Simon ๐ฅ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ (@uncriticalsimon) reported from Newport, Wales.@Freeview question - how come the PSB muxes arenโt treated equally? The BBC one and the HD one seem to have a much better signal from Wenvoe than the โnormalโ ITV one. (I can get Mendip off a random bit of metal.)
-
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 ๐ค (@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.

It remains on Freeview (for now) but is said to be suffering financial problems.

CharlesWynfordLodge (@2hrTV) reported@CountMoriarty @dave43law Yeah its stupid. What is the positive of switching it off? Everyone would need a fire stick type of thing and apps to watch channels. They're rubbish. There's often delay/time lag and no full access to all Freeview channels. Freeview is better

David Carroll (@DavidCarrollIr1) reportedIf you are a born-again Christian but have no church to go to, try watching the SonLife Broadcasting Network (SBN) on the United Kingdom's Freeview 94. It is also available 24/7 online, and on the radio in the USA. It is sound teaching, services, and worship.

Blake (@BlakeAntcliff) reported@SheLovesTweets @theipaper Freely TV's are the same as Freeview and Freesat, the problem is Internet only doesn't take into account people who live in blackspots and barely get anything much better than old school dial up. Nor does it account for anyone who doesn't want/have broadband.

Matt Quinn - The Caledonian Television Company. (@Matt_Q_OnX) reported@BENEFITS_NEWS Well for a start the Freeview service is guaranteed until at least 2034 and likely to be phased out over a period of time; unlikely before about 2040. 'Freely' is currently being touted as the IPTV replacement - From about ยฃ70 for a set-top box; this price will drop dramatically.

Tony Quintus ๐ฌ๐ง ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ (@MisterQuintus) reported@DanielJHannan Now explain how you make BROADCAST TELEVISION a subscription service without a technology change on the scale of the move to freeview.

Kev Smith ๐ฎ๐ช (@KevSmithTyrone) reported@reece_dinsdale We never missed an episode growing up and still watch it now when it's on Freeview.

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.
