    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.

    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)

  • PaulTreacyLFC Paul Treacy. JFT97 (@PaulTreacyLFC) reported

    There seems to be a new Freeview channel springing up every month now. But it is just more of the same regurgitated stuff and with as many adverts (feat 30% white folk) as there is actual programmes. #Crap

  • MediaBoyUK Media Boy UK (@MediaBoyUK) reported

    UPDATE: Information from Mike (@a516digital). -QVC has confirmed its HD channels are leaving Freeview, but viewers can access high quality streams of all its channels through the red button on channel 16. -Together is licensed to launch a DTAS service - i.e. streamed channel.

    @paulburton73 @Forces_TV I can never get a signal on freeview so missed out on it

  • FWestfield Francis Westfield (@FWestfield) reported

    My TV aerial feels lonely, first the analogue signal gone, now no digital freeview signal for two days. You would think they would have a backup.

    @deevincentday Hi Dee, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview Reception. So, we can investigate this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • wemblystiggs wemblystiggs 🏳️‍🌈 (@wemblystiggs) reported

    Noticed after that most of my non Freeview channels were missing. Called yesterday and was told by someone on your customer services that I wasn't cancelled but recontacted. Passed from pillar to post and hung up on (left on hold for an hour)

  • kesgreen Kes Green (@kesgreen) reported

    @Forces_TV So many good shows. I've spent more time watching your channel than almost all the others on Freeview. I feared the worst when I saw that you were on the COM 7 multiplex. What a shame. Forces TV > 5G. Thanks for the good times.

  • Argos_Online Argos (@Argos_Online) reported

    @andybegbiea Hi Andy, you're speaking with Clem this afternoon. I'm sorry to learn that your Freeview recorder box didn't run an initial set up. Please return it to store with your proof of purchase and our store staff will be happy to help you further. -Clem

  • StaughtonMoore DJ Moo (@StaughtonMoore) reported

    @Channel4 terrible clicking noise on the England match Live on freeview. Seems to be on the 4od stream too

  • SimonVisitor Simon Bridger (@SimonVisitor) reported

    It's been announced the BBC News HD Channel will dissappear from freeview, however the service will broadcast in SD only on channel 231. This is happening due to the sale of COM7 to EE for their 5G network. I'm none to happy about this, putting it mildly.
