  • 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)

  • MichaelLeeLewi4 Michael Lee Lewis (@MichaelLeeLewi4) reported from Aberdare, Wales

    @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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

    @markfrommellor @BBCOne Let’s not forget - the viewing figures for Wimbledon - is that just figures for viewing from platforms like Freeview/Sky? If so, how many more watched on iPlayer and services like Red Button? We’ll never know though…

  • steve_hmld steve_hmld (@steve_hmld) reported

    @TogetherukTV And I've tried using other data service based freeview channels eg Yass

  • Hilly7979 Paul (@Hilly7979) reported

    @grandwaz000 @BBCNews They are slowly killing off broadcast tv you are correct just look at the 10 freeview tv channels that are due to be shut down to make way for 5G.

  • AmigaBoing AmigaBoing.net Blog (@AmigaBoing) reported

    @ukdtt @Forces_TV Amazing how many are moaning over the closure of ForcesTV - Do they not realise there are DVD's of almost all the series they watched on that channel? Close Freeview down completely, move to Freesat which will always have more channel capacity anyway, Freeview has become a JOKE

    @anee1a Probably 50% of the foreign films I've seen I saw for the first time on Film4, a Freeview channel lol As long as you're able to read subtitles easily, it shouldn't be a problem. I'm certainly not "cultured", I've just never been put off by subtitles.

  • SequentialX Matt (@SequentialX) reported

    So BBC News HD is no longer on Freeview. Pretty much the only channel I actually watch live. This sucks.

  • dave1966uk dave1966uk 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 (@dave1966uk) reported

    @FreeviewTV Now next to useless. Lost CBS Drama to RealityXtra which is not available now in my area (Dover). Freeview says use Internet - newsflash - not everyone in the countryside has useable Internet. BT quoted me £143,000 .... No mobile signal either.

    @LeoLem54321 @SkyNews You need to be covered by a TV Licence if you watch live TV on any channel or TV service - such as ITV Hub, All 4, YouTube, Sky, Virgin, BT, Freeview, Amazon Prime Video, Now TV - on any device.

  • oliver_shergold Acid 🇺🇦 Mouse (@oliver_shergold) reported

    @Sparkypatrick Yes I saw that, Talk Talk the cheapest, never looked at Plusnet, just walked up to the precinct and set up new account, new contract, fed up with Freeview content so now at least got all the Sky channels plus catch up and record.
