    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

    @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 .

  • Busterdayoge Booboo (@Busterdayoge) reported

    @MarkSteynOnline @Mikenotsoyeadon @GBNEWS Not working on freeview anymore

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    Ahead of BBC Four HD and CBeebies HD moving Freeview multiplexes later this month, two new Service IDs - 18046 for BBC Four HD and 18176 for CBeebies HD have popped up on mux PSB3/BBC-B. Freeview users will soon be invited to retune their TV and/or boxes, likely 3rd week of June.

    @TheWalkindude77 @maesy5 It’s bad enough my interstate membership no longer gives me access to non-freeview matches … Dees rarely play in NSW so if I want to attend a game I have to PLAN!

  • SJW5678 Sam (@SJW5678) reported

    @netgemtv No AV button to select input, sound is poor PVR service only 1 tuner, it causes problems, this box has neat TV guide but the rest is so behind the times. gets red hot, the ITV hub app is the old version, recordings often fail. just a revamp of freeview play channel 100

  • SturdyWendy Wend (@SturdyWendy) reported

    @aldetect @GBNEWS Live streaming seems down but radio is working. Or freeview etc

  • 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. ☹

  • LordWobbly Lord Wobbly 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@LordWobbly) reported

    @fmdiscr @BeckettUnite It should never have been temporary though. Many people need that money desperately. The jubilee nonsense (and its extraordinary cost) was completely unnecessary and could've easily been dealt with as a one off event at Westminster Abbey, televised on a single freeview channel.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @BradTRC @a516digital Someone at work I know got fed up with the faffing about with freeview, looked into getting sky glass. Problem was his broadband provider was very unreliable after several goes to get glass working. He was about to give up. Until it was suggested changing the provider.

  • AndyGraysdouble Robert Martin (@AndyGraysdouble) reported

    @PhantomPower14 Good. Decent technique on freeview. Anyone seeking masochistic pleasure out of watching crap football has to pay up. Just as it should be.
