  • 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.

  • 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.

    @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)

  • 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

  • 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

    Anyone in here that lives in Yorkshire and can tell me if you're also having problems with your TV pixelating on Freeview?

  • raspberrytalk AKA The Raspberry (@raspberrytalk) reported

    @GrandadAlbert @BBCNews don't drink, don't smoke, don't have sky or any subscription rubbish, just freeview, can't afford take-outs. Disabled and wife is my carer. We can't afford to turn the heating on or eat properly. So, ... next bunch of stupid suggestions?

  • darrenbai73 Darrenbai73 (@darrenbai73) reported

    @BBCRedButton Is the bbc red button down not able to access on freeview here. Can u clarify

  • Kolakube_5 Emma (@Kolakube_5) reported

    @UncannyVal No I think it’s just freeview being ****. Not entirely sure. Can only get bbc, itv and c4 and their digital channels for some reason and nothing else. The channels weren’t working and retuning just lost them altogether?!

  • twarrestrial r (@twarrestrial) reported

    @rugbyleagueontv the SD on freeview is poor, the better quality on the laptop is good

  • Martin8Mostly MartinTea 3.5% #ToriesOut 💙 (@Martin8Mostly) reported

    Freeview 65 The Goodies fix the NHS

  • VedekJames James Davies (@VedekJames) reported

    @jimwaterson @NickGTC Freeview's delay was pretty bad.

  • LeafNetSco Blake (Leaf Networks 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿) (@LeafNetSco) reported

    @steeleyp_ @BigJohnnyArcher Found out it's a user as a backup for Freeview in case your broadband is down
