    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

  • 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)

  • 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.

    @NightEthereal @JohnDon84246724 You can't implement a subscription service without removing universal, free to air access over radio and Freeview. So millions would lose access. The idea behind a standard charge is government can't control it

  • dolphino45 jackie hayes (@dolphino45) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Help my freeview has gone down . We have had nothing for a few days. We have retuned and bought a new aerial. Now getting fed up Help

    @FreeviewTV hi woken up this morning to no freeview on any of our 4 tv’s .. your website says no outage for our postcode?

  • there_is_no_if Simon Dau (@there_is_no_if) reported

    @Candice57413407 In general, it's fine. I'm just annoyed at the business model of double profits. Typically nowadays you either offer paid service with no ads (I.e. Netflix), or ad powered service for free (freeview/terestrial TV). Sky is grabbing money here with both hands.

  • RTWRich RtwRich 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 (@RTWRich) reported

    @mediaguardian If I were working @Channel4 I'd be plotting a plan for entire workforce to walk out en masse, set up a new, non profit, charitable foundation trust, then obtain digital licenses for a reborn Network 4 (eg taking over the Freeview/public slot used by failing local city stations).

    .@talktv Why is your picture such rubbish resolution on Freeview?

  • mcguirk_26 Lee McGuirk (@mcguirk_26) reported

    @MartinSLewis We have only used a Now TV stick for the last 3 years. Recently got the ariel lead so as to watch freeview. What a load of crap on all these channels. Just full of repeats. No wonder streaming services are doing so well.

  • SkyHelpTeam Sky Help Team (@SkyHelpTeam) reported

    @CraziCatLady Thanks, Emma. The Freeview service cannot be watched through a Sky + box. If you have anymore questions then please let me know. Liam

  • personal_acc_pm A voice in the crowd (@personal_acc_pm) reported

    @BBCOne I have no problem paying for a TV license, when variety is available. Not everyone like the same thing. But all you put on recently is sport! If you are going to do that, create a BBC Sport channel on iplayer, or another freeview channel.

  • Williamson_Irl Craig Williamson (@Williamson_Irl) reported from Neillstown, Leinster

    @lordbambitoyou Picking up the UK Freeview signal then I'd say!
