    @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.

  • 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)

  • 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.

    @a516digital Oh that's interesting. I wonder why I couldn't get it to work. In any case, services like Ketchup's Freeview-play compatible service seem to be the way forward now.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @gsvalentine @steveboswell I've also seen TVs that won't support MHEG Text in Freeview Play mode, but happily show it when connected to a satellite feed. (2/2)

  • SnaggleTop James Smith (@SnaggleTop) reported

    @SonyUK What's wrong with the Freeview EPG data on old BRAVIA TVs? When I go to set reminder it says "This event data is invalid", this issue started on Jan 1st, please fix it.

  • little_mavis Mary Wombat 🐝 (@little_mavis) reported

    @miss_mcinerney The govt could have negotiated access to a Freeview channel for their beloved Oak & sidestepped at least some of the issues with internet access

  • cakey12 bakerbird  (@cakey12) reported

    @4Viewers It was yesterday when broadcast on Freeview. Sound quality awful it was so quite.

  • DanielCreminUK Daniel Cremin ✂️ (@DanielCreminUK) reported

    @mistylou43 News UK TV is said to be an evening time only service. My understanding is it will be on Freeview, Sky, Virgin and YouTube, etc. Free to air, but advertising based. GB News will be either 18 or 24 hours and will similarly be cross platform. Real choice is coming.

  • ukdtt UK Terrestrial TV (@ukdtt) reported

    Channel 99, Manchester TV, has been added to @ManchesterTVNet (was unlisted [Service 0x76c1]) #Freeview

  • AmateurInvest15 Amateur Investor (@AmateurInvest15) reported

    @RogersWork @binarybits @timtimothyboom Believe it or not here in the UK we only had 4 free to air channels for most of my childhood. Since digital we also get 30ish freeview channels, but they are largely crap. Most people pay for something on top, Netflix, Sky, Virgin etc...

  • Bad_cyclist 💧Jeepman🔥🚗 (@Bad_cyclist) reported

    @abc730 So ABC have renounced news in favour of divisive opinions on what people want. I’m thankful Twitter allows me to avoid the need to wade through the Freeview crap passed off as news.

  • Jpofgwynedd Jeremiah Savant 🕯️ 🦠 (@Jpofgwynedd) reported

    @mattprescott @OakNational Someone may have mentioned it, but not all Freeview channels are available everywhere: either the network will need a massive boost, or certain universally received stations will need to be co-opted during school hours.
