    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

  • 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.

    @AndyJ147 @q_bettor I think it's a different audience. BBC aim itself at a more casual fan, Eurosport at somebody who is going to be watching all year round. I do sometimes put the BBC coverage on when it's on though, just to support snooker on Freeview telly. And for a bit of variety.

    Benny Hill's back on UK #Freeview I'm not offended by him, and it's nothing to do with being 'woke', but just don't find him funny. It's bad enough having his alter-ego Boris Johnson squatting at Westminster. He also performs long, boring & unfunny comedy skits, just like Hill.

  • Golf_5_TM Tim H (G5TM) (@Golf_5_TM) reported

    BTW re: my earlier poll re: TVI.. please share I’d like votes and responses on this. It seems like it’s all bands causing issue but ONLY on satellite and DAB!?? Not freeview. I’m sure both satellite and DAB are linked to their rf distributor in the attic.

    @FreeviewTV @FreeviewAdvice cont. So I have to select London region with bad reception to enable me to select series to record without the duplication eg 103 & 803 for an ITV series recording. BT says this is a Freeview upgrade.

  • Dragon2611 Matthew (@Dragon2611) reported

    Well thats weird, plugged a sat feed into an androidTV to see if it's inbuilt sat support is any good, (Only sat comes in where the tv is) it seems to have mapped the channels to the freeview EPG.

    And it think it’s terrible that the other home nations can watch their team on Freeview, yet if the Scots want to see one of the best Scottish teams ever, they have to fork out for a sky sports subscription. Sort this out and get the games on the BBC or STV @ScottishFA

  • Bill_Hogarth William Hogarth (@Bill_Hogarth) reported

    @gbnews Why is the frame rate on your Freeview transmission so slow? I've also noticed the sound and vision are often out of sync. Are you transmitting at a reduced bitrate?

  • trimbuz Andy😎 (@trimbuz) reported

    Dear @HumaxUK I can't get the Freeview YouTube app to open on my 4000T. Tried everything, no software update. Please help, thanks 👍

  • MattyMcManus95 Matthew McManus (@MattyMcManus95) reported

    @bt_uk getting little to no signal on many channels on bt tv I’m currently on my 2nd tv box. It’s not my Aerial as I’m getting freeview on my tv just fine when I plug it in. Any solution?? My 1st box began to do this 3 months in and I was told the box was faulty now same issue

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    @a516digital From what I've seen of local TV while staying in York this trash needs booting down to the end of the Freeview guide to a 9x position. Sky Arts is far more deserving of that position if BBC 3 can't have it.
