  • 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

  • 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.)

  • jonnyhern Jonathan (@jonnyhern) reported from Pontypool, Wales

    @Thomoli @PhilipsCare_UK I’ve been waiting 8 weeks for same issue not worked for me since I bought my TV. I dont have an aeriel tho just satellite cable connected & internet but no catch up aps work or freeview

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    @58paulb @Bigdogdigs Always used to buy Panasonic. Then I had a hard drive fail on a freeview box. Panasonic were no help at all, because they didn’t want me to repair it myself.

  • batrobi Goingincognito 3.5% FBPE 🖤🇪🇺🇮🇹🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈 (@batrobi) reported

    @Philips No unfortunately. Lots of going around in circles. Searched the web & it seems lots of people are having same problem with aspect ratio in smart/on demand/freeview play mode, and no solution. Settings changes don’t apply. Maybe a bug on your OS? I returned and went for Samsung 😢

  • chrisalfw Chris Williams (@chrisalfw) reported

    @PhilWilliams These channels have not said no, they have said they havent been approached as yet. I opposed the creation of the Premier League but i support this Super League. Inevitable it will be on a streaming provider rather than Freeview, Cable or Satellite.

  • rkid_fry Fry💧 (@rkid_fry) reported

    @stfu_nobodyaskd i ain't watch that either ***** I'm poor i had freeview TV in the UK

  • CanveyViews Canvey Views (@CanveyViews) reported

    Trying to work out what causes the interence on UHF 21 474 MHz during the day on Canvey Island. Can't all be down to atmospherics. Would be interested to hear if anyone has any ideas about this issue. It seems to make the Kent freeview comux unwatchable here during daylight hours

  • Barfette Barfette (@Barfette) reported

    @helen_spirit1 Only watched couple times usually watch Sky News/ Freeview, signal been bad. BBC 1 is GHASTLY in my opinion, but I happenend upon GMB the actual day that Piers Morgan walked out. I now find it absolute garbage. Same league IMO as Schofield, Willoughby, Hammond and O'Leary.

  • MarkOknee gordon sundog (@MarkOknee) reported

    LineAcre says that on an important news day... blah blah blah we're continuing on the red button' Not on ******* Freeview, yo ain't Same licence fee, **** for bollocks service not that I'd necessarily have watched, but it's the principle, of having ******* money off me for 0

  • Nixed81 Nicholas O (@Nixed81) reported

    @FreeSports_TV Very up and down signal here in Buckinghamshire on freeview.

  • Stevemanics Steve (@Stevemanics) reported

    @AndrewC_53 @RealGaryWebster I've never had Sky and never will. They did the same to TV series for years - wait for it to become popular on terrestrial (showing my age) and Freeview, then price them out of renewing to try to force people onto Sky if they want to continue the show.

  • Davidp1103 Davidp (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @Complyorcry @Back_Two_Mee To @TalkTalk they are okay but the broadband is not a good as VM but it's okay; it cut the monthly bill in half. I have since dropped their tv service and bought a freeview recorder. Monthly bill for broadband/phone £38
