    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.

  • uncriticalsimon Simon 🥑🚟🚅😈💉💉💉 (@uncriticalsimon) reported from Newport, Wales

    .@Freeview question - how come the PSB muxes aren’t treated equally? The BBC one and the HD one seem to have a much better signal from Wenvoe than the “normal” ITV one. (I can get Mendip off a random bit of metal.)

  • 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

  • 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.

  • joolsreevey julia (@joolsreevey) reported

    @Scrippsy48 It's on freeview 716 on the TV if that's any help

  • 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.

  • FrannyJeffers72 FJ72 🇬🇧 (@FrannyJeffers72) reported

    @Joketamsonswean @BertieThompso18 @CraigMurrayOrg The original post from Craig is certainly trying to suggest. If you have an issue with Scotland games being on ViaPlay (I'd much prefer they were on Sky or Freeview TV aswell) then you should really direct your anger towards UEFA and the SFA.

  • odubhda odubhda (@odubhda) reported

    @Al_Hine I don't think that it's on the basic Saorview (Freeview) package, I think you just get the RTE and Virgin Media Channels... and Oireachtas TV! So you will be in trouble if it's BBC you need. But that's always been the case as far as I know since the switchover. No C4 either.
