    .@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 β€œnormal” ITV one. (I can get Mendip off a random bit of metal.)

    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)

    @BBCNewsEnts Why not do things the other way around? Give Netflix a broadcast platform on Freeview and a Sky Digital subscription channel? This would help to fund traditional terrestrial and satellite broadcasting.

    Freeview issues in Guildford and surrounding areas been happening more and more. Lost all channels but BBC and Itv and E4 the rest say no signal. Housebound fun times.

    @talkRADIO @calvinrobinson @PatrickChristys As I understand it, the argument is that because of poor broadband the BBC can’t move to a Netflix like service at this time. But it could be a subscription platform on Freeview - they already exist. It doesn’t need to be on broadband to be a subscription service.

    @Hamnett_Time ... to strive to support all UK catch-up services as soon as possible. Freeview Play will be on our 2021 models, which are launching over the next month or so :) (3/3)

    Ever noticed how these long adverts for mattresses you get on freeview the people never put any undersheets, covers, blankets or duvets on the bed? They just sleep, fully dressed, directly on top of their new mattress??
