    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.

    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

    @BradTRC @a516digital My quick fix to freeview is use freesat it has exactly the same channels as freeview, plus extras as bonus.

  • Busterdayoge Booboo (@Busterdayoge) reported

    @MarkSteynOnline @Mikenotsoyeadon @GBNEWS Not working on freeview anymore

  • jayandee48 jand (@jayandee48) reported

    @FreeviewTV I will never pay for tv so will always have freeview. But PLEASE sort your tv guide out - it's so hard to read. ☹

    @RastusMk2 I only have Freeview TV Never anything worthwhile to watch any day of the week

    @JBridge05565695 Hi there, I'm sorry to read you've not been able to view our channels. If you can try and re-tune your freeview box; hopefully this'll fix it for you. Stacey x

    @Mike_Fabricant Too busy slagging off @BorisJohnson to report real news . Thankfully we have Aljazeera News on freeview as we would never easily find out what is going on in the world and how it affects us here at home from BBC/SKY non news channels.

  • BradTRC BradTRC (@BradTRC) reported

    @Mark56623345 @a516digital Last time I used Freeview religiously was in 2015 - as we used it alongside Sky due to bad weather. Now due to upgrades in Sky’s technology, particularly Q, there is no point for me. The only time I would use Freeview is if my Mini boxes went down, and that fixes itself quickly!

  • TheBlueUlysses Katy (@TheBlueUlysses) reported

    @JenOnTheMoveUK @PaulWhitewick @All4 Similarly I found it hard to watch ITV4 live, not-on-freeview. Which is crap for the resolution.

    @Saraita101 Linear TV - and Radio, whether from an actual radio or Freeview on a TV - is vital for those easily marginalised, cut-off and lonely. I'm particularly thinking of people in care homes, folds and such-like. As no OO or Twelfth fan, I feel it's a bad decision from @BBCnireland .

    @AngharaDavies @Angharad_78 I had a service for UK freeview TV but didn’t renew this month because it was expensive and kept dropping the connection.
