  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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.

    @Elemjay1 Oh that's really fantastic - now I feel confident I can go into battle with my 'freeview jesus' sword in hand. He is so ridiculous, I sometimes really want to give him a bit of a hug. And then I think, **** it, let him burn in the toxins he spews, nothing to see here etc etc.

  • DaveCha84664604 Dave Chapman (@DaveCha84664604) reported

    @LBC @IainDale @David_Dimbleby So how will the network that provides all the Freeview channels be paid for. The licence is not just for BBC content.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @NicCop_avfc @FreeviewTV Hi Nicki, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview Reception. So, we can investigate this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • artman146 David Carvell (@artman146) reported

    @PeteEva06681310 @Matthew78840327 If you watch or record TV on any channel via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat), you need to be covered by a TV Licence. If you watch live streaming services (e.g. ITV Hub, All 4, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Sky Go), or use BBC iPlayer*, you need a TV Licence.

  • simonhardwick Simon Hardwick (@simonhardwick) reported

    Main transmitters (FM/DAB/freeview) etc will most likely have backups but I remember in the big storm of 1987 that wasn’t a huge help, only one AM station (BBC local) managed to remain on air. Worth having some batteries for your radio next to your torch. /7

  • KingJimmeh ~Jimmeh~ (@KingJimmeh) reported

    @jonrog1 @Blankzilla It was never the content, or really the ads that were the issue. It was the tech behind it. I don't know about cable boxes in the US, but set-top boxes for Sky and Freeview and most built-in TV guides and systems for getting to content were slow and awful.

  • mark_simpson Mark Simpson 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦 (@mark_simpson) reported

    I thought Channel 4 HD regions were now A Thing but there are an awful lot of irrelevant adverts on the Ulster region Freeview feed. 🤔

  • Sophomania_101 Careful, I have Sophomania. (@Sophomania_101) reported

    @mettderk1 @ladbible Yep, if you don't wanna pay for their service use freeview etc, they're private company's you don't have to give them your cash, Why should I pay more because you don't wanna pay at all?

  • 4Viewers 4Viewers (@4Viewers) reported

    @mari_stewart1 Hi Mari, #All4 is not supported on the Android TV OS. If you are experiencing issues accessing All 4 via a Freeview Play service or YouView service in this TV then please let us know.
