@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

.@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.)

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

@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.

Why is the BBC World Service so hard to obtain EXCEPT in the one area which is explicitly not the target audience? In the UK the World Service is available 24/7 on DAB and I think Freeview and Freesat/Sky.

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)

@belperite Hi. Good question. The satellite feed is broadcast in DVB-S. It has to be converted into a DVB-T multiplex using a modulator so that Freeview devices can receive it. The solution for ITV/C4 and C5 means they can use a similar system to that used in hotels and ships, no encoder.

Another hotel, another auto tune of the TV to get an up to date Freeview channel list. I should charge for this service.

@JeremyVineOn5 A paedetrician on GB News (freeview 236) last week said higher chance of under 18s dying of heart problems following jab than dying of Covid. If they’ve already had covid the chance of dying after jab even greater
