  • 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.)

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

    @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

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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

  • uncriticalsimon Simon 🤖 (@uncriticalsimon) reported from Newport, Wales

    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.

  • infoproperty Andy Norman (@infoproperty) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi Freeview we have an apartment block in Malton, North Yorkshire. All the TVs have been retuned but the signal is weak and on most of the TVs the picture or the sound is distorted. How can we resolve this problem as it is affecting our business... thanks

  • EdgyNathan Nathan Edgy (@EdgyNathan) reported

    @MattHaighPoetry It’***** Cwmbran too! Worst I had my side in llantrisant was my freeview box resetting

  • SandraRankin_UK Sandra (@SandraRankin_UK) reported

    @thursdaysangelx Virgin Media and Freeview also have it but it would depend on what content they buy into. From what I have seen it tends to be older shows. You never know, it’s not a channel I watch that much.

  • Ellroy678 💀 Skellroy ☠ (@Ellroy678) reported

    @Kaimetsu_Fgc I had the freeview run off lmao so any re runs I could get through CITV etc was what I watched, Beyblade was my **** back in the day

  • laotian12in Laotian12inNumberverse (@laotian12in) reported

    A glitch just happened on my TV: Despite having a small channel package on Freeview Play, all the Freeview channels appeared out of nowhere on my tv, and they all have no signal.

  • sufc4ever leghc (@sufc4ever) reported

    @robertlargan Freeview and DAB radio would be good too, especially poor in Chinley area

  • choctopus Leah Mountford (@choctopus) reported

    Go to put the tv on for some background noise and uuuuh the whole of freeview is down apparently. The TV literally doesn't know if there are channels even

  • pidgpie Chris,,,, (@pidgpie) reported

    @SkySportsNews all the best Jeff not the show it was, the recent format is dull and sky removing it off freeview was a epic fail

  • JohnT1062 John Turner (@JohnT1062) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice The freeview signal in my area is very poor today and has been for the last 24hrs. Is there aprobelm with the local transmitter? My Postcode NR31 9
