    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.

    Because I don't have sky or Netflix or prime or any of that **** I'm always about 5 years behind hype TV shows and then only the ones that eventually turn up on Freeview. It's quite restful in a way, I don't get drawn into endless twitter ingroup references. Lovely.

    "I'm Alright Jack" is on C 81 Freeview at 2100 If you have never watched it--take a look !!

  • pauljholden PJ Holden (@pauljholden) reported

    in the end dropped the landline (haven't used it in years) and dropped the tv package (we're watching everything either online or catchup or on freeview - which, weirdly, in HD seems to be a better quality). Knocks from 56 (+4 increase) down to £46 (and no increase)

    Paramount Network @ 9 Freeview Ch32 The Running Man Go on, get some Arnie down yer. #TellyChat

  • JoshxReid Josh (@JoshxReid) reported

    Looks like they've quickly cut out that slide on iPlayer and replaced it with a static version of the new downtime slide. Still able to get the 'We're not here right now' on Freeview though

    @Old_Smudger @Richard_K_P @virginmedia Your one ?? Across the country 🙈🙈 the service is sht...how can people use Freeview if they haven't got it..

  • Old_Smudger Martyn (@Old_Smudger) reported

    @Richard_K_P @OldBlueyes @virginmedia That’s unfair quoting facts people 😜 I had the TV outage. It was during the day and could easily use Freeview until it came back. WiFi was fine. Since VM/O2 merger I’ve had my mobile data doubled and broadband increased to 350 from 200 - for free! Roaming announcement also 👍👍

  • Jack_Nelligan Jack Nelligan 🇮🇪 🎅🏻🎄 (@Jack_Nelligan) reported

    Film 4, channel 4 E4 and More4 as well as the plus 1 channels are not showing any program information on the Freeview box. Will this problem be fixed?.
