  • 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)

  • 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.

    @FreeviewAdvice Since Sunday I've not been able to get these channels - 1,2,9,12,25,27,34,39,51,56. In this day and age I find it totally unacceptable that its still possible to get a bad signal for 1 day, never mind 3 days +. I can't afford cable or satellite tv, freeview is all I've got

    @ofcom @bbc @10DowningStreet If Freeview is switched off in favour of Freely (which is good in some contexts) on a day like today when there is a major outage you could be at home with no broadband, now no landline AND no TV. So no idea what is going on. Is that sensible? No.

  • PlainOfBlood Dennis (@PlainOfBlood) reported

    @NNick_Valentine I sometimes consider leaving but am such a fan of tv, I would miss the streaming, freeview is just all crap now days.

  • RupertThomson Rupert (@RupertThomson) reported

    Anyone else notice how bad the picture quality of U&Drama @dramachannel is on Freeview? Doesn't even look like SD resolution.

  • ask343yt ask343 (@ask343yt) reported

    @Bowlingboyninja @itzabbiiee @Xploshi that's when I pretty much stopped watching TV so no surprises there I guess I had freeview so my channel choices were ****, POP fell off by then

  • LukeBebbo1996 Luke Bebbington (@LukeBebbo1996) reported

    Not there so no idea how we are playing as refuse to listen on the radio/freeview. Got to be making three subs at half time for me can’t accept 2-0 down Rankine, Agius and Holicek on for Thomas Lankester Oreilly.

  • AnnReynold73527 Ann Reynolds (@AnnReynold73527) reported

    @FreeviewTV Why are we having problems Recording Freeview channels, particularly Channel 10 ( ITV3) in the evenings? Generally ok during the day? Belmont transmitter? Does this need a time/ date adjustment at your end? Says No Signal for failed recordings but signal is there!!

  • terence58987231 terence mason (@terence58987231) reported

    the b b c have a bloody nerve putting up the t v licence next year to 180 pounds, all they do ,is repeats and more repeats and freeview is absolute crap ,the b b c pay themselves too much, i could read the news for a lot less the 450,000 a year.,its time to stop the hyke up.

    @KernalKornflake @GBNEWS I use Brave on my PC but I just switched to EE at home. The app was there yesterday now it’s gone. It’s also not being broadcast on their internet TV but all the other freeview ARQB channels are like Quest etc! And YouTube sucks with ads outside of Brave!
