  • 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.

  • 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

  • dave_maydew Dave Maydew MW0DCM (@dave_maydew) reported from Tonyrefail, Wales

    @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

  • SteveBN1 Steven Dive CChem MRSC ● #FBPE #FBPA #FBPPR #3.5% (@SteveBN1) reported

    @JoshNeicho @NewlandsIsabel @BrianCathcart The points raised by Stefanovic are serious enough for national media to cover, not just left to a journalist alone. The BBC has a rolling news channel on Freeview that could fit in an entire programme on his points as well as many other important issues not covered elsewhere.

    @LynneKerrUK Freeview is a through aerial service and needs an aerial to view. If you wish to use players these can be accessed using the internet. I'm not aware of any Freeview boxes that can take a SIM card but a hotspot may work. Please check manufacturers details for more information.

    Looks like Chanbel 4 on Freeview has just gone tits-up AGAIN. Damn it, I’ll have to rejoin Virgin at this rate!

  • FatsoTheWombat Fatso (@FatsoTheWombat) reported

    Annoying picture glitch and noise on #frasier on @Channel4 right now (HD and SD freeview). Very annoying. Please fix it.

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    What start to the day, just had TV Licensing officer AGAIN at the door. I've obviously cancelled my dd for the licence as WE HAVE NO FREEVIEW SIGNAL in Teesside haven't had it for 60+ days now, so why would I pay for a service I don't receive, I don't download 1/n

    @E4Tweets what is happening with the actually picture quality of e4 on standard freeview? It so bad the last few weeks? It’s like below SD quality of that was at all possible.

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @Blodeuweddmoon I'm truly not a #defundbbc type but one of their arguments is the harassment by TV license officers when told no TV etc. Now people lie, so appreciate they have to ask. But our region has no FREEVIEW signal hasn't since the 11th August so they should take that into account too

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    @a516digital E4+1 is back on Freeview on the west midlands transmitter at least. Though the picture quality is poor even by Freeview standards though on checking +1 is far better than the standard service. +1 is also missing its DOG.
