Do you ever watch UK Freeview's "Hybrid" (OTA + Internet) channels? (Looking for honest feedback)
Hey everyone, full transparency, I work for a company that runs three of the Freeview hybrid channels (MBC, Trailblazer, and Odyssey). These are channels that require an internet + aerial connection to stream through your TV.
We have some solid content (8 Out of 10 Cats, Hell’s Kitchen, Mr Bean, Lionsgate movies, Mythbusters etc), but want to better understand our viewership numbers. It’s incredibly difficult to get honest, unfiltered opinions from actual viewers unless they're facing issues and contact us directly.
If you use Freeview in the UK:
- Did you even know these channels existed?
- If you have tried them, what was your experience like?
- Do you generally ignore channels that require internet streaming on Freeview?
- If you don't use them (or tried them and didn't stick with them), what would make you try them out and stick around from a user experience (UX) perspective?
Any brutal honesty about your viewing habits or our channels would be massively appreciated. And hopefully feedback will help make user experiences better too, thanks!
