  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

    @MSwift94 Honestly think a better solution to get people into cricket (I presume this is what it's for) would be to just put more normal cricket and more t20 cricket on freeview telly.

  • thomasforth Tom Forth (@thomasforth) reported

    Really happy about joining "team @duncanrobinson" on so-called freeview. aka TV, without the internet. Cuts down latency to approx. 1 second versus "live". Available, amazingly for such an antique technology in "H.D." too. But, why is there no Newsmax? How am I to inform myself?

  • HolaDera Taking The Future From The Now (@HolaDera) reported

    RANDOM Q: POP is the kids channel available on Freeview. When I was young POP had absolute trash kids shows. All the a-list shows were on Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Fox Kids & Disney. I decided to have a look this evening. They have Dragonball Pokémon & Power Rangers 😮

  • CyanDippy Cyan (Sian) (@CyanDippy) reported

    Do not have the spoons to work out why I've got no freeview or sky tv signal today. Argh!!

  • Ronagig Ro "there are four lights" (@Ronagig) reported

    @K_Flynny369 Can't get it tuned in on Freeview, signal not good enough 🙄 Enjoy it for me

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @roseannerainbo4 Hi Roseanne, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Youtube app. You would need to contact the manufacture of your equipment for assistance as the Youtube app is not part of the Freeview service. Thanks, Dylan

  • Rexymorgano Rexy (@Rexymorgano) reported

    @jimwaterson Dont forget shutting down. Their sky and freeview slots are worth money. I give it until end of August.

  • pagechord Alan Royston (@pagechord) reported

    @simonnread I've struck lucky today, normally Talking Pics pixelates. Will record and watch later. Ever since they tinkered with Freeview the signal has been appalling. Laurel & Hardy still funny to this day.

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @russty_russ Hugely disappointing as they on concentrated on Teletext Holidays, a digital service on Freeview at the time.

  • janeteastwood Janet Eastwood (@janeteastwood) reported

    @alan_jones Btw, this Luddite has just connected by new tv to my broadband for Freeview Play, impressive or what. Not as good as your new car but t not bad for me
