    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.

    @TalkingPicsTV @grannypatt It's not you, it's living in certain areas watching Freeview is a lottery. With me it's also the BBC channels that come up no signal due to certain atmospheric conditions? Who knows? Last year a TV engineer came & adjusted the communal aerial on the roof. Briefly helped now not😔

    Anybody else in the midlands just lost Freeview? @FreeviewTV is there a transmitter down?

  • pauljholden PJ Holden (@pauljholden) reported

    in the end dropped the landline (haven't used it in years) and dropped the tv package (we're watching everything either online or catchup or on freeview - which, weirdly, in HD seems to be a better quality). Knocks from 56 (+4 increase) down to £46 (and no increase)

    Paramount Network @ 9 Freeview Ch32 The Running Man Go on, get some Arnie down yer. #TellyChat

  • JamieNemeth Jamie Nemeth (he/him/they/them) (@JamieNemeth) reported

    Next week on my Twitch stream: Freeview watchalong! Can't see any potential issues with rebroadcasting content from the BBC, ITV, Channels 4 and 5, UKTV, Quest, etc. I mean, they're literally giving it away for free on Freeview! That's how copyright and fair use works, right?

  • Mlabus5 Malabus (@Mlabus5) reported

    @Rob_McPhee_UK @FreeviewTV Drama; Drama +1, Horror and ITV3 are the main problematic channels. Maybe a relay transmitter problem, but nothing is indicating that on the Freeview website. I've changed the amplifier and still having issues. Thanks for replying.

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi, I’m trying to get RTÉ on Freeview in Belfast. I’ve tuned my TV and all the other channels save RTÉ are showing up. I should be in an area that benefits from the RTÉ signal.
