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)

@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

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.

.@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.)

@DooHopper Pick will be an interesting case, no hd an awful picture on Freeview, good slot number but not much heft from Sky to push it.

BBC Four shouldn't be on Freeview channel 9. That's a stupid number, more deserving of one of those crappy ITV stations. BBC Four should be on a proper number, like 12.

@SydneyCityTV ITV has all of its services exclusively in HD on Satellite (I think, please feel free to correct me on this), Virgin Media, again I'm not sure, also surprised to see that only the main channel (ITV1) is HD on Freeview. I have EE TV, the signal works over Wi-Fi,

So during the big Vodafone meltdown yesterday, we had no internet at all (not on my phone either, because it uses Vodafone's network as well). So I had to... watch Freeview with an aerial, to make sure the world did not come to an end. Raising a glass to Freeview today!

@suemonkman29 Freeview has >100 channels. Wireless radios still work. Paper books are still a thing. Popping in to see a disabled neighbour used to be the norm. I'm not convinced the underlying problem has anything to do with money.

Because the board treat us like consumers we should think of the club the same way. As consumers we are paying the price of the full sky package but we're getting the freeview channels. Rodgers is merely the repair man here to fix signal issues. We'll still get freeview once gone

@ofcom If your broadband goes down report it with your mobile. If, like Vodaphone, both go down, use your landline. No. That's on broadband too. Oh well, watch Freeview ... no that's going soon with Freely. Can you see why moving to 100% broadband delivery is not a good idea?
