  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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

  • SimplyMetric Kevin Hall 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 ☮️ (@SimplyMetric) reported

    @janmicham @RobertCooksley3 @lionelbarber It'll remain free to view but it'll be an emaciated stick figure showing 30 year old repeats of Countdown. Have a look down the Freeview TV guide for what this brave new world looks like.

  • muder1308 ModernTVGold (@muder1308) reported

    @Forces_TV @RadioTimes The time it debuted when W moved to the Freeview page on the 25-31 March 2022 issue. So it had to replace the defunct Fox channel on p5.

    @grahamefendle Also, Freeview is brilliant tbh. Pretty much the same as Virgin's basic package but without the porno and selling channels. Also allows me to delete channels such as that mongo GB News cuntery full of spastic propagandist gimps. **** them all. This is the way to go imo.

  • NotreRene Our René (El Dios) (@NotreRene) reported

    @ciscokid1690ao1 @SkySports There are. But that would then involve watching something transmitted by Our Sly. I used to pay £90 a month for what was essentially Freeview. Cancelled it. Never looked back.

  • blogmywiki Ask Me About My Aeropress™️ (@blogmywiki) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV Hi! Has something happened to your signal from Crystal Palace on Freeview? I can’t receive you on channel 82 any more. Retuning didn’t help.

  • DSkippings Darren Skippings (@DSkippings) reported

    This privatisation of Ch4, would include the stake in freeview that is part owned between BBC, ITV and CH4, another terrible idea, from our government of terrible ideas.

  • IanTurnberry IanC 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🌈 (@IanTurnberry) reported

    I'm going to treat myself to a big bar of chocolate today. Apart from being a clever little boy FINALLY setting up my new TV and Freeview Recorder and Google Laptop I also had good news on my diabetes, still OK and my blood pressure, normal. Umm maybe chocolate isn't a good idea

  • djbwells Darren Wells (@djbwells) reported

    @SimonJeremyMil1 @ThatsTVOfficial Same down in the South of Uk. We watch on satellite but would be handy to get it on freeview

  • AlanToms14 They call me Arlan. (@AlanToms14) reported

    @Andrea25079843 Ditched Virgin a couple of weeks ago. Our freeview signal is poor but we haven't missed 'normal TV ' as we have Netflix Etc. Although I did miss watching Palace stuff the Gunners on Monday night. Also ditched phone line as we never use it except to recieve calls from scammers

  • embee200 Mark Anthony Cameron 🇬🇧 (@embee200) reported

    @VoiceofCal It's only if you watch or record live TV or watch anything on iPlayer which is the BBC's own video on demand service. This includes any channel broadcasting in the UK, Sky, freesat, even freeview tv-the channels preprogrammed into a TV when you buy it.
