@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.

@FreeviewAdvice @arqiva More disappointed, but I suppose I've got to accept it, after totally cutting the cord. I do have a tech question though. I'm using the Plex Media Server for Freeview, but the supplied EPG by Gracenote is terrible, is there a XML file of the one you use on the Android app

@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

@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.

.@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.)

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)

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

@AyoCaesar Too busy watching GB News (freeview 236). Did you see Ken Livingstone on GB News last week? He reckons we should have stayed in lockdown since March 2020 until we had zero covid, and borrow to support business. You like that, don't you?

@soapachu The fact that they're hogging valuable bandwidth on Freeview will never not infuriate me. In a saner world they'd not exist and Talking Pictures would have the budget and spectrum space to go HD.

@FreeviewAdvice Thanks for all your help, no reply, no dm, no reply on Facebook and completely useless. Worst advice line, worst customer service, worst everything. @OmbudsmanUK can you help with why my street has no freeview and no help to answer why?

@DavidinKent @MerielMyers Those papers never seem to go into much detail about the programmes though like the Radio Times does. I'm not sure if they cover all the Freeview channels or radio.

@skytv why is the Sky Q search so bad. The voice & text search find different content and neither of them seem to be able to find anything on the TV guide that has Christmas in the title. Used to love finding Christmas TV specials on the old Sky Box. Using Freeview box search now

@FreeviewAdvice We've been here a million times Freeview, don't need you to check on coverage when I can tell you I HAVEN'T GOT ANY SIGNAL ie NO COVERAGE. There is no "data protection" policy on display so don't know what nameless "bot" I'm handing over personal data so no house number TS269AS

@_i0n Where you live got reception probs then mate? Like hills blocking a signal? Where I live is a bit of a nightmare. Cos the high channels on Freeview I can't get cos 5G wipes them out.
