    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

    @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.

    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)

    @jasonpwalk @Talesofanalfa I would expect you'll need a freesat decoder / set top box at each TV to interpret the signal. It's slightly different from FreeView which the TV may well have a built in digital tuner for, but will expect a tuning signal from on the RF port.

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi ,We have no Freeview in L24 no signal .

    @arjoll @paulbrislen Too much distance and crap in the way, LoS is really bad due to terrain and trees. Can't even get Freeview HD - have to use the crap satellite version lol. Literally in my IT nightmare hellscape geographically. Gaming on ADSL2+ is painful, gaming + streaming = nogo.

    @ashlucas75 I honestly have never even heard of it before. I think it was in Abu Dhabi the one I saw was just flicking through freeview channels and found it on there (free sports channel No 64) at silly o'clock when I could not sleep. Was def good fun though 👍

  • John__Northants No one you'll want to know. (@John__Northants) reported

    @ShirleyaCook I'm just looking on mom's Freeview which I've never seen an R next to anything. I remember a while ago in the TV mags the BBC had an R next to most things

  • TerryON06144598 WBA58@terryoneill (@TerryON06144598) reported

    @TheRainbowStand We should be on freeview channel 20. The Drama channel, definitely not on Sky sports all the time. Even Quest don't bother too much anymore. I thought Pulis/Pardew/Sam was bad but it's even worse now. #Shambles
