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

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)

@bt_uk Hi Aaron, I am in complete disbelief as to how long this takes to resolve. I don’t care who resolves it & not my problem he’s not in. I’m paying full price for freeview! I demand compensation and a quick resolve as this is just embarrassing for @bt_uk

@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.

@Itsonly99KG @addicted2newz you do realise that a TV licence vis required to allow you to (legally) watch watch or record programmes as they are broadcast on any TV channel, on any service e.g., Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat?

@EdwardJDavey The BBC is a shitshow of garbage and mostly non English persons. It should be axed from freeview. It tries to force people into giving it money with the threat of prosecution if you dont.

@WBATDM @rm_rf_tom @Heccles94 The page outlines the fee's primary use for BBC TV (over 60%), radio, online, and distribution, with small allocations to S4C, local TV, and platforms like Freeview—none subsidizing commercial channels' content, which relies on ads/subs. Broadband mentions tie to past digital initiatives, not ongoing infrastructure. This reinforces the BBC's dominant funding share, where bias critiques justify shifting to voluntary support for true diversity and viewer choice.
