  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

    Why is the BBC World Service so hard to obtain EXCEPT in the one area which is explicitly not the target audience? In the UK the World Service is available 24/7 on DAB and I think Freeview and Freesat/Sky.

  • 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

  • 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)

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

    @MarcusChang1990 @virginmedia I would check out other providers Marcus, I downgraded from 200mb b/b to 100mb, maxit TV down to lowest mixit tv (less channels than freeview) and lowest phone and my price went up instead of down. I hope you have more luck. #StaySafe

  • Nintendologist Jon Bennett (@Nintendologist) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Over the past few days I’ve had to retune Freeview multiple times a day otherwise “no signal” keeps happening. Based in North Oxfordshire. Any known problems with the Oxford transmitter please?

  • Traceyspacey1 Tracey Who am I? 💙 (@Traceyspacey1) reported from Sutton in Ashfield, England

    Anyone else having trouble with freeview?

  • Nick72507205 Nick 💙 (@Nick72507205) reported

    @JulieCourtTV Hi Julie, its saying over here in the UK that Court TV on Freeview Ch89 - This service has now closed. Just wondered if you know anything as there are still the channel listings, but no service. Kind regards, Nick.

  • DarthElliot . (@DarthElliot) reported

    @Cuppa378 It’s free because they’re contractually obligated to provide it for freeview. As they were happy to show the EL final in full resolution on YouTube 3 days back, not doing the same for the CL as the more important competition is pathetic.

  • Northern_Steve Steve, just Steve (@Northern_Steve) reported from Manchester, England

    @mickmcfc1 I'll never know. I've pulled the cable out. BBC Parliament on freeview only from now on. They talk absolute bollocks but rarely about football. I'm in!

  • wilford_ken ken wilford (@wilford_ken) reported

    Is Freeview down? #freeview #OutageUpdate #tvoutage

  • nemalki Jeff Harris (@nemalki) reported

    @breanimator Ironically, WarnerMedia is INCREASING Cartoon Network's footprint in those markets where Disney is abandoning cable/satellite/Freeview because they still believe there's still a market for them.

    @falcor1970 Hi Nigel, I am sorry to hear that you have issues with your Freeview reception. Can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number so we can look into this for you? Thanks, Dylan.

  • nicholasclark13 Nicholas Clark (@nicholasclark13) reported

    @FreeviewTV any sign of a Freeview streaming stick? Would make so much sense for poor signal areas or houses with thick walls!
