    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.

    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

  • gemariewilliams Gemma Williams (@gemariewilliams) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice just plugged in our new freeview box, only 40 odd channels appearing out of the expected 139 for our area - can you help?

  • pcttons fugitive era ☼ (@pcttons) reported

    sunshine on leith with george mackay in it is such a terrible musical movie but if it’s on the freeview tv guide i’ll watch it 😭

  • weedgies Framob (@weedgies) reported

    @PaulbernalUK Ask who funds it,my last check was 11 EU nations,US & Canada as well as UK if stupid enough to buy subscription that is free bc they have a license, so on Freeview,

  • Katet282 Kate T (@Katet282) reported

    @NationalTheatre with our signal so bad for Sky Arts on Freeview channel11, such a shame you couldn’t broadcast on National Theatre at Home for your avid subscribers too. I’ve given up - too pixelated and jumpy for me to listen any longer 💔

  • LincolnRamirez Rob Atkinson (@LincolnRamirez) reported

    @LoosestThe @Womens6Nations @BBCplayerr 601 on freeview, if red button doesn't work

  • DJLujoso DJ Lujoso (@DJLujoso) reported

    I've seen no news about any protest In any part of the UK by any of the mainstream 'news' providers on Freeview. There's a lot of the usual gun-totin' **** from the USA, **** knows why we have to watch that, the usual corporate sport garbage - we know why we have to watch that...

  • DaveyBoi73 Dave ♿️ Esq (@DaveyBoi73) reported

    @MarkBlackmore33 @StuartYoung001 @RealPaulMartin I only have the virgin media version of freeview so it's not worth me asking for the new box. If I could find a great stable streaming service for free then I would get rid of the VM TV.

    @sunrayswench 601 freeview or sign in to iplayer

  • stinky_mitten Nightshift (@stinky_mitten) reported

    @LongCjlsackley1 I have Sky broadband & have very few problems. I got rid of Sky TV & now have Freeview. I also have Netflix & Amazon Prime but not all Progs even old stuff is free on Amazon.
