@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

@flickeringflxme I’ve never seen that one myself but somehow my granddad ended up buying it for himself which was made weirder by the fact he only had freeview so didn’t even have Disney Channel. He loved it though

@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

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)

@cal_on_demand @kkbigk @OwenJones84 A marginal market at most. What about educational TV? Minority output like Welsh language programmes? Who would finance the freeview transmitters maintenance? Local news? Non-commerical radio? BBC website? World Service?

@MartinSLewis Alternatives to the TV licence were looked at a few years ago. I was told Freeview will shut down in a few years. How would we handle a COVID outbreak without a national broadcaster and only Internet/Cable subs? What happens to the stuff BBC runs under the hood?

@RevRichardColes @carlistyping The BBC gets 86% of licence fee revenue. So we could drastically reduce the fee people are strong armed into paying if they were self funded. Or at least give people the option not to fund the BBC whilst keeping other Freeview Channels. Make the BBC a subscription service 👍

@PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries And there lies the problem, very few people speak Welsh/Gaelic and yet millions is poured into it, not value for money. It's not freeview if we are paying a licence fee for it.

@mitchyj_ @sophielouisecc No it's not. It provides far more than ITV, for example. What funds the Freeview +transmission network (which many pensioners use to access TV). That's right, the BBC licence fee.

@Michael37822549 @ChrisMousse3 @JuliaHB1 So you're happy paying a licence fee if it gets spent on other things than just the BBC? What about the support of the Freeview network that allows free-to-air TV to he broadcast. Or the broadband roll-out. Or SC4? That's not a Welsh language station.

Meh..
(@MattSnarky) reported
@Scrumpydude1 @jamiebglover How do you think the broadcast network that Freeview runs on gets paid for? All those transmitters that still need to be operated and maintained?

@nw_nicholas BBC 3 went online only, BBC2 is an overflow for BBC1 and BBC4 is an archive channel. I hardly ever turn the TV on as Freeview is mainly a catch-up service for ITV and Channel 4 with BBC repeats ad nauseum.

@tafallen Don't they also maintain the freeview transmitter network?
