  • 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.

  • 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)

    @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.)

  • 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.

  • AGildedEye A Gilded Eye 🌈 (@AGildedEye) reported

    @Jules_Clarke Paramount network on Freeview (I've only got freeview).

  • Steven__C Steven C 🌳 (@Steven__C) reported

    @calexico65 Where I am there was always a poor signal back in the day. I remember my dad had a 500ft high aerial nailed to the side of the house at one point. Now it’s on Freeview but tbh I never watch it. In my defence I rarely watch NI News either.

  • DocLbj Doc. LBJ (@DocLbj) reported

    @afneil Any chance of a full catch up service on the web or YouTube or in an app? I only find snippets and would like to catch up on whole shows like iPlayer. Also any chance of a Freeview HD channel?

  • James_J_Marlow James Marlow ג’יימס מרלו (@James_J_Marlow) reported

    @JakeWSimons Was taken off British freeview TV a few years ago. Surprised it was still available in the US. Can think of at least one other network that should also be removed from standard freeview in the UK.

  • suzysasha elizabeth scott 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@suzysasha) reported

    Blimey Sat night TV is dire when you only have Freeview channels. Tried watching #coyoteugly. What a pile of crap! Gonna go watch paint dry.

  • Goldflazz1986 Strangeways»here»we»come»🚚 (@Goldflazz1986) reported

    The man who invented Freeview Play has died, a memorial service will take place tomorrow at 10am, it will be repeated an hour later, and also next Wednesday at 12:30 and again on Saturday at 3:45.

  • Statto_74 Andy Rockall (@Statto_74) reported

    I only have Freeview HD but cannot believe the difference in clarity. Have chosen to watch Sweden v Poland which is on ITV 4 in SD it’s crap compared to ITV HD.

  • Elizabe04647609 Elizabeth (@Elizabe04647609) reported

    @GBNEWS @graydominic4 Unable to receive GB news on 236 on Freeview. Tuned the tv still cannot get 236. Anyone else having this problem?

  • DearPerdita Dear Perdita (@DearPerdita) reported

    @GBNEWS The freeview signal isn’t strong enough in our area, will you be getting a firestick app so it can be watched it that way?

  • VLeggeri ViaggiareLeggeri (@VLeggeri) reported

    Dear @FreeviewTV , You know how bad it feels, when you discover cat poo in the middle of your living room? Today I found GB News on Freeview, on my TV. Same feeling. Can you please clean up? @GBNews_Fails
