  • 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

    @GBNEWS Sad story, but if he already owed £1400 the recent price rises aren't the cause of his problem. He also has a sky TV remote, perhaps switch to freeview as a start.....

  • blogmywiki Ask Me About My Aeropress™️ (@blogmywiki) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV Hi! Has something happened to your signal from Crystal Palace on Freeview? I can’t receive you on channel 82 any more. Retuning didn’t help.

  • JulieSmith2001 Julie Smith (@JulieSmith2001) reported

    @iMultitudes Yes I can only get that channel through the Freeview box which I record on, can’t get it through the normal aerial as the signal is so bad here.

    @Helenmacca @helenamayb @NadineDorries They both make a lot of content these days but channel four already does that Big question is will it become subscription outside the TV licence in which case they will be depriving Freeview viewers of several channels & an online streaming service, hardly fair & worth pushing

  • HurstLlama Hurst Llama (@HurstLlama) reported

    @bedford_colleen I think our TV is 40 something inches, had it a good few years but I've never watched it. Herself, who does watch TV, dumped Sky years ago - not worth the money she said; now uses something called Freeview (?).

  • pilgra01 Alf (@pilgra01) reported

    @GBNEWS Once people cancel the Sky or Virgin or BT tv packages and just watch Freeview - if they are still in poverty maybe some Domestic Science lessons on how to cook from ingredients - easy

  • PaulGrimes1992 Paul Grimes (@PaulGrimes1992) reported

    @GMB I cancelled my Virgin Broadband and went with Three £21 a month for unlimited 5G and a router which if you go away in the UK you can take it with you. Then just use Freeview went from £131 a month down to £19 a month for landline and £21 for broadband and its faster than VM

  • joonloons june lewins (@joonloons) reported

    @basestacking Check Freeview for the terrestrial channels in your area, and retune a couple of times to see if you get more stations. I use a Humax and smart tv so I can record TV programmes, but you should be able to just plug it into your tv. I find non-HD progs get a better signal.

  • julianvallis Julian Vallis (@julianvallis) reported

    Hey @ITV, this is your annual reminder to fix your @itvhub app to play any video at all on a Freeview Play TV (LG). Will uninstall for now.

  • 2_Wheeled_Wolf @2_Wheeled_Wolf 🇪🇺 (@2_Wheeled_Wolf) reported

    @SherlocksSpring don't watch that crap, haven't since Wright did it. New name, same old bigoted **** from #ScourgeOfTheTvChannels who is no longer on my Freeview box. @gnomeicide
