  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

    @FreeviewTV @meikleholm1 Yes many folks not able to watch @GBNEWS because of Freeview cut down service . The post code lottery over who gets free tv.

  • JulianRadbourne Julian Radbourne (@JulianRadbourne) reported from Cromer, England

    @dramachannel Will the first episode of series 5 of Waiting for God be on the catch-up service? Can't find it on either Sky+ or Freeview.

    @GBNEWS Freeview reception is very poor at the moment. Hope you can boost your signal so I can watch a decent news channel.

  • eugenespeed2 Barry Wilson (@eugenespeed2) reported

    Can you get battery powered freeview TVs? I don't mean rechargeable batteries, but ones where you stick a few AAs in? I had an analogue one but never seen a digital version. I'm not getting much luck with Google. All I'm finding is plug or rechargable powered.

  • leftyBrighton Lefty from Brighton (@leftyBrighton) reported from Hove, England

    @BBCNews I for one won't be retuning my Freeview for this crap.

  • 8R34TH3 8R34TH3 (@8R34TH3) reported

    Is "GREAT! movies" a new channel on Freeview? I've never noticed it ever before. Ah well! "Signs" is on! 👽

  • _Monty200_ Monty200💚☮🦆🌍✨ (@_Monty200_) reported

    @persiarainn I think I heard of that too which is really abusive and horrible to do, especially towards a child actor. I remember Pop too (but we didn't even have that on freeview and was introduced to that when my sibling got sky freesat upstairs) and got into that channel before (1)

  • moggie1984 Cat (@moggie1984) reported

    @timmyjpb Thanks Tim! I did see that but I just fail to understand with all the channels on Freeview you still have to subscribe (even for a free trial) to just watch one programme! Maybe that’s just me...?
