  • 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

  • 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.

    @lumixkat I was trying to watch it on Freeview demand or even Britbox however these steaming apps failed, so now I just wait until C4 or E4 which is just annoying as I normally would watch the next day episode with my morning breakfast ahahaha, 1st World problems ahahaha.

    @gabyhinsliff Never heard of watching the news? Loads of channels available on freeview.

    @malfouru48 Every Freeview TV has a CAM interface on the rear; in simple terms, a card slot, to facilitate access to encrypted services. The BBC could encrypt the signal tomorrow and all most people would need to do is insert a card into their TV. The BBC and Gov continue to lie about this.

    As TV signals changed to digital, you either have a @FreeviewTV integrated TV or need to use a freeview box on an older TV. Why does @BBCNews have to interrupt @Wimbledon on the hour? If you want to watch the national news, go to the BBC news channel which has the same content

    @dontdoit61 Try an OS update. If you're streaming try 2.4 rather than 5ghz WiFi stream. Also if it's Freeview try attenuating the Ariel signal...

  • arqiva Arqiva (@arqiva) reported

    Some Freeview viewers in the HG4 area have reported their channels freezing. Rescanning your TV with your aerial unplugged, then doing so again with the aerial plugged back in may help. For assistance call 0800 121 4828.

    @talktoNHG I live in Old Kenton Lane. At least two flats in our block have reported a problem with Freeview that seems to indicate a problem with the communal system. Most flats use Sky. Tried your app but did not have the right options to report.

    @Susiebags It's been a rant of mine for a long time, it's just awful. England playing almost any type of match, live on Freeview TV, Scotland playing almost any match, no chance it'll be on Freeview TV.

    @HisenseAus I have tried calling your Customer service...no answer, tried the callback, no calls. I have a simple question, why is Freeview no longer working on my 49P4? It was working when we bought it, then it disappeared, came back a few months later and now gone again.

    @sharepointalex Hi Alex, I believe there is no free service of channels if you cancel your subscription with Virgin. In order to receive Freeview you will need an aerial connected to the TV. Thank you, Melissa
