  • 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.

    @FreeviewTV I'm still receiving the wrong ITV Region on Channel 103. On Channel 3 I receive ITV Meridian South which is correct but on Channel 103 I'm receiving ITV Meridian Kent. Freesat had the same problem but was fixed in April last year. When do Freeview plan to fix this?

  • HansHass2 Hans Hass (@HansHass2) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Why can't I get the Horror Bites app on Freeview? Or view the Horror channel on demand service? Cheers

    @BbcBring Bollocks! Not in HD on my dog end of a @Freeview service.

    @DrewLawDesign A few saying Everett, I liked him in the 70s as a kid but I watched it the other week on Freeview and it was cringy as **** really really ****. Best left of n the 70s I think. Anyway has to be Ken Loach.

    Hey Freeview, I don’t want to keep pressing yellow all the damn time, make it stop!

  • janehartwell Jane Hartwell (@janehartwell) reported

    @virginmedia I got through eventually but now I have a new problem!! Loads of channels have disappeared. There should be no changes to my package. I’m effectively paying Virgin to supply me with Freeview! What’s going on?

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    @htwcentral @sgordon_the87 @cleanfeed_ttvr I would say that would be a bad idea but to be fair Sky/Comcast are doing a good job with Sky Arts and I was seriously amazed they put it on Freeview 11 and not in the waste land of the epg.

  • KeithCP2 Keith Pates (@KeithCP2) reported

    @IMPACTWRESTLING I used to watch it, but they deserted freeview and went pay per view, never mind I enjoy watching AEW on Freeview lots of Impact Wrestlers have gone there like Hardy for one big name, and there are others including Women

  • BRFC_Bigchris Tackleberry (@BRFC_Bigchris) reported

    @yorkshirebegley As they're putting their prices up they are in breach of contract, you can cancel or renegotiate. I like their service Phil, I'm on 100Mb BB, realistically get 75% of that at peak times. I just want to ditch the TV service off for freeview.

    @FreeviewTV why is it that since having #freeview any wind, rain or combination of, and we get **** TV reception?? #craptechnology
