    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

  • IanCleverly06 Ian Cleverly (@IanCleverly06) reported from Trethomas, Wales

    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.

    What’s more “event season” than watching Family Guy on Freeview (because none of the other channels have signal) in a Travelodge…

  • Raxor1Robin Robin Taylor (At home 🏡) (@Raxor1Robin) reported

    @JellyTotPixel @bbcmtd It's the signal not the equipment that's causing the problem even with HD freeview this problem still happens in some areas of the UK, where I live you can't get it with a portable HD receiver, I have to use satellite. as Freeview don't work well.

    @stephenblanchar @Susie_Soapsuds Hi, Stephen. Sorry to hear that you're having problems receiving Freeview. If you can DM us your postcode along with the house number or name, we can check coverage in the area and advise from there. Fraser

  • DawsonsLeftPeg Error404 (@DawsonsLeftPeg) reported

    @Elliot_CB @LeeAndersonMP_ No I pay for the things you don’t get with the “free service”. Like the sky compared to freeview. That fact you can’t figure that out shows the level you’re working with. Try harder.

  • LizInSussex liz (@LizInSussex) reported

    @AboutEG 101 still not working for local news, on freeview

  • BBCNorfolk BBC Radio Norfolk (@BBCNorfolk) reported

    Phew! Another *very* close finish, but a win today in Gayton with about 65 seconds to spare! Well done all! Sorry again about the problems on FM - the engineers are working on it. Don't forget you can listen online or on Freeview channel 719.

    Usually use my actual Freeview but think the temperamental weather is causing a few breaking up issues. 🙄😒 Definitely think I'm in a bit of a delay. #BeyondParadise
