  • 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.

    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)

    @Outside_Margina @Channel4 Try obtaining Film on 4 or other channels with a 4 in the name on Freeview. Technical problems are ongoing.

  • differ_dare Dare Differ (@differ_dare) reported

    @Limping_Chicken Too many Freeview channels without any or nominal amount of subtitles after all these years. Horror does none, yet most horror is dark for scare effect, folk whisper... Worse kind of set up to try and make out what happening. Access to service - subtitles should be mandatory now.

    @willsandry I’m watching on actual TV/Freeview. They’re still not right after the Red Bee fire/oxygen suppression system issues over the weekend. I think they must be broadcasting on backup systems.

  • willmgreenhalgh William Greenhalgh (@willmgreenhalgh) reported

    @Maxiwacks @Channel4 it more seems to affect channel 4 HD then certain programmes but it also seems to act differently depending on what service your using, such as satellite cable and freeview, or internet services which are mostly broken

  • lauren_miles L a u r e n (@lauren_miles) reported

    Anyone having issues with the Voice-over on #bakeoff watch it via freeview rather than Sky and its much better #GBBO ☺

  • mylifeinwordsuk Lee-Mc (@mylifeinwordsuk) reported

    @virginmedia Just checked my bill, you are adding £24 a month, when I have zero usage on phone, basic 100mb fibre and basic mixit TV package which is paramount to freeview, sorry not getting fleeced by you, when you aren’t even providing a half decent service

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @jaco45er @NickyAACampbell @bbc5live BUT that's the issue there was never any fuel shortages, and those that hadn't had delivered were a 5 stations in the South proving again the news is southern centric focused....remind me again we're now on day 53 of no #Freeview yet bugger all talking about, no media asking why
