    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

  • 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.

    Help! So I’ve moved into a new house. My internet is set up and working but when I go onto my TV and try to access my catch up channels it will only pick up BBC and ITV? Any ideas? I need channel 4?!! #Freeview #OnDemand #Channel4 @virginmedia

    @OrdinaryGamers C'mon, I saw this **** advertised on TV all the time when I still had Freeview.

    @JohnBalley1 Young people don't watch broadcast TV, so it's nothing to do with you getting old. BTW I cancelled my liscence because the freeview signal is so bad. I hardly know anyone who wastes money on a TV liscence these days.

  • BBCNWT BBC North West (@BBCNWT) reported

    @JohnHammond73 We are already broadcasting in HD on VirginMedia Cable channel 101, and on the new Sky Glass service. Engineering work is taking place to enable HD on Freeview and regular Sky.

    @compo99 @irishkazza @BorisJohnson I have an old phone, don’t smoke or drink, only have freeview, haven’t been on holiday in over a decade, never owned designer anything, have had the same old trainers for years and have only gotten one small tattoo in the last 5 years that I saved up for for months. Try again 🙄

  • DonnyA05 Donny (@DonnyA05) reported

    @BillyNelsonBox @MartinBakole17 400k on a freeview station involving a home fighter, that’s horrible

  • Avis10J JAvis (@Avis10J) reported

    Hi is anyone else having issues with freeview today? No signal all day!

  • whitehead1_j John Whitehead (@whitehead1_j) reported

    @Wildflower_80 I should cancel mine too. I only tend to watch Freeview and satelite so wouldn’t miss the BBC at all.

  • MatOfTheDead MatOfTheDead (@MatOfTheDead) reported

    @andyAVAVsystems yeah seemed to me that people just either upgraded to HDTVs with freeview built in or just brought cheap boxes never knew of anyone who actually used topup tv

  • back_the_BBC Back the BBC 📺📻📡📱 (@back_the_BBC) reported

    @MrJohnNicolson @CommonsDCMS How would a subscription model for Channel 4 even work? It's delivered free, over the air. Its only value is its freeview slot, which has to be funded by advertising or sponsorship. It could develop a subscription service, but anyone could do that now without buying Channel 4.
