    @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

  • 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)

  • 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.

    @CallumBruceSNP At least they are not down to watching Freeview , that would be the end .

  • GarethBarkley Gareth Barkley (@GarethBarkley) reported

    Why is changing channels on my Humax Freeview box so slow? The interface literally has one job.

  • richtea78 richtea78 (@richtea78) reported

    @p4G3y30 @MartinSLewis If you watch or record TV on any channel via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat), you need to be covered by a TV Licence. You don’t need a TV Licence if you never watch live on any channel, TV service or streaming service, or use BBC iPlayer*. On any device.

    @TalkingPicsTV Best channel on TV.Hopefully it never loses its slot on Freeview like a couple of other much missed channels.

    @TheDaiLlew It took me so long to get out of being a Virgin customer. I eventually got out of the grind by getting a satellite dish installed via BT (as a new customer for the a year) then buying a Freeview box. Now I just have to get the Internet from somewhere and can shop around. Pob lwc!

    @BlitzExternals Hi, there. If the TV isn't letting you accept the Freeview Play Terms and Conditions, check to see if there's a software update available for the TV. Otherwise, you'll need to contact the TVs manufacturer for further support. Fraser

  • leon_dave_smith Leon Smith ❄️ (@leon_dave_smith) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I am currently without @SkyHelpTeam as it down to my block management to deal with, so I’m trying to watch freeview via my tv but it is not picking up BBC or ITV, can you suggest what else I can do

  • ukdtt UK Terrestrial TV (@ukdtt) reported

    Channel 12, QUEST, has been added to COM6 (was unlisted [Service 0x6ac0]) #Freeview

  • rachelgmarks Sir Rachel Marks 🦟(imagine it's blue) (@rachelgmarks) reported

    @joeb_EY Analog TV has, I think, now been switched off everywhere, so you'll need to access Freeview. Check with your neighbours whether they get a Freeview signal - mountains can be pesky (bad enough where I am with gentle hills!). I solved it by getting a Roku Express to convert...

  • continueplayer2 Ricky Mason (@continueplayer2) reported

    @Aine090676 @channel5_tv England not working via satellite but is via freeview
