  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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.)

  • jonnyhern Jonathan (@jonnyhern) reported from Pontypool, Wales

    @Thomoli @PhilipsCare_UK I’ve been waiting 8 weeks for same issue not worked for me since I bought my TV. I dont have an aeriel tho just satellite cable connected & internet but no catch up aps work or freeview

  • 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.

  • basingbot basingbot (@basingbot) reported

    I am watching on Freeview, the sound is terrible, sounds like you’ve got cardboard boxes on your heads, even in the studio! I can only just hear you even with the sound full volume! I turn to other channels and it’s fine and I have to turn the volume down! Please sort it !!!!!!!!

  • markvonrichards Marko Von Richards🤡 (@markvonrichards) reported

    On a freeview HD channel. Just what kind of idiot buys from them to justify the waste of broadcast spectrum?

  • PeteGasLondon1 PeteGasLondon #IAmJeremyCorbyn (@PeteGasLondon1) reported

    @ProbablyJoshua_ @SholaMos1 Hmm I'm not sure - its GOT a Freeview/Freesat channel! If the online response is 80-90% NEGATIVE it helps dissuade ADVERTISERS putting any MONEY into the awful thing :)

  • k4bladesagain cheekfulloftongue🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@k4bladesagain) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice @robertamw The sound seems very low so I have to turn the volume up much higher than other channels. Not sure if this is due to something at their end or due to some sort of Freeview issue???

  • seabros Steve Seabrooke (@seabros) reported

    @GBNEWS Good luck with the new channel. Two points need sorting out asap. The sound volume on Freeview is very low compared to other channels and the picture quality in studio is poor. Teething problems I'm sure.

  • gazfitzgaz Gaz Fitz (@gazfitzgaz) reported

    @tomhfh Freeview isn’t HD - Looks a bit poor. Any plans to upgrade it?

  • Rainbow_Worrier @Rainbow_Worrier (@Rainbow_Worrier) reported

    @darkdwarf @GoldiLevels We've never had subscription tv. If you have a Freeview tuner it'll be there unless you manually edit the channel list. If you ditched watching tv altogether, I tip my hat to you.

  • ShazzaG8 Shazza G (@ShazzaG8) reported

    @HarryyMUFC Hard to tell, the production levels are so bad it's barely audible on freeview 👍

  • stevenlarkins KSL Consulting Ltd (@stevenlarkins) reported

    @GBNEWS Please sort out the lip sync issues on Ch236 your Freeview Standard Definition service. Sound levels are also very low compared to BBC 1. These issues were very noticeable on your 6am breakfast show. I am viewing the Hannington Transmitter in N. Hampshire.

  • andyfalc Captain Andy ن (@andyfalc) reported

    @GBNEWS I'm really frustrated with the quality of sound on your output. It's crap! I watch on Freeview and the general audio is so quiet I have to double my usual TV volume and then many of your contributor's microphones are even worse. It is unwatchable, can you not sort it out?
