  • RobbieCub7 Rob Morgans (@RobbieCub7) reported from Margam, Wales

    @FreeviewTV @fb2070 My mother has had the same problem. Didn’t have any channels, so I retuned the Freeview box. HD channels are now missing. Can you advise please?

  • dave_maydew Dave Maydew MW0DCM (@dave_maydew) reported from Tonyrefail, Wales

    @FreeviewAdvice @arqiva More disappointed, but I suppose I've got to accept it, after totally cutting the cord. I do have a tech question though. I'm using the Plex Media Server for Freeview, but the supplied EPG by Gracenote is terrible, is there a XML file of the one you use on the Android app

  • KAK_Tweets Krys Cross! Cha Cha Real Smooth (@KAK_Tweets) reported from Treorchy, Wales

    @flickeringflxme I’ve never seen that one myself but somehow my granddad ended up buying it for himself which was made weirder by the fact he only had freeview so didn’t even have Disney Channel. He loved it though

  • 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

  • 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.

  • DigitalJonathan Jonathan Phillips (@DigitalJonathan) reported

    @LeeMcilwaine @TobyWoody There you go. You didn’t have all the facts, jumped to a patronising conclusion and still shared a solution. The problem was with Freeview. Not our TV settings ;)

  • HiberniaLife Mary White (@HiberniaLife) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi there. I know this is not your issue but someone i know wants to get RTE Irish tv in northern ireland but only a couple of channels are coming through. What can she do to pick them all up? Are some Irish channels on UK Freeview also?

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie (@Brekkietweets) reported

    Just a real shame that @BBCRedButton is only in SD on Freeview as the picture quality is very poor - poorer than usual IMO. They could easily have provided live coverage in HD by cutting the hours of @CBBC HD for the fortnight.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @Rob_casely_ Hi Rob, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with the Freeview Play service. We would recommend checking to see if there are any software updates available for your equipment. If you do have any further issues, can you please DM us your postcode and house number?

  • xdddreaded Aiden (@xdddreaded) reported

    When will we be getting camera/freeview options in @PlayApex? I wanna be able to get some cool aerial shots for some graphics n' ****, and rn timing your inspect animation with taking a delayed screenshot, not to mention at max settings, is just a pain in the anushole. I need!

  • blades4ever michelle gilbey x (@blades4ever) reported

    @bt_uk The issue is the internet, but also means I can’t watch tv only freeview channels

  • craigsteeps Craig Steeples (@craigsteeps) reported

    @LouLCC Eurosport used to be on freeview so maybe worth a check. The lad who passed was best friends with a girl 2 doors down from us and he was always in their garden, didn't know him, but when they passed they always said hello. Very sad as seems he was pushed and couldn't swim 😭😭

  • JackMars85 BatZie 🇮🇪 (@JackMars85) reported

    @Nicky_Harrison_ @GBNEWS I know. Wonder if no support for my phone (s6). A real shame as every other news outlet app seems to work. Really wanted to watch GBNews online, especially as I refuse to pay BBC licence fee and thus have no Freeview/Sky/etc TV service.

  • pwb413 Astro Boy (@pwb413) reported

    @DuncanUK45 Let's not forget the free crowd booster tickets! The 100 will only attract "locals" who are close to the preferred Test Match quality grounds. Remote County supporters have little interest in travelling to this watered down T20 series - like me watch on Sky or occasional Freeview

  • bella4307 katinka harley (@bella4307) reported

    I havent watched freeview for 10 years now exxept the odd, news.. All because Of the. ****. An bull. Story of my Thumb print and how guilty i was Presumed i paid. A dear price for it byDoing voluntary service anyway
