  • DaveBStDW Dave Bowden (@DaveBStDW) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk Hi Aaron, I am in complete disbelief as to how long this takes to resolve. I don’t care who resolves it & not my problem he’s not in. I’m paying full price for freeview! I demand compensation and a quick resolve as this is just embarrassing for @bt_uk

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Andrew88820142 Andy (@Andrew88820142) reported

    How is it they can send signals from millions of miles away in space back to a little laboratory on Earth, when I can't even get a good TV signal off freeview 😭😡😡. This is supposed to be the 21st century.. Buck Rogers never had this problem.

  • u0421793 Ian K Tindale (@u0421793) reported from East Ham, England

    The Good, the Bad and The Ugly is just starting now on Paramount network freeview 32

  • Liberalsnowfl19 Blackbeard 🏴‍☠️🍻 (@Liberalsnowfl19) reported

    @BillySarstard @vwgti80 @DJBURNS_was I see no issue. If you dont want to fund freeview then don't get a tv licence. You get what you pay for

  • teweybear Sharon Tew (@teweybear) reported

    @bt_uk No issues with Freeview at all (ie watching through the TV using the external aerial and built in Freeview). As soon as we switch to BT box, picture pixelates. Does this answer your Q’s?!

  • Jules_Clarke Rouge Noir (897) (@Jules_Clarke) reported

    with freeview, why is lcn change pop nearly every day , even with retune? And the Do you want to search? comes up loads, and what the abject **** . pissed off with it

  • luke0586 Luke Clarke (@luke0586) reported

    @skytv @SkyHelpTeam it’s always confused me that if you pay Sky for their TV service using their equipment and dishes, you still have to pay for a separate licence… surely this should be included in your billing as they are providing the service… #TVLicence #Sky #Freeview

  • MCY1X 💙 Michael of Sussex 🇬🇧🇮🇪🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈 (@MCY1X) reported

    Me days my #Freeview is better than others, but today I can’t get a single channel! Don’t know if it’s the aerial causing the problem or just an unusually weak signal?

  • MrsJaneRace Jane Race 💙 (@MrsJaneRace) reported

    @zoom_96 @jeehaeda We have Sky and Freeview and haven't been to see any Olympic golf. Coverage has been awful.

  • krys1888 Krys 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇵🇱🇮🇪 (@krys1888) reported

    Oh nice, the Freeview BBC Scotland HD channel is offline so I guess I'm watching the game in SD. WTF.

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @ukdtt Remember CBM? The Freeview channel that had a caption 'Coming soon to Channel 22', but never launched.
