@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.

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)

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

@kieranjameen Kieran cancel it, my sister did with hers and hasn't missed it, you can buy internet freeview boxes now and you can download all the apps onto them, no monthly payments then, just for what you choose to, much cheaper

@bt_uk Hi Aaron, I am in complete disbelief as to how long this takes to resolve. I don’t care who resolves it & not my problem he’s not in. I’m paying full price for freeview! I demand compensation and a quick resolve as this is just embarrassing for @bt_uk

@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

Channel 4, E4, More4 and Film4 all have no information available about the programs they currently air on Freeview. Possibly as a result of the tech issues?

@KeithCP2 Hi Keith, It is unlikely the problem would be related to signal if one TV can receive Freeview channels. However, if you could please DM me your full postcode and house name or number I will look into that for you? Christine

Looks like Chanbel 4 on Freeview has just gone tits-up AGAIN. Damn it, I’ll have to rejoin Virgin at this rate!

@a516digital Will this incident have resulted in lower Freeview signal strength? (Getting almost no signal from Wenvoe)

@LynneKerrUK Freeview is a through aerial service and needs an aerial to view. If you wish to use players these can be accessed using the internet. I'm not aware of any Freeview boxes that can take a SIM card but a hotspot may work. Please check manufacturers details for more information.

Annoying picture glitch and noise on #frasier on @Channel4 right now (HD and SD freeview). Very annoying. Please fix it.
