  • 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

  • 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)

  • geeemac George M (@geeemac) reported

    @PhilipsCare_UK had great customer service from you guys in the past, but the problem constantly comes back. ‘Playback failed’ on iplayer, 4od.. all freeview channels, to the point where I can’t use my tv as a tv. And yes, have reset everything, it’s the latest software, etc etc

  • cypressbill1980 Robert (@cypressbill1980) reported

    @hackerb0t Example. I was at a recycling dump and a guy was throwing away a huge LG LCD screen. I said whats up with it? he said"cant get it to tune into tv signal" He said I could take it. Plugged in my pc, ps3 & freeview terrestrial tv box using the scart/hdmi all worked. Opportunities

  • BeccaLarks Rebecca Larkin (@BeccaLarks) reported

    @TeamKnowhowUK hi there, I'm having trouble with the Freeview play app on a JVC TV. It says 'unable to access the Freeview play server. Please exit and try again'. I have tried several times. The channel 100 works but not the app. All other internet catch-ups work

  • scraggytees nigel teece (@scraggytees) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice hi .. I love in Norton just outside of stockton.. o service except 14 channels on and off.. No Freeview or BBC .I think now I am entitled to ask when will I see some changes ??

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @GThomasboro Freeview is responsible for customer facing comms rather than Arqiva, but they'll be restricted to certain "lines to take" and that will have been approved, so it won't be as rough and ready as what you get on this Twitter feed! But for times like this, it's impossible to provide

  • TEOL85 The Evolution Of Life (@TEOL85) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I think you should make a sticky post saying that Freeview is pretty much up and down all week because of full and relay transmitter mass maintenance around most of the UK for the full week. I only just see about it on your website but Twitter is people's first go to to moan.

  • abline11 Andy Brown (@abline11) reported

    @MrRandomGuy93 @ImVaradi @davywright65 I was Head of Project Management at the BBC in 2002 and was responsible for creating Freeview in 6 months after ITV Digital failed after years of trying. Maybe you think someone waved a magic wand and it was born in a garage. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 You muppet (although I don’t want to be rude)

  • scraggytees nigel teece (@scraggytees) reported

    @8252Hazel Nope and as the transnitter is down only on DAB radio .... Nothing else ... I think if you download the Freeview app they have BBC tees on it ...not sure if it will work when game time comes

  • DugaldMacMilla2 Dugald MacMillan (@DugaldMacMilla2) reported

    So, at home full Sky, Netflix, Prime and Disney+ and my children never watch TV. In London, no Internet. They are utterly fascinated by Grand Designs on Freeview.

  • p__e__a__s p e a s (@p__e__a__s) reported

    @itreallyisEmma Freeview is ****** up here, love. Believe it or not, the transmitter burned down. Freeview officially down indefinitely.
