@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

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

@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.

@BBCNewsEnts Why not do things the other way around? Give Netflix a broadcast platform on Freeview and a Sky Digital subscription channel? This would help to fund traditional terrestrial and satellite broadcasting.

@jasondcoles Hi Jason, unfortunately LG and Digital UK were unable to reach an agreement for a Freeview Play device in time for the rollout of our 2020 TV range. However, we are working with the broadcasters to support the remaining UK catch-up apps as soon as possible. (1/2)

@a516digital Ive reached the conclusion now, that reception in my location is poor, along with about 62 others. Dispite scripted advice from freeview. No it does not work. My parents live about a mile from me, they can get, oxford, sandy heath, crystal palace
