  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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.

    Just got in from work. Retuned the tv & bingo, Food Network is back on my Freeview, after going missing last week

  • Susie61180 Susie (@Susie61180) reported from Greenock, Scotland

    @virginmedia all my channels including freeview ones are giving the message 'channel not authorised' this morning, I've rebooted and still the same, any help please??

  • daryl_millar Daryl Millar (@daryl_millar) reported

    @EmmanuelAnyiamO Dreading it. I'm watching this on iPlayer as my Freeview signal keeps going out in high pressure.

  • KimFraserGreen Kim Green (@KimFraserGreen) reported

    @JustMissEmma Hope you're feeling a bit better. If you want to watch 'Whistle Down the Wind', it's on this Friday at 8am (on Talking Pictures freeview channel 82 I think)! Really worth a watch. It's a classic☺

  • julianfells Julian Fells (@julianfells) reported

    @henry_stleger @LGUK @techradar I’l confess U saw this excellent article, but feel it needs a wider audience. Now LG have fixed the issue for 2921 TVs there’s a danger they’ll forget about us (like Netcast). So please keep up the pressure on LG and Freeview to resolve this for 2030 LG TVs. Thanks!

  • VictoriaBarry82 Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported

    @dj85ftm My cousin works for sky & if you cancel, a few weeks later they’ll call you back & offer a decent discount. I’ve cancelled a few times over the yrs & never handed a box back & you can watch the freeview channels through the box

  • Gavarnos Gav Mac  (@Gavarnos) reported

    @IanDunt Having a decent Freeview roof aerial & amplifier really does help. The ITV HD channel is an improvement. I have epic internet & their streaming quality is horrifically bad; just watched the Denmark game I missed yesterday it’s garbage!

  • frazerjon fraser (@frazerjon) reported

    Heavy downpour has interrupted my sky signal. Had to go to freeview.

  • dean_m_caldwell DEAN CALDWELL (@dean_m_caldwell) reported

    Do you know that out of 30 odd television channels on New Zealand's freeview. That there is only 4 - 5 mainstream channels. Out of these most popular channels. Most of the content is reality TV crap. I would love to see an old black and white 30s musical movie.
