@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.

.@Freeview question - how come the PSB muxes aren’t treated equally? The BBC one and the HD one seem to have a much better signal from Wenvoe than the “normal” ITV one. (I can get Mendip off a random bit of metal.)

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

@bt_uk Hi Aaron, I am in complete disbelief as to how long this takes to resolve. I don’t care who resolves it & not my problem he’s not in. I’m paying full price for freeview! I demand compensation and a quick resolve as this is just embarrassing for @bt_uk

@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.

@Ange_9_ @darrengrimes_ So you think advertising is going to raise an extra £3.7 billion? The BBC share maintenance of freeview, freeview is the biggest digital platform and you casually say they’ll go subscription, not everyone has a fast reliable broadband service and you’re assuming millions

@skytv Hi, Sky Arts is available on FreeView but I get very poor TV reception. How can I watch it online? I have a TV Licence.

@SimonAnthonySt2 @NewsUK Hi Simon. There is no news as to when this service will be added to Freeview. It may be best to contact NewsUK for this information. Scott.

@darrengrimes_ Blame the government, what is your solution as to how it is funded? Advertising is out as the market is saturated, subscription is out as it’s on freeview

@coster_ray @WonPeople Incidentally the subscription model, as you must know, cannot work with Freeview (the most popular way for the poor and elderly to access television). So they’re a tad screwed aren’t they?

(@EdScottLondon) reported
@paincave1 I don’t worry for the bbc or the government. There are a lot of issues - the license fee is an outdated way of finding it when it is totally impossible to force people. Subs won’t work with Freeview. Only option is directly fund it out of our taxes.

Why does Amazon Prime cut off my tv, comes up telling me I have a Reuter problem when I'm now on Freeview ch 23 Dave ja vu? Rick Stein. (Oh, I'm Not on internet a year now, or its tv. A too costly scam! Now Use 4G.)

@YesterdayTweets Who cares. Freeview is just a joke now. Having to retune every other month is causing great problems for the elderly.

@sgordon_the87 DIdn't realise the BBC News channel took such a high place on Freeview. I thought it was lower down in the "rankings"
