  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • OThreens Dave is 🅱️ald (@OThreens) reported

    Got my mom a cheap Freeview HD box for her bedroom. Problem 1: as I plugged in the antenna cable the board in the Freeview box fell loose, so I had to void the warranty, open it up, and find the board was just not secured in place at all, even though there was a screw hole.

  • Vlad42250421 Vlad (@Vlad42250421) reported

    @paulafr68963440 Netflix has a few series, Breaking bad, better call Saul, Peaky Blinders ,Mongols Now tv a few more Sopranos, boardwalk empire, Stargate but there's bugger all on freeview

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital @hischeekiness @ukdtt Also noticed court TV, the much hyped about channel has left freeview. Dads had enough of freeview. Too much returning etc. And the main aerial crashing down in last wèeks gales. As he understands freesat the challenge here is getting him using that.

  • TheyCallHimR R (@TheyCallHimR) reported

    Tweeps - any reason why my HD freeview channels suddenly have disappeared ?! Tried to retune and they won’t reappear.. was fine a month ago (i dont watch much freeview clearly). Any help/advice?! #ENGAUS

  • oldnormalstreet Old Normal Street (@oldnormalstreet) reported

    @tomhfh cool, wont have to remember how to tune / find a freeview channel 👍 protip - we want something like sky news australia not more of the same sky / bbc garbage

  • Carla_littlerob Carla (@Carla_littlerob) reported

    @TrilbeeReviews Statistic for you courtesy of Creative Diversity Network highlighted by freeview in a FB post today.. 4.7% of all lead roles are given to black actors. Black people represent 3.5% pf the UK population if I recall.. So over represented perhaps?

  • nashoban_info nashoban productions (@nashoban_info) reported

    @CourtTVUK have you shut down your UK Freeview service? 🙁

  • MarkBoreham3 Mark Boreham (@MarkBoreham3) reported

    @MerielMyers The atrocious freeview signal from BBC has boiled my piss this week.

  • UKRichpixie Richard Heading (@UKRichpixie) reported

    Dear stonk, GB news launches on the 13th of June, freeview channel 236. ****. Penguin.

  • 10agapanthus Pamela Murray (@10agapanthus) reported
