    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

    @ant_hkuk @GBNEWS Are you with the #Freeview? They have issues all the time don't they? Some people are not getting #GBNews broadcast to them at all, confirmed by @FreeviewAdvice. And I'm sure they dealt with that a few days back you know, the synching issues. What show did you last notice it on?.

    Strange how on FreeView the crap programs don’t have adverts yet those that maybe of interest are riddled with them making you turn over to YouTube

  • Goldflazz1986 Strangeways»here»we»come»🚚 (@Goldflazz1986) reported

    The man who invented Freeview Play has died, a memorial service will take place tomorrow at 10am, it will be repeated an hour later, and also next Wednesday at 12:30 and again on Saturday at 3:45.

    I never even use ITV’s other channels and suspiciously can’t find ITV4 on freeview. But it’s on the ITV hub app. Bah, I don’t care anyway. Got other stuff to do this evening.

    @GBNfans Still not a great picture on my freeview. Don't know if it's their end or just a weak signal but needs to be HD. Something to go up against question time on Thursdays. More variety/presenters...its starting to get a bit "samey" all the time.

  • CWiddowfield_61 Chris Widdowfield (@CWiddowfield_61) reported

    I appear to have lost my #Freeview HD channels from #OliversMount here in #Scarborough. Anyone else have the same issues?

  • Elizabe04647609 Elizabeth (@Elizabe04647609) reported

    @GBNEWS @graydominic4 Unable to receive GB news on 236 on Freeview. Tuned the tv still cannot get 236. Anyone else having this problem?

  • markharbron mark harbron (@markharbron) reported

    @PhilipsCare Hi I'm having problems with the following apps on my 55/oled805 ..BBC iPlayer,all4, my5,and itv hub all won't open but we're working last week also Freeview play as well

  • Statto_74 Andy Rockall (@Statto_74) reported

    I only have Freeview HD but cannot believe the difference in clarity. Have chosen to watch Sweden v Poland which is on ITV 4 in SD it’s crap compared to ITV HD.
