  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

    @elovabloke Hey Jeff 👋 You can plug an Aerial into the back to gain access to freeview when the internet is down, or plug a device into it through the HDMI slots to use. Thanks, Ross.

  • feckingpsycho Ted with TM (that's Transverse Myelitis) (@feckingpsycho) reported

    @WasDaveOnce @SeasideChris It went straight off! Never seen Bad Neighbours but it was a limited choice on Freeview! Quite funny in a couple of places but still better than the usual dross they kick out on Saturdays and, like you, what's the f'ing point...🤬

  • mpr147 Michael Rogers (@mpr147) reported

    @pablomcfc83 @bt_uk Agree mate. We pay extra for Now TV but the internet hardly ever works for us to access it. We just wrote that off but some days we can’t even watch the basic freeview channels as we ‘can’t get a signal’. We’ve learnt from our mistakes. We will go back to Sky asap.

    @UKTVPlay I seem to have narrowed down the problem of series links not moving onto the next episode. It's only when I dial up a program from the Freeview play listings If I watch an episode direct on the app it plays the next episode just fine. #freeviewPlay error.

  • fitzylyn Lyn Fitzgerald (@fitzylyn) reported

    @FreeviewTV Hi I'm having trouble trying to connect to freeview here in the South East..is there a problem?

  • mattdoctorwho74 Matt 💙 (@mattdoctorwho74) reported

    come on @YouViewSupport put the mini guide back freeview play now beating you what idiot thought going back 20 yrs to now and next mini guide all over the screen was a good idea needs be sacked, put it back asap!!!!!

  • OnnaLoves Juliana (@OnnaLoves) reported

    15/ I withdrew my FREEVIEW content that never earned its keep, and essentially cost me a roof over my head. And yes I was bitter that one video accidentally went out for free, as it has cost me bricks that would have been something towards a deposit at least.

  • PlexNetflix Martin Phillp 🔶 (@PlexNetflix) reported

    @boodleoodlesjw Oh right, it's the same thing but through a tv. I thought if you connect an aerial to it that the Freeview tuner kicks in when the net is down?

  • eltomas87 Tom Shaw (@eltomas87) reported

    @Jaack Before sky took sky sports news off freeview I loved my Saturdays playing footy manager on laptop with soccer Saturday on TV! Now I just stream the game I want to watch! If they don't want people to stream make it affordable and bring ticket prices down

    @lq2709 Hahaha I **** you not man. Musn't have been able to find QVC on their Freeview or summit
