  • 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

  • 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)

    WTF! Anyone else lost ITV, C4 and C5 on Freeview? Just rescanned the digibox when prompted and they've ****** off (technical term). Box now defaulting to BBC3 on channel 23.

  • KeithCP2 Keith Pates (@KeithCP2) reported

    @IMPACTWRESTLING I used to watch it, but they deserted freeview and went pay per view, never mind I enjoy watching AEW on Freeview lots of Impact Wrestlers have gone there like Hardy for one big name, and there are others including Women

  • a4e_abc Kerrpunk🍊🍊🍊💙 🤡🇬🇧 (@a4e_abc) reported

    @DrewLawDesign A few saying Everett, I liked him in the 70s as a kid but I watched it the other week on Freeview and it was cringy as **** really really ****. Best left of n the 70s I think. Anyway has to be Ken Loach.

    @BbcBring Bollocks! Not in HD on my dog end of a @Freeview service.

  • Dezos1984 Derek Liddle (@Dezos1984) reported

    .@ITV4 I get ITV4 through Freeview and, for a couple of days now, the signal has been very poor, with visual and audio break-up. I’ve re-tuned the TV, but this hasn’t helped. Any ideas on what is causing this?

  • StevenNT Steven Jones (@StevenNT) reported

    @runrigok @ukdtt Yea as LG TV's of a certain age are Freeview Play complaint so have the HbbTV support as well

  • DoctaP2 Pazzle Ron Cupboard (@DoctaP2) reported

    @simontucker1979 My parents eventually paid to have a booster aerial put in, just to try and pick up channel 4. Cost like a hundred quid and the signal was pretty patchy but it worked just about, wasn't that much longer before they started broadcasting it anyway tho I think, maybe Freeview time.

  • janehartwell Jane Hartwell (@janehartwell) reported

    @virginmedia I got through eventually but now I have a new problem!! Loads of channels have disappeared. There should be no changes to my package. I’m effectively paying Virgin to supply me with Freeview! What’s going on?

  • iMcWarner Jay (@iMcWarner) reported

    @virginmedia @SkyUK Virgin media up your game, 20 minutes queuing to speak to customer service about a price improvement, offered another 18 month contract with less services than I have for £60pm and most of the TV is on freesat/freeview. Sky do more for £45pm, You can do better
