  • 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.

    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)

    @rossaverde @BBCTees @amy_oakden The BBC applies for grants to help fund its research into broadcasting technology that has contributed to developments such as Freeview and DAB digital radio. In 2017-18 it received a grant from the EU of €1,282,331 (£1,145,572).

  • SocialSpeedway Speedway Social (@SocialSpeedway) reported

    @Lewis_Bickley I remember when it was mentioned in the Eurosport deal that highlights would be available on Quest on Freeview, which in theory should raise the profile by allowing more people to see it. Never heard it mentioned since.

  • littleblueshed Lynne Aldridge (@littleblueshed) reported

    @helensclegel Not on Netflix, but Great TV (Freeview 50) has that kind of stuff, plus US done-to-deaths such as Murder, She Wrote. As someone with mobility issues, with a partner who has spent over a year recovering after a serious accident, I know about harmless crap TV.
