  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

    WiFi is down, only got Freeview TV. It's like living in 2011. Barbaric. Thank God there's football on ITV.

  • BurningBridgett BurningBridgette94 (@BurningBridgett) reported

    @hoolatv Uh... hello? BBC News and CBBC have changed transponders on satellite, and Quest moved multiplexes on Freeview, why have you still not fixed the issues? I have a bad feeling when BBC One and BBC Two move transponders you won't have it fixed in time, which is problematic.

  • PiMinister Sir Ivan Holland 🇺🇦 (@PiMinister) reported

    @biglesp I remember going through this process many years ago. I only had phone and broadband at the time, but was told that if I had a TV box as well my monthly cost would be cheaper. The TV box was delivered and I never used it as I already had Freeview for TV. Madness.

  • zumospiceed èama nic suibhne (@zumospiceed) reported

    as if this m video is the number 1 worst thing weans could watch when naked attraction is right there on freeview television

  • Humour_ous Animal the return (@Humour_ous) reported

    @SKYNZ have you changed your neon platform for streaming its gone very slow & clunky for menu and such, my freeview/netflix/prime/skysportnow all good just your ap. My previous subscription verging on ending, was keen on continuing but now?

  • zeekidvicious 𝔃𝓮𝓮 (@zeekidvicious) reported

    @FoxyLustyGrover lol, this happens to us as well (we only have freeview), it starts to cut out when there's heavy rain. On Friday it cut out for the longest time it ever has o_O

  • spacewardash Ashley Shillabeer (@spacewardash) reported

    So I've migrated to @ITVX from BritBoxUK to get more value for money. However, the UI seems very buggy on my Freeview Play TV and is very slow/ unresponsive on other devices. I also miss the Skip Intro feature. At least the contents should be the same, right @ITVXhelp ?

  • samjenright Sam Herdman (@samjenright) reported

    @virginmedia We get freeview on our tele. We got told that an engineer would come around within an alloted time, and they never arrived. We just got cables posted later that week. It's sad that Virgin don't look after their loyal customers, just charge them more every year.

  • GailBloomer1 Gail Bloomer (@GailBloomer1) reported

    @GrantRustique it looks awful whether you pay for it, mental that freeview actually looks better
