  • 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.

    @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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.)

  • 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)

    @dr_monkeyface @Superproprep @GuildOfMakers next door tried to pay me just for retuning their freeview tv! To them it's hiring in a skill they didn't have, to me it's *press two buttons and turn down their money*

  • Paws_SandyClaws SoftPawsSandyClaws (@Paws_SandyClaws) reported

    @gemmaahutton I can really empathize🙋 I'm in Ireland and watch on a Freeview box. Only have crap internet, so can't watch 1 channel & record a different one. No Sky, Netflix or the like 🙄 And cos I'm not in the UK, no BBC player, etc. Still, I make do

  • DrBrowningSleep Dr Browning | Sleep Therapist (@DrBrowningSleep) reported

    I will be talking to @RobbieRinder today at 6:15pm on @TalkTV about CBT-I and the new App Sleepio available on the NHS to treat insomnia viewers can watch via 📺 Freeview 237, Sky 526, Virgin 627 #CBT

  • EmmaLRowan Emma Rowan (@EmmaLRowan) reported

    Help! So I’ve moved into a new house. My internet is set up and working but when I go onto my TV and try to access my catch up channels it will only pick up BBC and ITV? Any ideas? I need channel 4?!! #Freeview #OnDemand #Channel4 @virginmedia

  • FoxfordMr Mr. Eric Foxford (@FoxfordMr) reported

    @MrJohnNicolson @terrychristian @Channel4 She’s lying. Selling off Channel 4 is prologue to selling off the BBC. Only rich Tories will benefit from it. The poor will have to pay more for subscription TV than they ever would for the BBC, ITV C4, C5 and Freeview. All that for around 47p a day licence fee.

  • sharon_hall1977 sharon hall (@sharon_hall1977) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice stop moving the channels around it's doing my head in! Freeview is ****!

  • dearaunty .Dear Aunty (@dearaunty) reported

    @matthewmoloney Awful movie - next time its on freeview i will give it a whirl - I'm not promising though!

  • rickyblack1970 ricky black the BAM (@rickyblack1970) reported

    2 absolutely horrible teams in a scottish cup final today. Wont be watching, looking like it will be the sunderland game for me.. unless i can find something better to watch.. on a plus side though, EVERY BBC channel has disappeared from my freeview ☝

  • ErinMiddlemass2 Erin Middlemass (@ErinMiddlemass2) reported

    …as well as numerous add on packages and this money is being completely wasted. The customer service is absolutely shocking. I have relied on now tv rather than freeview etc for television in my home and am now left with nothing even though I’m paying upwards of £25 a month.

    @AuthorSJB @SophyRidgeSky @nadhimzahawi Freeview- damn autocorrect
