ever pay for it

  • chrismlburleigh Chris M L Burleigh (@chrismlburleigh) reported

    @TreeHouseBkshop I feel I'm missing out on this too, but I've always relied on Freeview. There's more TV than I can spend time watching, so I've never seen the point of paying for content I'll never get around to viewing - until now!

  • Hussyville Hussyville (@Hussyville) reported

    Olivia giving Ruby a stern dressing-down is something that I would pay non-Freeview money to see. #MadeInChelsea

  • 4becca4 Becca (@4becca4) reported

    @virginmedia Tv and internet down in #Nottingham.. Their website is also down and not able to contact them by phone.. Thank goodness for #Freeview!

  • HenseyP pet hen (@HenseyP) reported

    @virginmedia @ianwlfc96 CH657BX area no tv , no phone , thank god for freeview, why do we pay for a tv service that you cannot watch

  • whosaidthatthen Whosaidthatthen 🇮🇪 🛵 (@whosaidthatthen) reported

    @Redpeter99 Weeks? We've been without anywhere near a reliable freeview signal for months!!!
