  • 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

  • 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.

    @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.)

  • 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

    Anyone else finding that their #Freeview signal has substantially weakened 🤔 Found recently that terrestrial channels are inexplicably disappearing from our smart TV. Not sure if they've weakened the signal to save energy. We're in South Birmingham.

  • FiredupOnline We Are Firedup.Online (@FiredupOnline) reported

    £50+ a month for @skytv so decided to buy a smart tv and get freeview & Netflix instead for 1/4 the price. 15+ yrs a sky customer and not one call to ask why, just a letter to tell me to reset up DD #terriblecustomerservice Adios

  • jus_leese Justin Leese 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💙🇺🇦🌻 (@jus_leese) reported

    @RestoreTVHelp I’ll post your response into the Facebook Group in question. There are about 6 people reporting recent problems with Freeview through an aerial in Llantwit Major. I’ve put a generic postcode for the town into your checker and it’s an area which should have received your postcards

  • cottam_anthony Anthony Cottam 🇬🇧🐺 (@cottam_anthony) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I was on normal Freeview TV and watch @SkyNews and it just went off twice but it is back now. Sorry tagged the wrong service

  • Stiggylou Sam (@Stiggylou) reported

    High tide and lost all my freeview channels. I probably need to get a fixed aerial at some point. First World problems.

  • Homer19721 Homer1972 🇬🇧 (@Homer19721) reported

    @SDMATTHEWS1 Reigate - in hotel down south. It’s usually channel 236 on freeview

  • DBD365 Paul Day (@DBD365) reported

  • r_usefultractor 🏳️‍⚧️ reallyusefultractor 🇺🇦 (@r_usefultractor) reported

    We just got a new tv and what the actual **** is Samsung freeview? I'm pretty sure it's generated by bots because there's a whole *** Teletubbies channel and it has episodes from the original show and fan made animations stolen from YouTube
