    @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.

  • 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.

    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

    @a516digital Any room for improvement is welcomed by this, but any form of dislodge, then I will stick to only sky Q as freeview is out of the question in my area. I don,t have any grudge though, it's just so apualing the reception issues here.

    @NoSpinZone_ @QuidVeritas A reach in a week of just a million is incredibly bad for a channel on Freeview, satellite and cable. No wonder Paw Patrol IN WELSH gets an audience over five times their size!
