  • 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

  • LwtEmmaBird Sarah Harbour (@LwtEmmaBird) reported

    Hi @rmc47 - @melharbour suggested you might be able to help. Any ideas why a Freeview TV signal might disappear in the middle of the day? We've retuned, but it works fine until about 8.30am, then pixelated before finally displaying 'no signal' - so can't believe it's the tuning

  • ruth_forrester ruth forrester (@ruth_forrester) reported

    @Channel4 hello, I have not watched C4 on freeview for like a year because no matter what I do to try to reset pw I cannot login

  • The4thSong ChelseafortheCup (@The4thSong) reported

    i did a freeview retune and now im getting liverpool tv instead of manchester and it sucks they dont do old style comedies like benny hill, hale and pace

  • spidersam616 sam (@spidersam616) reported

    @farmboyluke I’m so sad for all the disadvantaged kids who rely on this service for entertainment. Not all kids can afford streaming and only freeview

  • PWispa Taylor! (@PWispa) reported

    @oocukkidstv No way, they bring back BBC Three only to immediately do this **** afterwards. Wtf are freeview kids who grew out of Cbeebies going to watch now? Pop?

  • rosshawkes Ross (@rosshawkes) reported

    @JayneHowarth If they do this and stop airing PBS on Freeview, I'll never get my fix of random documentaries!

  • jssown bbygorl (@jssown) reported

    As a poor kid who grew up with just freeview and a full time working mum, the loss of CBBC just makes me insanely sad man

  • sharon_hall1977 sharon hall (@sharon_hall1977) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice stop moving the channels around it's doing my head in! Freeview is ****!

  • M_I_Ross Matthew Ross (@M_I_Ross) reported

    @GaymerChat Yeah, I’m going to watch Stranger Things 4 then probably cancel. I’m tempted to cancel the package altogether and rely on Freeview and assorted streaming apps on the Apple TV. Maybe I’ll make a dent in my massive pile of unread books? (Spoiler: I will not…)

  • yopintar84 Painterman (@yopintar84) reported

    @pennylongstckng Can't watch mainstream TV any longer, it's just infested with woke, poisonous lies & drivel. Not good I appreciate but these days I either spend time channel hopping through Freeview or don't even bother to put the TV on. Forget Netflix etc, just the same mind controlling garbage
