    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.

  • oitappin Dan Tappin (@oitappin) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @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.

  • 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)

  • Monemii_ Monemii (@Monemii_) reported

    @ITVXhelp @ITVX Why? Why is it not available to every tv and Freeview service?

  • Turner64559648 Turner (@Turner64559648) reported

    @MannieMighty1 And yet they will all watch her again next Thursday. I won't complain about her as I never watch her. At least 100 channels on Freeview and my TV has an off button.

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    @Stuart_Linnell @BBCOne @bbcmtd Only on Sky and Freesat. Freeview to follow, by end of April, but not down to each region. Only same as ITV. The HD multiplex cannot be fully regionslised

  • hitinman Just Davo (@hitinman) reported

    Interesting after 2 days of zero TV reception, as mysteriously as it vanished it is now back. I can guess there was a problem somewhere with an antenna that fed into our valley. #Freeview when it works.

  • LRichmond78 Lisa Richmond (@LRichmond78) reported

    Just checked my freeview recorder as the tv tonight looks rubbish. My options appear to be - cheesy early 00s teen drama - bits of wrestling - murders, murders, serial killers, true crime and murder. I may have a problem.

  • Bill_King1960 No Scottish Republic (@Bill_King1960) reported

    Breaking. Hummy declares his support for #ISIS 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233

  • jump_on_thinice CERBERUS (@jump_on_thinice) reported
