  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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.

    Hooman is finding new things out living in this small town. The big Tesco extra doesn't open before 7am, Amazon, deliveroo, just eat etc don't deliver here, there's no buses after 6.30om & the tv and mobile signal is very poor. Hooman can only get 45 freeview channels here.

    @joti261 @Nigel_Farage @GBNEWS STUPID!! GB News is not a satellite channel; it is free to air on Freeview.

  • residentchemist Certified bad *****. ♒ 🇯🇲🇰🇳♿ (@residentchemist) reported

    Really @skytv , no info, no update and now I have to sit on the phone for 30 mins to find out why YOU have cancelled my service? And now I'm being charged for freeview channels which I can get for free??? Nah this is ridiculous.

  • dongapalouza Dongapalouza (°!°) (@dongapalouza) reported

    @syd_rochelle Ok, I see you asked this 8 years ago, and have almost certainly found out since then but I can't help responding... the answer is yes, yes they did! And it's now back on TV, on Freeview, on 'Forces TV'. Enjoy!

  • MaffyBoon MF (@MaffyBoon) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice retuning does nothing.. no channels! Looking at the local forums many people are experiencing the same. Can you comment on actual service status in the SG11 area? Information on tuning my Freeview box is useless if there are no services...

  • BlakeAntcliff Blake Antcliff (@BlakeAntcliff) reported

    @BBCNews Not just villagers, occasionally try my TV and still can't get a signal (have freesat so not that much of an issue) My Dad has BT Youview box that he barely knows how to use and no Freeview channels at all.

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    OK Day 35 with no #Freeview has just got worse. Got no @bbc5live & no BBC radio on DAB either (obviously no FM with no transmitter. #Freeview need to start answering questions to MP's this is ****, can live with no TV, radio just about but *******, this is 3rd world crap

  • GrandOld_Grumpy Chris Williams (@GrandOld_Grumpy) reported

    @Jo_IsABitch Not a fan of that charlatan! Saw him whilst flipping through the religious channels on freeView here, the first time we got the service. Saw his audience, realised really rapidly, he was in it for the money, nothing else! Easy life being given 10+% of everyone’s hard earned money

  • mrledders ian leadbetter (@mrledders) reported

    @Dolly_Darren Ok. Mine did the same to me. I switched it off at the mains (along with the Freeview box), promised never to watch ITV3 again, left it for about an hour and when I switched it back on it came back to life. Sadly, not designed to last now!

    @Forces_TV @MakingBlakes7 @GerryAndersonTV If only I could get your channel on freeview in our neighbourhood 😥. Your signal hamsters need to spin their wheels a bit harder!
