  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 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

    @CourtTVUK Sucks you have deserted those on freeview and closed the channel down

  • itspetersanford LegendPeterSanford (@itspetersanford) reported

    @tomhfh I have rescanned my freeview box and labelled GBNEWS as ******** TOM. Just to ensure I never watch the Channel until Tom has got a gig more in line with his skill set. The Beano? Viz?

  • Nick72507205 Nick 💙 (@Nick72507205) reported

    @JulieCourtTV Hi Julie, its saying over here in the UK that Court TV on Freeview Ch89 - This service has now closed. Just wondered if you know anything as there are still the channel listings, but no service. Kind regards, Nick.

  • OThreens Dave is 🅱️ald (@OThreens) reported

    Got my mom a cheap Freeview HD box for her bedroom. Problem 1: as I plugged in the antenna cable the board in the Freeview box fell loose, so I had to void the warranty, open it up, and find the board was just not secured in place at all, even though there was a screw hole.

  • AndrewCLeach Andrew C Leach (@AndrewCLeach) reported

    @afneil Will you have subtitles? I watched the trailer on Freeview. No subtitles, and the signal didn't cater for them ("Feature not available with current signal"). Disappointed.

  • UKRichpixie Richard Heading (@UKRichpixie) reported

    Dear stonk, GB news launches on the 13th of June, freeview channel 236. ****. Penguin.
