  • 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

  • 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

    @BermondseySE16 @AlStewartOBE @GBNEWS Try removing your aerial from your TV, returned without the aerial, then put aerial back in and retune again. See if that works. If not, go on freeview website for extra help.

    Anybody else's smart TV forgotten their sign in details to some Freeview Play channels? I've lost BBC iPlayer, ITV and a couple of others. It's a damned nuisance having to sign in again with that ridiculous keyboard!

  • deembe_ David Brookes 🔶 😷 💙#TruthMatters #FactsMatter (@deembe_) reported

    @JolyonMaugham I must set up a favourites list on Freeview so that channel 236 never gets offered here.

  • paramuchibar Charles Paramuchibar (@paramuchibar) reported

    @apprentice_hw @GBNEWS Freeview Channel 236 (do a channel auto retune) Forget Sky and cancel the BBC bogus license. xx
