  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 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

  • CardinalBiggle2 Cardinal Biggles McFerryFace #FBPE 3.5% 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 (@CardinalBiggle2) reported

    We're fed up with the @skytv service 20 mins of every hour is adverts, & too much of the Sky output is crappy Reality TV We pay a premium over Freeview for really cheap n nasty US low rent garbage & history docs devoid of history So we're trying out Netflix. Quite like it.

  • drtoriaredfern Toria Redfern (@drtoriaredfern) reported

    Never mind. Sky Arts doesn't work on the Freeview app. OF COURSE it doesn't.

  • GrahamWatts15 Northern Lad 💙 (@GrahamWatts15) reported

    @virginmedia The worst customer service in the world and a company that has always neglected long time customers over new ones. The costs are also astronomical including charging customers to deliver freeview channels in every TV package

  • haseldinelucy Lucy Haseldine (@haseldinelucy) reported

    something that made me really sad as a child was that all my friends watched disney channel but we only had freeview so i could never get involved with any conversations about favourite TV shows :’)

  • DavidBridger David Bridger #BlackLivesMatter (@DavidBridger) reported

    @emsquare_d @CyclingLain We can't get a signal downstairs so watch Freeview upstairs (which we're happy with) and Virgin downstairs. It's that or Sky, which we can't bring ourselves to get because Murdoch. Virgin's business ethos pisses us off, but between that and Sky it's the lesser of two evils.

  • DrAndrewR Andrew (@DrAndrewR) reported

    @TheRealRevK @LGUK Sony are at it too. After buying the TV you have to accept the terms and conditions of data processing or it won’t let you watch anything. To this day I haven’t tuned the thing for freesat or freeview as I refuse to accept the awful terms.

  • julie_scan Dr. Julie Scanlon (@julie_scan) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi, My TV is displaying ‘no signal’ this evening. Is there a problem with Freeview ? Or perhaps it is something else at my end. Thanks.

  • LeeThacker2 Lee Thacker (@LeeThacker2) reported

    @FauxChisels @_Nightingales Can anybody help? I don't have Freeview or Sky so I downloaded the Sky Go app on my laptop but it's not working. I tried watching The Art Of Architecture to test it out but it says Sky Go is currently unavailable. It's looking like I won't get to see the film😕

  • Ewahthethird Ed Johnson (@Ewahthethird) reported

    Thought I'd put the tv on for a change....channels aren't tuned apparently. Erm. Built in freeview on my TV. Tried auto tune but it's not finding anything. Any ideas?? #idiot #ineverwatchit

  • RG2Gas ⚽ RG2 Gas ⚽ (@RG2Gas) reported

    @KeithBrookman The atmosphere that night was unreal, you knew it was a big game when there were Police helicopters flying overhead in case of trouble as you walked down Freeview Road. The noise and surge when we scored was epic!
