    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)

    @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.

  • DaveBStDW Dave Bowden (@DaveBStDW) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @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

  • 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.

    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

    Poor Freeview reception here this morning, especially on BBC channels. Atmospheric conditions?

    @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

  • damoxl Damo (@damoxl) reported

    @Mark_P0x0n @LucyMPowell But I might want to watch something on freeview that requires adverts & a properly costed budget to fund (not BBC) So why should I pay for the BBC when their model is at best a tax on live TV of any sort? This is where the BBC falls down in the modern era, it's simply outdated

  • peb1986 Paul Byatt (@peb1986) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam how do I cancel my sky box that I only have for freeview so I can get a new box as this one is no longer working

  • potter2207 Stokie'73 🇺🇦 🔴⚪️🔴⚪️ (@potter2207) reported

    @ignorami @LeeAndersonMP_ @lucyfrazermp UTTER CRAP!!! If you watch ITV you have to pay it. If you watch Chanel 4, 5, or any of the other 100's of freeview channels, you have to pay it. If you watch Sky you have to pay it. Educate yourself.

  • MattGunner32 Matt Gunner (@MattGunner32) reported

    @JVCSmartHome I have a LT-40CF890. TV is only operating via the apps and Wifi. Press any of the channel numbers and it comes up, but screen is blank and no sound. If I press Live TV button, it just shows Freeview and buffering. Tried unplugging TV but problem persists.

  • bakeliteguy Guy Roberts (@bakeliteguy) reported

    @Jan_208 It really does! I have no problem watching 405 line black and white especially with vintage content. The freeview box it is attached to seems to be stuck on @TalkingPicsTV !

  • jon_winkle Jon 🔜 WASD (@jon_winkle) reported

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

  • GL650_LynneG 🏍Lynne G💙 🚗+📱=💥❌ (@GL650_LynneG) reported

    @RadioNightTrain @benbakerbooks Working OK on an actual 'Wireless' 📻 & Freeview 716 on TV. Don't know if GHR do a catch-up thing, but for a live quiz that probably wouldn't be much help anyway, would it. @RealKenBruce

    Well, sadly an audit of my parents radiograms has proved fruitless... none of their units seem to support my favourite station. However, instead I managed to find them " that's 60s ", on their Freeview TV. It has thrown up some absolute gems, the three of us are singing away.
