  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • PrentonTommy Tommy H 🦁🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #BackBoris (@PrentonTommy) reported

    @Gambol_Putty @jimharringtonkk An Internet phone costs under £20. I never get into any contract where I haven't planned forward for that amount of time. No one needs Sky there's Freeview.or a £25 firestick

  • andythelodge andy (@andythelodge) reported from Clifton, England

    @1doublehandful @RacingTV Thought it went off FREEVIEW last year Sent me a @amazon firestick which is nothing but trouble

  • Cidergender Ciderboy (@Cidergender) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice cannot get Freeview sports channel help

  • GavNix Gavin Nixon☘️🌈 🇺🇦✊🏼#FBPPR #FBPE #SlavaUkraini (@GavNix) reported

    @Saraita101 Linear TV - and Radio, whether from an actual radio or Freeview on a TV - is vital for those easily marginalised, cut-off and lonely. I'm particularly thinking of people in care homes, folds and such-like. As no OO or Twelfth fan, I feel it's a bad decision from @BBCnireland .

  • SJW5678 Daniel Franks (@SJW5678) reported

    @netgemtv Netgem via TalkTalk, the remote is poor not comfortable keys not spaced out and no user guide to what all the buttons do. Sound is poor, no PVR only 1 tuner, often programs clash, interface looks ok but it is just a revamp of the channel 100 freeview play guide.

  • sweeney_tj sweeneytj 💙 (@sweeney_tj) reported

    @AngharaDavies @Angharad_78 I had a service for UK freeview TV but didn’t renew this month because it was expensive and kept dropping the connection.

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    @isleofmanbbctv @hischeekiness But not (yet) from an Isle of Man transmitter. If you are *currently* receiving CBeebies HD on Freeview, you're picking up a signal from the UK, as COM7 does not broadcast on any of the island's transmitters. CBBC HD on the other hand does, it's on the PSB3 multiplex.

  • Busterdayoge Booboo (@Busterdayoge) reported

    @MarkSteynOnline @Mikenotsoyeadon @GBNEWS Not working on freeview anymore

  • LordWobbly Lord Wobbly 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@LordWobbly) reported

    @fmdiscr @BeckettUnite It should never have been temporary though. Many people need that money desperately. The jubilee nonsense (and its extraordinary cost) was completely unnecessary and could've easily been dealt with as a one off event at Westminster Abbey, televised on a single freeview channel.

    @aldetect @GBNEWS Live streaming seems down but radio is working. Or freeview etc
