@DooHopper Pick will be an interesting case, no hd an awful picture on Freeview, good slot number but not much heft from Sky to push it.

Why is the BBC World Service so hard to obtain EXCEPT in the one area which is explicitly not the target audience? In the UK the World Service is available 24/7 on DAB and I think Freeview and Freesat/Sky.

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

@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

.@Freeview question - how come the PSB muxes aren’t treated equally? The BBC one and the HD one seem to have a much better signal from Wenvoe than the “normal” ITV one. (I can get Mendip off a random bit of metal.)

@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)

@danwootton Dan, I want to watch but it seems my Freeview signal is too weak on the GB News channel and no pictures appear. Only on that Channel. Any ideas? Thanks.

@BBCCasualty Poor episode, was hard work to watch. Obvious that it was improvised, even before I read on the TV listings, sometime after, that it was. Like a ‘reality’ show on Freeview: people smirking at all the wrong moments as they felt awkward by what someone had just said.👎

Not at all surprised to find that @itvx is a pile of rubbish. Not integrated into Freeview Play's TV guide, no Channel list in the app's UI, so using it for catch up is a pain in the neck. Didn't they do any usability tests? Unbelievably bad. That's if it loads... #itvx

Hi @davechannel @arqiva. Trying to watch Room 101 on Freeview and screen keeps going black at random intervals. Lasts about a second. Other channels are fine, including others on the ARQA mux. So would seem to be Dave specific issue.

@zakir___1988 Hi, Zakir. Whether live is available on a catch-up service would be down to the service itself, though generally, the catch-up services on Freeview Play are to be used in conjunction with the standard Freeview service. Fraser

@JANUSZCZAK It's free live on Freeview. But you have to find it and record it at the time: there is no catch-up service like iPlayer &c. That's the PITA that makes me with much regret miss most of your stuff. No replay.

@ITVXhelp @Loochst3r Apparently, due to last minute technical issues, could be a few weeks before ITVX is available on some Freeview boxes, eg Manhattan.

@freesat_tv series link doesn't work for for University Challenge. Yet it can be done on Freeview. This is not good
