  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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

  • skull441234 Flaue Xzergi (@skull441234) reported

    @Daily_Express HD on freeview tho, poor picture quality, unwatchable...

  • ColinWelsh3 Colin Welsh (@ColinWelsh3) reported

    @paddypower Tell everyone to turn over to the BBCRB service 601 on freeview you get the radio commentary with Jermaine Jenas 🕺

  • allybalder alan watson (@allybalder) reported

    @mgtruth Had Sky Q for yonks - never a prob - except when weather bad to the south east - switch to freeview

  • steveja89368890 stevie JJ . (@steveja89368890) reported

    What’s all this fuss about regarding @GBNEWS Only problem I found when watching on Freeview was the sound.

  • wordspinster Debbie Cameron (@wordspinster) reported

    @DrClaireH Discovering that this is available on Freeview has vindicated my policy of only ever retuning when I suddenly lose a channel I actually watch--every time I do retune I get mesmerised by a bunch of new and terrible additions

  • FridayMinus My name is Matt (maybe) (@FridayMinus) reported

    @WotNot5 @GBNewsFails I've just been Googling about it - apparently they're having some problems on Freeview even after retuning (which is what I did). Everything about GB News just oozes high quality.

  • thepostermafia the postermafia (@thepostermafia) reported

    @GBNEWS Sorted the sound out yet? Really bad on #freeview 🤷

  • YoungOneUK AndyYoung (@YoungOneUK) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice @Jamesmack007 @GBNEWS Speaking with people across my Town and troubleshooting with others across the internet. GBNews on Freeview is slightly blurry and fuzzy. This would suggest it is a Freeview transmission issue not a receiver issue as others are having the exact same problem.

  • guesswhatmimi_ cal (@guesswhatmimi_) reported

    wtf is this “new news channel” everyone is harping on about? am i missing something here bc i can’t find any new news channel on the freeview
