    @DooHopper Pick will be an interesting case, no hd an awful picture on Freeview, good slot number but not much heft from Sky to push it.

  • 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)

    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.

    @ANeighboursFan @CiTyFoLkFeRaL *Freevee not Freeview, damn autocorrect is going to be doing that a lot over the next few months I imagine.

  • peterdavid1953 Peter1953 (@peterdavid1953) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi, can you please help. I can no longer get Freeview Play on my LG smart TV. When I switch to Channel 100 all I get is Data Only screen. I have tried retuning the TV and following LG advice and still no Freeview Play. Signal strength test was done with no problem

  • Matt3590 Matthew Henderson (@Matt3590) reported

    @Jimboblue6 Call them and tell them you want to cancel your license as you only stream programming, nothing live inc. Freeview. Get rid of all aerials. They'll check in once in a while to confirm your still not watching live tv.

  • 3_monk Monkenstien. (@3_monk) reported

    @whippletom Same here, 15yr customer whom they think that if they make some of my FreeView channels HD I am on a good TV deal I am sure it is 2022 where HD should be standard not a bonus.

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    @danmooreradio @a516digital On Freeview bandwidth is an issue. But also still a fair number of SD only boxes out there.

  • lynne_drummond Lynne Drummond 💙 (@lynne_drummond) reported

    @fliceverett My first TV was a cast off of my Grandma which was B&W and for many years had a dodgy tube so that peoples feet appeared above their heads. I bought my second TV ( colour) from Boots in 1984 and only bought my current one because I was having problems with the Freeview box !

  • Jon_Chui_Rapley Jon Chui-Rapley 🇪🇺🛶🏎🏞🦥 (@Jon_Chui_Rapley) reported

    Why does Pop (Freeview 206) broadcast at night? Who'd be watching? Wouldn't it be better to run the signal on another channel for non-kid's TV at night?

  • ahappystitcher Sally-Jane 💙💛🌻 (@ahappystitcher) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice @aj2squared @MattCainWriter We have 4 tvs. 2 running off 2 feeds and 2 running off a different feed. All feeds are from the same aerial and the 3 tvs with working Internal freeview boxes are getting zero signal, so think the problem is at or below our aerial.
