    @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

  • 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

    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.

  • 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)

  • 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.)

  • 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.

    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

  • eattrashgofast oíche howl-na 🎃 (@eattrashgofast) reported

    @WesleyDolan i like to pore over all the tv film guides in detail, see what's on saorview, what's on freeview, what's on channels i have to tune in, the itvs, channel4s, channel5s, then finally switch on the tv to where blazing saddles has been on for 10 minutes and flop down in front of that

  • mycatisjack Jack Is My Cat (@mycatisjack) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice The catchup part of freeview keeps asking about accepting the terms and conditions. I press that button which then returns me to the home screen. Basically I cannot get bbc, itv, channel4 or 5, etc catchup programmes. Please help

  • MrGarry2u MrGarry2u (@MrGarry2u) reported

    @Bomberherald My sister's been watching some freeview channel that plays nothing BUT crap Christmas films.... Since about July. 😵‍💫

  • sb00020 Sam Brett (@sb00020) reported

    @LGUK @Cynic1311 What a joke. So the 2019 and 2021 models support freeview play and all4, but the 2020s don’t. Congratulations on losing a customer and I’ll be sure not to recommend LG

  • haydenraw Hayden Raw (@haydenraw) reported

    Would be cool if @vodafoneNZ did a software update on the VodafoneTV units just prior to them being **** down that turned them into an untethered Freeview/internet TV hub.

  • Coolsambob Sam Cannon (@Coolsambob) reported

    The best thing about having my phone contract and home internet with @ThreeUK is that when it goes down in my area I get to sit in the dark with a cold cup of tea and watch Freeview.

  • The_LizMarshall Liz Marshall 🌈♐🦄🙋🏻‍♀️ (@The_LizMarshall) reported

    @CharlieREBH76 @4Viewers @E4Tweets That's terrible. I missed the last season too because of the weirdly bad airing of it and could never find it online to stream. Such a shame as it's an amazing series w/ nothing else like it on freeview 😔

  • WanderingSadu Harry Mincherley (@WanderingSadu) reported

    Not had Freeview for years due to aerial issues. Daily tsunami of garbage on there.

    Jeez 1330 and it's already getting dark!! Cold and windy feels like more snow on it's way. NO WAY OF GETTING WEATHER ALERTS OR FORECAST DUE TO LACK OF TV SIGNAL DUE TO ONGOING FREEVIEW TRANSMITTER FIRE
