  • DaveBStDW Dave Bowden (@DaveBStDW) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk Hi Aaron, I am in complete disbelief as to how long this takes to resolve. I don’t care who resolves it & not my problem he’s not in. I’m paying full price for freeview! I demand compensation and a quick resolve as this is just embarrassing for @bt_uk

  • 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)

  • uncriticalsimon Simon 🥑🚟🚅😈💉💉💉 (@uncriticalsimon) reported from Newport, Wales

    .@Freeview question - how come the PSB muxes aren’t treated equally? The BBC one and the HD one seem to have a much better signal from Wenvoe than the “normal” ITV one. (I can get Mendip off a random bit of metal.)

  • oitappin Dan Tappin (@oitappin) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @DooHopper Pick will be an interesting case, no hd an awful picture on Freeview, good slot number but not much heft from Sky to push it.

  • 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.

    @Deadspin What network is Whitlock on now? That old POS is probably on Freeview or some ****. No one listens to the dude too stupid for fox sports.

  • TV_Bits TVBits (@TV_Bits) reported

    @a516digital Any timetable for poor old cinderella Freeview?

  • ColinFl80111099 Colin Fletcher “Anti-growth” Coalition (@ColinFl80111099) reported

    @lizwoodcraft @TalkingPicsTV Probably shown again. But also on Freeview 82 red button, if you have smart tv, on their catch up service.

  • GP6312 Graham 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@GP6312) reported

    @AvonandsomerRob Never took the Sky pill. Told them I didn’t want to fund the Murdoch revolution! When Freeview came along there were enough channels and now predominantly use catch up and YouTube. Just need to tell the BBC to FO now!

  • free_musick Free Musick (@free_musick) reported

    Zoomers are depressed because they can never know the joy of watching Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps on a 6” screen with the Freeview box because there’s no alternative and you can’t get the internet or a phone signal at your dads gaff

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie (@Brekkietweets) reported

    @adamhale_ @IanRedman11 @FreeviewTV The issue is though that HD space is only limited due to inaction by Freeview. Even with losing that extra capacity to 5G had a long term plan been put in place when COM7/8 were launched we should have a platform now with space for around 30 HD channels and the rest in SD.
