  • 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.

  • 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

    @NPHockeyPuck Yep got it down to 32 and then I decided I only wanted freeview and internet so cancelled it altogether. Keep going with it everytime they offer say no .

  • hitinman Just Davo (@hitinman) reported

    Interesting after 2 days of zero TV reception, as mysteriously as it vanished it is now back. I can guess there was a problem somewhere with an antenna that fed into our valley. #Freeview when it works.

  • wpoel William Poel (@wpoel) reported

    You need to have a webpage showing realtime Freeview problems. It's a huge waste of time trying to guess if Freeview is working in tropo affected parts of the country. @FreeviewAdvice @Ofcom

    @virginmedia @neilspellings That's just not true! I got rid of you because your service was expensive, inefficient and slow. I get better from Freeview and Netflix, and ASDL is much faster than your lowest fibre broadband, and supports just as many devices. And all at a fraction of the price.

    @TheBlueUlysses #ScourgeOfTheTVChannels & this **** Daily Fail wannabe TV show both are blocked & not available on my freeview recorders & TVs.

  • daval13 Alma Masters (@daval13) reported

    @stevemulder888 @BBC1 Yes same problem have switched to freeview

  • GiveUsAQuid Sir Lefty Farr-Wright, Hard-Right Parody Account (@GiveUsAQuid) reported

    @rufc2022 Must admit, I've never seen Our Novara - I'd thought it was a type of lipstick. Can it be watched on the Hard-Right Freeview?

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    @CraigTvBug @EvanD As it stands the Freeview signal is currently carrying data to support five regional versions of BBC One HD across England. But the BBC promises all regions. It is currently advising the changes will occur by the end of April.

  • Wyfan2 The Wilder Way - Patrick Wymark Boardroom (@Wyfan2) reported

    @RosalynConnors @RodneyMarshall1 You tell me..I've had Freeview freeze and black out like a signal problem before, but this seemed to be a continuous freeze frame right after saying, "shoot the first man that moves" (like a prank) and then a smooth cut to the next scene.

    @virginmedia I have the basic of basic packages. Volt included, whatever that means, as I’m on O2 as well. A 22.5% increase is ridiculous for what is essentially Freeview with broadband. More ridiculous is your blanket removal of our right to cancel because of such imposed future increases
