    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.

  • tgemeda22 Tola Gemeda (@tgemeda22) reported

    @oocukkidstv @retromod8 @NionLogos182 I remember there was also iPlayer on Freeview (on my TV at least) from strong memory along with Channel 5's On-Demand service, Demand 5 (now My5).

  • Rivermansky63 Alex M (@Rivermansky63) reported

    @yartsie123 So it becomes a real problem. Stupid freeview

  • techprocess1 🇬🇧 (@techprocess1) reported

    @Gaz_THFC @rnossej If you are in a contract say you want to cancel they will say you will have to pay an exit fee. Say you want to switch to freeview service (£15 a month ) and say you can’t afford to pay for it they should give a £10 discount for £5. Cheaper than the exit fee - that’s what I did

  • KirkyFromMars Kirky (@KirkyFromMars) reported

    @westonfront It has recently been shown on That's TV (Channel 8 Freeview) and after 10 minutes I had had enough. What was funny and perhaps groundbreaking 50 years ago isn't now. Til Death Us Do Part on now and that's terrible now.

    @toyhaul @JeffBezos Hi, Freevee is not Freeview sorry. You would need to contact the platform you use Freevee on for support with this. Thank you, Melissa

  • adebradley Adrian Bradley (@adebradley) reported

    Is it possible that BBC have a better/stronger freeview signal than ITV HD?

  • LittleTed84 Chris Roberts (@LittleTed84) reported

    @ITVXhelp You haven't even managed to launch on You view the Freeview platform, and from your response you don't currently have any plans to do so, which is rather worrying, never mind the missing BritBox content Doc Martin you only have S9 & S10, Britbox has S1 to S10 🤬

  • gunslingerx2011 Beastlordius (@gunslingerx2011) reported

    @TailedFeature I usually just put on their website that im not using freeview and thats about it. It's bit annoying to do it every year, but so far had no issues.
