    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

  • 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)

  • 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.

    @MarylouiseDarl3 Do you use a Freeview TV or box? And do you use any other TVs or boxes in your house? Do they have the same problem? Fraser

  • ETusty Emma T (@ETusty) reported

    No freeview signal again. So annoying because we can watch online but you have to know which channel you want to go onto.

  • Scott_Sweeney Scott Sweeney (@Scott_Sweeney) reported

    Moved house yday. Panasonic tv that fully worked before and got all freeview channels. Now in the new place only picks up about 10. Cable is fully in, but screen says weak signal when trying to tune. Any ideas how to fix & get them all?

    @MannieMighty1 And yet they will all watch her again next Thursday. I won't complain about her as I never watch her. At least 100 channels on Freeview and my TV has an off button.

    @virginmedia Last I looked, inflation was at 10%, not over 30%. ‘Excellent value for money’ is a claim only customers can make, not you. We mostly watch the BBC and Netflix, so why pay 4 x what Netflix charge when there’s Freeview and iPlayer for a hundred channels that never get watched?

  • daphnewheeler15 Daphne Wheeler (@daphnewheeler15) reported

    @GBNEWS Dear GBNews and Mr Rees-Mogg please can you do something to help you would be followers. We can't all get Freeview 236 channel. Planners wont allow a dish either HELP

    You need to have a webpage showing realtime Freeview problems. It's a huge waste of time trying to guess if Freeview is working in tropo affected parts of the country. @FreeviewAdvice @Ofcom
