    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

  • IanCleverly06 Ian Cleverly (@IanCleverly06) reported from Trethomas, Wales

    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.

    @TalkTalk Please can someone tell me why all of my Freeview channels are gone. Was on chat but then closed down before it was fixed!

    @Bbmorg I support no license thereby giving choice for those who want to watch the other Freeview channels but not BBC the right and freedom to do so. In an age of thousands of channels,& streaming,a license should not forced. I hold the same view regardless of which party is in Govt.

    @FreeviewAdvice Can you confirm if any works are affecting LL30 2SY (Llandundo)? Freeview showing no signal intermittently last couple if days, then completely off yesterday about 4pm. Still no return!!@

  • Prof_Nostalgia Prof Nostalgia (@Prof_Nostalgia) reported

    @isykes79 @FreeviewAdvice Freeview can't do anything but report on Arquiva's progress, who have hit a view legal snags along the way. We, as far down as Filey, will be the last to see a good signal. This area is notoriously bad for TV reception so we've gone for Freesat.

  • simonphoward Simon Howard (@simonphoward) reported

    @bt_uk I know, but why would I pay you for Freeview Channels! Hard bundling TV with Broadband to get me to sign for 2 more years. BT broadband is poor & my area is just getting new providers with Fibre to the house. This feels like anticompetitive practice using your TV @CMAgovUK

  • DaveAMarsh David Marsh (@DaveAMarsh) reported

    Anyone else in Sheffield got a complete @freeviewtv outage since last week? #freeview

  • alfaguru St Scandalbags (@alfaguru) reported

    @tubbsmcguire @SteveDoherty1 By "it" I meant Freeview, not an aerial. If you don't have an aerial there are indoor ones that work fine as long as you are in a good signal area.

    @KnightonJ Hi Jake. I'd suggest speaking with the manufacturer. My TV at home (Hisense) has no problems and if it does usually unplugging it for 60 seconds does the trick. If no quick tricks make a lasting fix to Freeview Play, speak with the manufacturer of the TV. Thanks, Fin

    @SpillerOfTea Is it going to the like the Birdsong channel on Freeview that actually got lots of viewers, but only *after* it closed down?
