  • 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)

    @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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.)

  • 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.

    @TomDGreen @scottygb Actually - my bad - I read Freesat as Freeview. It's on Freeview for sure.

  • Philj8B Phil James (@Philj8B) reported

    @loodofsquit There is enough **** on Freeview without paying Sky for extra **** 💩

  • Artemisapphire Tansy Kelly Robson (@Artemisapphire) reported

    Gawping at Freeview while eating brekkie & this Holby City script is utterly dreadful (well, rote, I could write it in my sleep: "Bob: Hey. Chas: Hey, Bob. (Awkward silence). Bob: We need to talk" 🙄) BUT CAN I WRITE MY OWN AWFUL ONE AT ALL? No At least this guy WROTE one

  • ThunderCats_Ho_ ThunderCats Ho (@ThunderCats_Ho_) reported

    @Grownmangrumble That's a conspiracy theory. I'm left-wing and support #DefundTheBBC movement. The BBC model of taxation is out-of-date, as there are multiple alternatives like Sky, Netflix, Amazon, YouTube, Freeview, BritBox etc. Let customers choose what they want to watch and pay for.

  • KellyEdwards85 Kelly Edwards (@KellyEdwards85) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice i've had no freeview TV in Southampton area, SO14, since Wednesday last week. There is a picture and channels but not watchable due to poor signal cutting in and out. Please advise. Ive retuned many times and not resolved. ☹

  • AaronLancs Aaron Read (@AaronLancs) reported

    @MarkandDrama The moment that the BBC loses the central funding from the LF is when I predict that Freeview and Freesat are doomed to death*. Yet these idiots don't seem to realise that the UK's main PSB is the core to the "free" stuff they guzzell down. *I'd give it five years.

  • Evoqueist Evoqueistidor 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇺🇸 (@Evoqueist) reported from Upton, England

    @101Maurice We get EE 4G but it's pretty patchy I live in a suburban area a couple of miles from Poole in Dorset and can't get a freeView signal so have to use Freesat....

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    42 DAYS OF NO #Freeview but no one really gives a **** do they, not even #Freeview

  • _superhans Hannah (@_superhans) reported

    @PaulBobbiFett Evening Paul, hope your freeview situation is sorted now? Just having a quiet weekend as I’ve got an essay due next week eek! It’s such a catchy song isn’t it. Poor Sarah 😔
