  • 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.

  • IanCleverly06 Ian Cleverly (@IanCleverly06) reported from Trethomas, Wales

    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)

  • 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

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi we've got no signal and very few channels that work on our Freeview TV. We've retuned it lots of times and each time we get fewer channels. Now the TV channels don't work at all. We are in the SO area if that helps

    I watched An Inspector Calls last night. Trouble is, it's so good I don't know what to follow up with tonight. Any suggestions? I only have Freeview.

  • DaveJames78 Dave 💙 (@DaveJames78) reported

    @itvhub Why can’t we watch live tv please? Relegated to 8 bit graphics on “normal” tv because the freeview signal is so bad.

  • AndreaRice54 Lady Andrea - GBnewsFan (@AndreaRice54) reported

    I now find that @GBnews Is still live on Freeview but on the @virginmedia box it’s a blank screen. Why do we Brits keep getting such crap service from our utilities maybe they’re too big

  • leighpturner leigh (@leighpturner) reported

    I’m glad the Twitter memes are in glorious HD since ITV 2 isn’t on Freeview, it feels like I’m watching a cam copy of the show the quality is so bad in standard definition #LoveIsland
