  • 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

  • KAK_Tweets Krys Cross! Cha Cha Real Smooth (@KAK_Tweets) reported from Treorchy, Wales

    @flickeringflxme I’ve never seen that one myself but somehow my granddad ended up buying it for himself which was made weirder by the fact he only had freeview so didn’t even have Disney Channel. He loved it though

  • oitappin Dan Tappin (@oitappin) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @DooHopper Pick will be an interesting case, no hd an awful picture on Freeview, good slot number but not much heft from Sky to push it.

  • 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

  • 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

    @glastonbury @BBCTwo Or better yet, flick to channel 898 on Freeview, has a classic episode of Paint Drying... doesn't feature any **** music or drugged up hippies.

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @JohnMac87014501 @HXValley Are you in a problem signal area there, John? There is a Freeview helpline. Might be worth chat in case they can help? Freeview advice line on 03456 505050

  • A_MrBenMitchell Ben Mitchell  (@A_MrBenMitchell) reported

    Any good freeview IPTV providers in the UK? My grandparents TV is really slow loading the guide, it takes 10 seconds. Also apps like Netflix and Prime never went above 1080p. Constantly had wifi issues. So we got a firestick …

  • DempseyEN 𝘿𝙀𝙈𝙋𝙎𝙀𝙔 (@DempseyEN) reported

    @tamago2474 Freeview folks be like... Wtf are they talking about

  • king4856 Paul King (@king4856) reported

    @FreeviewTV Great news for those who can get any channels still zero at YO624LE and I read in the paper it could be two months before a signal is relayed from Bilsdale : you at freeview should hang your heads in shame 😡😡😡

  • fifasalty 💙Chris💙salt💙 (@fifasalty) reported

    @RealMickFoley i think one problem is the lack of hardcore matches and an hardcore championship. when you look back all the matches i remember they are covered in blood and death defying stunts. not sure why this is not happening now but again creative writing then aew shown on freeview in uk

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @TherealNihal Think that's bad, tommorow will be 28 days since Teesside lost it's Freeview transmitter. So no sky, no TV. Weirdly got DAB but no FM apart from local radio. It's like being in the Stone age. One positive, mood change is weird, no stress better sleep, easier to get to sleep too.

  • JamiePickles14 Jamie Pickles (@JamiePickles14) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice The problem I am having Is that my New Television Is a Hisense Model which won’t let receive the Freeview even though a new Mast has been put up In Thirsk

  • BendyCuteness Abby Addison (@BendyCuteness) reported

    @Ametyler1 Literally I am so used to doing it all the time but I am feeling like making the change. I will still do free sometimes but no point getting letting people get in freeview get me down x

  • A5h1984 Ashley Dunscombe-Isaac (@A5h1984) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi Anne. Thanks for the input but I don't believe whether or not it's connected to the aerial is the issue here as it's a group of apps that are affected not just the Freeview one. If the Freeview app was opening ok but then saying it needs an update then I would borrow one
