    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)

    @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.

    @Thomoli @PhilipsCare_UK I’ve been waiting 8 weeks for same issue not worked for me since I bought my TV. I dont have an aeriel tho just satellite cable connected & internet but no catch up aps work or freeview

  • 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.

  • uncriticalsimon Simon 🥑🚟🚅😈💉💉💉 (@uncriticalsimon) reported from Newport, Wales

    .@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.)

  • GeorgeBaldwin14 George Baldwin (@GeorgeBaldwin14) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    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

  • DaveBStDW Dave Bowden (@DaveBStDW) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @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

  • WombleReturns Womble Returns💙 (@WombleReturns) reported

    @IPhillips79 Reminds me of some of the really awful Hot Gossip routines from the Kenny Everett Video Show (on repeat on Freeview #7 these days)

  • ChrisWelsted Chris Welsted (@ChrisWelsted) reported

  • YDraigGoch10 Andy Morgan 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@YDraigGoch10) reported from Southampton, England

    @cefinroberts I've seen better garbage on Freeview channels, like Dave....

  • canispeaktodave canispeaktodave (@canispeaktodave) reported

    The bitrate of ITV4 on Freeview is so bad the feed must be being streamed from a 56k modem.

  • theprivateroryg ruairí 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈 (@theprivateroryg) reported

    lost all the tv channels and freeview isn't answering my calls help meeeee

  • TomMaxwell11 Tom Maxwell (@TomMaxwell11) reported

    @AnnalisaB Don't confine yourself to new crap Christmas films, Annalisa -check out 'Great Movies Christmas' at Channel 52 on Freeview, which usually starts its Christmas season in early November. There's enough Christmas dross on there, 24 hours a day, to last you two braindead lifetimes!😳

  • LockpickMind LockpickMind 🆓 (@LockpickMind) reported

    @Raymond82310289 Time to send that **** back, people... use freeview and online streaming services that you can stomach using.

  • manps_singh Manpreet Singh (@manps_singh) reported

    Chisora Fury robbed the public, that should have been freeview. Who would pay PPV for this terrible fight
