    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

    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.

    FreeView is the most pointless load of crap ever.

  • WearsideWorrier Christopher Beard (@WearsideWorrier) reported

    @Forces_TV rapidly becoming one of the best channels on TV but alas it's no longer showing on the BT box because of weak signal in the Sunderland area so cannot watch, or record anything for catch-up later. Is this a transmitter issue? @bt_uk Still getting it via Freeview on TV

  • JayThomasWAFC Jonathan (@JayThomasWAFC) reported

    @BazakeMedia @TreborRhurbarb He was watching the game on Freeview and not a subscription service. These people are leeches on society so need to be dissolved in salt.

  • EFCxMorgan Morg (@EFCxMorgan) reported

    @lemonchlo Me = poor = only has freeview

  • TomSingleton4 Tom 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌻 (@TomSingleton4) reported

    I’ve rescanned FreeView 10 times already this evening and keep getting 23 channels. The last time I rescanned was before Christmas last year and managed to over 100 channels. Sort your crap out FreeView!

    @SkyHelpTeam Hi guys, had Sky Q installed on Monday. Main TV is fine however have no Freeview reception on any other television in the house Please help

  • BobbyLow_ BOBBY ⚒ (@BobbyLow_) reported

    @Chris29Cunningh Are you watching it on freeview?. Yeah it’s bad, but ok on sky or the app.

  • timinbrum TimInBrum (@timinbrum) reported

    @cybergibbons I plug my freeview pvr into the aerial and network, TV is used as a screen.

  • VikShah Vik (yeah, that one) 💙 (@VikShah) reported

    @timglanfield Very much depends on the price of the service and whether there's anything else on the channel to justify it. If it was included with Prime or Netflix then yes, but maybe not if it's on something naff like BritBox. I'd rather it went to a Freeview channel such as E4.

    I got my current TV 2 years ago and having no Internet this morning I've just had to learn how to navigate the regular TV side of it instead of streaming. The selection of stuff on offer is shockingly bad on Freeview. 😱 At least I can still listen to @KerrangRadio! 🤘
