    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.

    @LizBigbird @GBNEWS Same on freeview. It probably won't take long to fix.

  • timrollpickerin Tim Roll-Pickering (@timrollpickerin) reported

    @gatepotter @montie @GBNEWS And the BBC Freeview signal is **** in hot sunny weather.

  • Daria_QT Daria 🇬🇧🇪🇺💙 (@Daria_QT) reported

    @AnnJarvis13 Well done! I'll make sure we never click on it on the freeview box, even by accident.

  • GoodJohn67 John Middleton (@GoodJohn67) reported

    @GBNEWS has just started give it your support Freeview 236

  • AFosterSW5 Andrew Foster (@AFosterSW5) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice @GlobalClarity1 Also having massive Freeview problems today in London SW5 (Earl's Court). BBC is still there plus RT and Al Jazera. Everything is completely scrambled.

  • wubands2 wubands2 (@wubands2) reported

    @montie 1) Make sure your microphone works... 2) we also can hear the production team chatting on the iPad feed..... while Neil Olivers Mike failed.... 3) Freeview 236 sound not in sync with video.... 4) iPad feed is 30seconds behind live, time wrong 50% of time! Not 1 issue..4+

  • MrDVine Dan Vine (@MrDVine) reported

    Remember Andrew Neil's #GBNews launches tonight. You can watch it by finding channel 200and something on your Freeview box, or by asking that elderly uncle who's never invited round for Christmas what he thinks of all this kneeling at the football. Either way, it's the same.

  • robotmaths RobotMaths (@robotmaths) reported

    Oh dear. GB News is having problems with their microphones. (cheap jibe: they appear to be working). No, Neil Oliver faded out mid gammon diatribe. Most of all, everyone looks REALLY embarrassed to be there. They keep referring to "mainstream media" as if they weren't on FREEVIEW

  • Endoxa66 Endoxa (@Endoxa66) reported

    @GBNEWS just watching the launch on Freeview. Picture quality awful and dialogue out of sync. Not a great first impression. Come on, up your game!

  • adejacobsdj ▶️Ade Jacobs◀️ 📻 (@adejacobsdj) reported

    Andrrew Neil looks like he is streaming on You Tube at 360p watching via Freeview! #GBNews the picture quality is awful
