  • 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.

    @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

    @WeAreSTV Can someone advise me how I can create a STV freeview account. The website only seems to allow account holders to login but not register.

  • JasonFlavell Jase 🎢 (@JasonFlavell) reported

    @timpez123 It can be, it entirely depends on your Wi-Fi, it relies on that entirely, if your wife is down the TV is pretty much defunct apart from if you have an arial in it for free view. Same applies if you cancel the sky subscription, the TV is basically a dead tv other than freeview

  • MrZackwood Zack, Zack & Zack (@MrZackwood) reported

    ITV down on freeview for anyone else?
