    @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.

    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

    Zoomers are depressed because they can never know the joy of watching Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps on a 6” screen with the Freeview box because there’s no alternative and you can’t get the internet or a phone signal at your dads gaff
