  • 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.

  • 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

  • JBlairSco James Blair FRSA (@JBlairSco) reported

    @Gwyn_Dr @eddsirr @S4C So why doesn’t S4C have a backup link as a priority to the network? Regardless they were off the air to freeview the most watched platform for the channel!

  • Gwyn_Dr Gwyn Williams (@Gwyn_Dr) reported

    @JBlairSco @eddsirr @S4C Sky, Freesat, Vigin, S4C Clic and BBC iPlayer are unaffected. The issue only relates to Freeview

  • Woody4563 Aaron Nicholas-Wood (@Woody4563) reported

    @BestDrWho @Telegraph And the British public are paying for this. The BBC are the worst channels on so called freeview.

  • lanyon_mark Mark Lanyon (@lanyon_mark) reported

    @NadineDorries I hope you are going to hold a public enquiry in to the lack of an emergency plan for the state broadcaster Channel 4. The channel is still down on Freeview HD after several hours, other broadcasters have been able to recover/switch locations. This is unacceptable

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    TV breakdown update: The worst is over for cable and satellite viewers. Freeview viewers appear to be worst affected, depending on which TV region you live in. This is because of Red Bee Media's role in getting TV services out to viewers via terrestrial TV.

  • farmfriendlincs Farmers Friend (@farmfriendlincs) reported

    All Freeview @Channel4 stations have just crashed! Never had that happen before.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    More 4: if you're on Freeview, availability varies. It's still off air in some regions - i.e. you'll just see a logo top left. In other areas, it's back and earlier issues with poor picture quality are being resolved. Sat/cable viewers are already back to normal.

  • abigayle_x Abigayle ♠️💜 (@abigayle_x) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice JVC tv with freeview play is throwing up error FVP-300 on iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4 and My5. Have power cycled the TV and reset the wifi and still getting the error. Aerial is fine as live freeview channels still working, any idea how to fix this?

  • willmgreenhalgh William Greenhalgh (@willmgreenhalgh) reported

    @canveyboy1972 @Channel4 Apple TV is still broken then, from what I've read satellite was the first to return then they focused on freeview, I guess apple TV and other Internet based services are last on the list

    @FreeviewAdvice Oh Freeview help page not there
