  • 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.)

  • 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)

    @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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Scoutdwriter Scout Dawson (@Scoutdwriter) reported

    @TimHoelscherX They likely mean cable or network TV, which when you think about it, is accurate. I don't watch TV (I don't have Freeview set up, nor do I have Sky, TiVO or Virgin Cable etc) but I do have Netflix/Prime, which are websites/apps.

  • cake_and_ate_it CAD monkey (@cake_and_ate_it) reported

    @Wulf_Helm Probably on one of those channels well down the list on freeview...

  • Unpaid_Carer Unpaid_Carer❣ (@Unpaid_Carer) reported

    Daughter's TV has switched off this morning! Changed the fuse in the plug thinking may just be that but nothing! Changed the HDMI cable! Nothing! Disconnected her console to show Freeview TV, still nothing! FFS! 🤬🤬 Short term solution - she uses TV in lounge in her bedroom

  • angelneptustar angie (@angelneptustar) reported

  • Richard12189105 richard (@Richard12189105) reported

    @ArgosHelpers I ordered and collected a LG 50 Inch 50UP77006LB Smart 4K UHD LED HDR Freeview TV yesterday and thought I had added the special offer LG SK1D 100W Sound bar, please can you help. I can provide my order reference

  • nemo20000 nemo (@nemo20000) reported

    @haroldthimbleby Everything fine until I switched to a mono radio station on Freeview, at which point the sound stopped and stayed off until the TV was rebooted. Weird. Rang Sony. “Never heard of that before” they said. “Try using the RCA audio output sockets”. I rewired my cable, it then worked.
