    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.

  • 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)

    ...WARNING... @SkyHelpTeam got a new SkyQ box and multi room fitted yesterday afternoon, already it is not working! They claim this is the best technology ever, it's not, they just want your money. Stick with freeview people or go to an alternative supplier.

    @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.

  • jesswarsh Jess Warshaw (@jesswarsh) reported

    @FreeviewTV I've tried ringing but noone picks up. I can't connect to Freeview and have tried everything can you help? Have sent you a DM

  • rook_mike PapaBear (@rook_mike) reported

    The FREEVIEW transmitter on Guildford's Hog's Back is DOWN. No Freeview TV reception in and around Guildford. UNPRECEDENTED! No idea when NORMAL service will resume.

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

    @MisterVivian @cleanfeed_ttvr ...a pay TV service on UK DTT called Picnic. The idea was to use MPEG4 to fit in four channels in the space occupied by three MPEG2 channels. [MPEG2 in combination with DVB-T is still the standard used for most Freeview channels]

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    Replaced with ONLY BBC channels no ITV/C4/C5 or any other channel. However the signal is weak regardless of how many times you manual tune etc. 1 million homes lost Freeview son9f course 1 million cancelled their license when TVL said no refunds, yes they expected us to pay for

  • 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)

  • 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!

  • 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...

  • RichieUK_TTV RichieUK (@RichieUK_TTV) reported

    @NOWMusic Hey if you insist in having a music channel on Freeview can you please make sure the audio bitrate doesn’t sound garbage? The compression is painful
