  • 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)

    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

    @Ambraneri You would think so, but a cursory Google suggests ITV 4 HD doesn't exist on Freeview and my TV seems to agree. Really you'd think HD would just be the standard now. There's barely any point broadcasting football in SD it looks that bad.

  • BlazeHome Rich (@BlazeHome) reported

    Doesn't really matter as both are live on Freeview but I can't help thinking Austria Vs Ukraine should be the ITV1 game rather than Netherlands Vs North Macedonia as that actually has something riding on it. #Euro2020

    Thank goodness for Freeview as @virgin media down in my area for up to 6 hours. They've gone strangely quiet on Twitter with their self congratulatory messages

  • BrexitFoxy The People's Foxy 🦊 (@BrexitFoxy) reported

    @CraggsLewis @tvlicensing @tvlicensingnews If it's the live stream, as it's also a Freeview broadcast channel then yeah you need a TV licence. If you're just watching catch-up on-demand clips, then you don't need one. The law is stupid, but that's the way it is at the moment.

  • aging_hacker JD (@aging_hacker) reported

    @GBNEWS .. Can you fix the sound levels on freesat and freeview please , your station is significantly quieter than others, after watching you, flipping to other channels blows my head off. Also studio sound like someone hasn't removed the plastic bag from around the new microphone 😡 .

  • FplStatsdan Dan 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@FplStatsdan) reported

    UK peeps: is there any way to watch ITV4 in HD if you only have Freeview? Relegating the match which actually matters for qualification to ITV4 is a poor move from ITV.

  • WhizzoUK Jason Wilson (@WhizzoUK) reported

    The picture quality on ITV4 on Freeview for Ukraine v Austria is worse than some dodgy football streams I've obviously never watched.

  • kipper_manx Manx Kipper🇬🇧 (@kipper_manx) reported

    @ElaineKirk @another_jan @canadiancarol1 Yes, that is what I watch it on, if you have a smart TV there is possibly some way of doing it through Freeview or other catch up service? Unfortunately I don’t have a smart TV, just an old one that sat silently in a corner when I stopped watching tv in disgust years ago!
