  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • BarrieDarke Barrie Darke (@BarrieDarke) reported

    @gordon_dudgeon @profsked @edglasgow59 I read you can delete the BBC from your Freeview by having a piss down the back of your TV. Haven't tried it myself, but let me know how you get on.

  • AmigaBoing AmigaBoing.net Blog (@AmigaBoing) reported

    @FreeviewTV why is Barnoldswick, BB18 5BX, Lancashire still getting a limited Freeview Service, (I think its West Martin Transmitter) - Analogue was switched off decades ago? (asking for a friend) - He doesnt even get @ChallengeTV or @TalkingPicsTV channels🤬

  • Reed88Mr Lewis Reed (@Reed88Mr) reported

    Anyone else’s freeview completely shut down?? @FreeviewTV #freeviewdown

  • Wendy_redRobin Wendy redRobin (@Wendy_redRobin) reported

    Any problems reported with BBC West transmissions to Gloucestershire? Ever since the thunderstorm this afternoon have no signal for BBC West from Mendip transmitter other Freeview channels from Ridge Hill transmitter are fine @FreeviewAdvice

  • Mike_SmithUk1 Mike Smith (@Mike_SmithUk1) reported

    @EllieRSmith1 I'm with sky now, I want to cancel there satellite subscription. I'm tempted just to use the freeview tv

  • WatsonJKnights Watson J.Knights (@WatsonJKnights) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice No freeview signal in Surrey. Well I say none there is a smattering of channels that have badly broken up pictures that could be classed as art.

  • ChrisDod1 solarSteve (@ChrisDod1) reported

    There's a new TV news station on the block starting soon on Freeview etc. GB News. To show your support for a healthy alternative to the usual BBC/ITN/Ch4/Sky News channel, search "New British... " on Facebook

  • Ninjafairy2 Wendy-Jane #3569 #ActuallyAutistic #FBIW #FBPE (@Ninjafairy2) reported

    @SpudFromDublin @Hookademus @MattAndo63 Sorry to jump in ... but our BT box is connected to our rooftop aerial. My older freeview tv in other room is too for freeview channels (& only 21 tv channels at that) . Signal goes down quite often. No dish. No cable.

  • hischeekiness CheekyMcB (@hischeekiness) reported

    @Mark56623345 @a516digital The OFCOM EPG rules brought in in January this year mean PSB channels have to be in the Top 24 EPG slots at least, so 124 is the absolute lowest for Sky BBC3 broadcast return. The rules coming in were why all the Freeview channels shuffled down 1 for BBC4 getting 24 in Scotland.

  • Mike2677024465 Mike_in_Yorkshire (@Mike2677024465) reported

    @argentstwarrio1 @Jessrocks71 @GBNEWS No freeview signal where I am, hoping it will be on sky/freesat soon.
