Simon π€ (@uncriticalsimon) reported from Newport, WalesWhy 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.
-
Ian Cleverly (@IanCleverly06) reported from Trethomas, WalesJust 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)

Simon π₯ππ ππππ (@uncriticalsimon) reported from Newport, Wales.@Freeview question - how come the PSB muxes arenβt treated equally? The BBC one and the HD one seem to have a much better signal from Wenvoe than the βnormalβ ITV one. (I can get Mendip off a random bit of metal.)

Anne Wells (@annewells26) reported@NotFarLeftAtAll All part of controlling us. I donβt have TV packages only Freeview & my internet is bad so donβt watch much anyway, barely anything in summer. Unfair for the elderly.
-
Daryl Millar (@daryl_millar) reportedDoes anyone else have no Freeview signal for the main channels in West Suffolk / East Anglia? I can get GB News but not much else.

Rich Knight (@bathbadger) reported@RugbyBath Despite Prem Rugby saying it's ITV4, The Freeview planner is saying Chiefs V Sarries - i'd ask Prem Rugby, but they never reply!
-
Voyeur (@LeVoyeur72) reported@the_saffman @TheDoctorMagic @AlanJLSmith Not any more. However, BBC World Service is available in the UK on Freeview, so it's not as if you're paying for something you can't listen to, unlike when it was funded through taxation. Plus cable and satellite operators abroad also pay to carry it.

IronWorks1990 (@IronWorks1990) reported@dskiuk2 @Danrocsky76 @cordbusters I went Paris last year and our tv where we stayed was through through aerial, 50 odd channels and every single one of the was HD. Freeview now is terrible in 2026, full of shovelware channels and hardly any HD channels, SD channels look awful as well.

GSG2590 (@gsg2590) reported@JoshCF_ They're a joke now, two years ago the deal was Β£45 with basic freeview and Sky Q and now it's Β£63. They've also ended customer support on here and UK based customer calls. The app regularly messes up now, doesn't recognise you've paid and you end up getting charged again π

Kerguelen (@Aramith147) reported@itsGower @FionaMc79461755 @bosdovja92 Yes you do!!! absolutely need a TV licence to watch or record live TV on any channel or service, including Sky TV, Virgin Media, Amazon Prime Video, ITV, Channel 4, or free-to-air channels on Freeview or Freesat.

Sam (@samazas) reported@rizzles066 @NotFarLeftAtAll Water and tv bills are the different things. This outdated laws about tv license are causing all those problems. Nowadays not many people still watch BBC or other freeview chanel. People browsing on the internet for news or watching YouTubeβ¦
