    @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

  • IanCleverly06 Ian Cleverly (@IanCleverly06) reported from Trethomas, Wales

    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)

  • GeorgeBaldwin14 George Baldwin (@GeorgeBaldwin14) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    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.

  • 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

    @Jake_Kanter @OwenJones84 Wow, I feel for people like you who can't afford cable, imagine just having channel 1,2,3,4 and 5. Did you know if you buy a digital ariel, freeview box or smart tv you can get loads of channels for free, might help with that pesky wall to wall coverage and give you an option?

  • ShowerAbsolute Absolute Shower (Will) (@ShowerAbsolute) reported

    @olibradley @DAaronovitch @stephenpollard Except Channel 4, all the Freeview stations and every on demand service yes, and plenty of commercial radio stations.

  • FactsStomp Phil's Retro Life #retro (@FactsStomp) reported

    @trianabutler @cleanfeed_ttvr @ITV I didn't se it but that was my first thought. I bet it looked atrocious on the SD Freeview service and ultra low definition on the +1 channel.

  • GFan1969 Jim (@GFan1969) reported

    @larmstrong98 @Kevin_Maguire I do NOT believe you do not have cable, SKY or Freeview, so you have plenty of channels to choose from. Have some damn respect!

  • vinceunlimited Vince (@vinceunlimited) reported

    @jimwaterson At least iPlayer is broadcast via an App on my smart TV therefore gets broadcast as HD. Freeview cannot managed HD on any more than 5 channels and BBC4 ain't one of them. SD is visually poor in big flatscreens

  • DecAppear Dylan Canning (@DecAppear) reported

    @rtenews Plenty of alternative channels on the UK freeview service, for anyone who's not interested.

  • PabloAllelli Pablo Allelli (@PabloAllelli) reported

    @GaryinScotland @mandapen Where can't you get Freeview? I can't get all the Freeview channels as I'm about as far away from a transmitter as you can get in the UK, and its not helped by my rubbish aerial, but I can still get at least a couple of dozen channels, even on a bad atmospherics day.

  • jonwensley Jon Wensley (@jonwensley) reported

    @peakajy @DPJHodges BBC1 only had a 6% drop in viewing figures on Friday night. Amazing, considering it was just a one subject news broadcast. There are loads of options on Freeview. There is Netflix & Amazon Prime and even 📚 instead for those who “never watch the BBC anyway” for just a few hours.

  • maggieinlondon Maggie - wear a mask 💙🏳️‍🌈🌱 (@maggieinlondon) reported from Wandsworth, England

    With all this wall to wall coverage crap of a dead man by @skynews and @bbcnews Netflix and Freeview's viewing figures must be the highest they've ever been.

  • OmieAKA Omie (@OmieAKA) reported

    @andyjhpool @sha8erpr00f @mandapen Not that I'm a fan of the hyperbolic coverage , but almost everyone has either SKY or Freeview , both of which have HUNDREDS of other channels available. But now I can't get grandad off babe station. Damn you BBC !
