.@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.)

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

@kieranjameen Kieran cancel it, my sister did with hers and hasn't missed it, you can buy internet freeview boxes now and you can download all the apps onto them, no monthly payments then, just for what you choose to, much cheaper

@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.

@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

Why is the BBC World Service so hard to obtain EXCEPT in the one area which is explicitly not the target audience? In the UK the World Service is available 24/7 on DAB and I think Freeview and Freesat/Sky.

@flickeringflxme I’ve never seen that one myself but somehow my granddad ended up buying it for himself which was made weirder by the fact he only had freeview so didn’t even have Disney Channel. He loved it though

@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.

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)

@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

@FreeviewAdvice Receiving message on a black screen stating 'To view this service please connect your device to the internet' on 103 ITV HD and 104 C4 HD after 10pm on freeview TV. Clears by morning. What's going on as it seems to be happening to loads of people?

@TalkTalk my elderly mother is having issues with her TalkTalk freeview box which she has had for approximately 5 years. How do we get it replaced for a newer version? Please help as she relies on tv. Symptoms are when changing the channel screen goes blank and box needs a reboot

(@IMTobybrown) reported
@JeremyVineOn5 The BBC is a fantastic organization. The problem with finding a future funding model is that there aren't many other ways to fund it. For example You can't do subscription because freeview and radio don't have conditional access technology on them

This is driving me mad, can anyone help? I've a HUMAX freeview recorder to record commercial TV so I don't have to watch all the adverts on catchup or pay not to! When it's recording something, the picture on another channel fills my TV screen (43") but when it isn't, it doesn't?

@HLTCO When I was at uni, I had a freeview box or something and it had Sky Sports News. **** it was repetitive, but it was on all day in my room.

Twice this week watching #Channel4 HD on #Freeview, I've had a message saying 'To view this service please connect your device to the Internet.' Lasts an hour, then normal service resumes. Why? This has never happened before. Explanation please.
