    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)

  • 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

    @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.

  • trashbagorange Chris Orange (@trashbagorange) reported

  • ReecePorter06 Reece 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇧🇧 (@ReecePorter06) reported

    i hope they never make it so sky or bt etc purchase European tournaments and don’t make them freeview cuz it’s so good how the whole country is on it

  • DT100 Craig Williams (@DT100) reported

    GB News is like one of those local channel 7 Freeview stations. Awful sound, cameras out of focus, and pretty sure one of the cameras is in 25p rather than 50i. I was involved in the launch of a TV channel, and we nailed it from day one. And as for the content…! #gbnews

  • DrewDavies68 Drew Davies ™ (@DrewDavies68) reported

    @BorisJohnson_MP I just switched on GBnews on freeview and Neils mouth is out of sync with his voice. Microphones not working. And a set that looks like a portacabin toilet. Well that’s a good start. It’s antiques road show for me

  • ByrneBarry Barry Byrne (@ByrneBarry) reported

    @At7dwarfs Not experiencing any problem like that. Set up a re tune on Freeview, should only take a few mins.
