  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • meraulton Meraulton (@meraulton) reported

    Build up your own library of DVDs and CDs because tonight's tv is just awful. I expect terrestrial tv to be bad every night but Freeview is now following suit. Just put your own stuff on. A bit of Genesis then Apocalypse Now.

  • CatIpswich Toby the Cat (Ipswich) (@CatIpswich) reported

    @ModernCassie Never knew it existed. Who will screen it on Freeview?

  • markdea61022336 mark dean (@markdea61022336) reported

    @TalkTalk my parents have been sent a new talktalk Freeview box. It’s connected up but when watching Freeview they have sound and no picture. Streaming services work ok. Help please?

  • ChrisTheDJ Chris Merriman 🇺🇦 (@ChrisTheDJ) reported

    Actually that's not strictly true. Freeview will be offering internet streams of channels as back up in the future, but no sign of when, so that doesn't help you today.

  • InnovateFor Innovate for Growth (@InnovateFor) reported

    Finally, check streaming services. Freevee. The best free streaming service overall Peacock. Pluto TV. Roku Channel. Tubi. ... Crackle. ... Vudu. ... Sling Free. Negotiate a lower monthly cost or switch provider. Take advantage of freeview and freeway. Get those old DVDs out.

  • mrwilmore18 Neal 🌎 (@mrwilmore18) reported

    @rreczulski @rasiron Freeview channel 721 is BBC Leicester where I live so fully rely on BBC Sport commentary. I suspect many others who live away from the region have the same issue.

  • ChrisBagguley Chris Bagguley💙 (@ChrisBagguley) reported

    @UtchStokie @sailingbikeruk I have this problem every week. When MW frequency was available Stoke were always on Freeview. Since that went they're always on FM hence I can't listen nor is Sounds available.

  • UKTVPlayHelp UKTV Play Help (@UKTVPlayHelp) reported

    @paulajt Likely the known issue we have with Freeview devices. A fix will be released soon this week so you can tell us if you still got the error.

  • Mistertonmick75 Michael Kent 🦮 Eddie 🐕 Kaylee 🌈 🐕 Toby 🌈 (@Mistertonmick75) reported

    @rreczulski @rasiron @MalarkeyIron I think it is daft not having a freeview aerial for back up incase Sky is down rhrough weather or your Sky main box isn't working and you are waiting for a day or 2 for a repairman or replacement, at least it is better than watching a blank screen.

  • ColinMichaelHo2 Colin Michael Hodge (@ColinMichaelHo2) reported
