    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

  • dave_maydew Dave Maydew MW0DCM (@dave_maydew) reported from Tonyrefail, Wales

    @FreeviewAdvice @arqiva More disappointed, but I suppose I've got to accept it, after totally cutting the cord. I do have a tech question though. I'm using the Plex Media Server for Freeview, but the supplied EPG by Gracenote is terrible, is there a XML file of the one you use on the Android app

  • 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.

    @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).

    Cartoon Network 30th is tomorrow. I'll still be asleep by the time OG Teen Titan shows sadly, and i dont think Freeview even has access to it. All I want to know is more info about the new Total Drama seasons 💀

    @Aaronau07516234 @SkyUK Good point! But can say that about any streaming service I guess. Still got Freeview. As it is now I can only watch a few of the Sky channels on NOW

  • newpaulhearn Parliament Must Decide (@newpaulhearn) reported

    @danielmgmoylan @GBNEWS What's the Freeview channel number? Never watched it yet.

  • dozecat007 Boris D'Burger-Zilla (@dozecat007) reported

    Instead of paying this mob of #r4today presenters obscene six figure salaries to giggle and read a few words off a sheet of paper for a few minutes per week- abolish TV Tax and let the poor bennefit from the saving. Plenty of TV and radio on Freeview non BBC channels @BBCr4today

  • Dimpconvery Dimps (@Dimpconvery) reported

    @leefer3 I don’t have any of the channels you pay for, but for the last few weeks I discovered on Freeview no 50 there is a Christmas movies Channel . I watched a couple but they were pretty terrible movies.

  • Sally33903769 Sally (@Sally33903769) reported

    @itvhub hi. I quite often have poor freeview signal so often watch the hub live instead. It often says "something has gone wrong with itv hub!" What might this be? Thanks

  • mellonfactory Rob Fawcett (@mellonfactory) reported

    @Frasier67Blank @mat8iou @AvaSantina I'd have guessed you could require an encryption key to demux it, but never dug that deep! My only geeky tech involvement was due to national radio controllers complaining about the Freeview graphic colour palette because it wasn’t absolutely compliant with their branding 🙄

  • explodingwalrus Carl Draper (@explodingwalrus) reported

    Don't buy @panasonic Freeview recorders if you want to keep more than a thousand recordings per drive, because that's the stupid arbitrary limit they've set on drives. Want to fill up that 6TB hard drive? Tough, the arbitrary limit means you'll barely full it up at all
