    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

  • 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.

    @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

  • 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.)

  • 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)

  • 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

    @il0venostalgia The 80's wasn't bogged down with genres,and internet made people less experimental. Further music got away from 92,everything had been done really! Need to bring back music to Freeview,not all stuck on the net!

  • BarbaraBone3 Barbara Bone (@BarbaraBone3) reported

    @JamiePa79580833 @juneslater17 Oh that's why my broadband is crap - better get rid of the cat if her chip's interfering with the signal. Is that why sometimes I can get Freeview & other times it tells me ITV, Channel 4... don't exist?

  • louisecoatesuk Louise🌻🌻Coates (@louisecoatesuk) reported

    @halciber @ThrillaRilla369 That's the only connection we have and have hundreds of channels now as through digital we use Freeview, if you go back to the old analogue signal you'll get nothing these days.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @Ramtronik Older TVs simply ignore them as they don’t support DVB-T2, not even adding the channels to main channel list. For example, an old Freeview TV will not add BBC One HD on channel 101 or U&Eden on channel 57. That’s not the case with this latest change, which uses DVB-T1 for the

  • KtodayU83406 theUKtoday (@KtodayU83406) reported

    If you only have Freeview you'll notice that they're just putting **** old films anything up to 70 or 80 years old on Freeview channels now because I guess pay sites bought Freeview channels and put old crap to encourage people to join there pay sites

  • TotallyBeans AVS1972 (@TotallyBeans) reported

    @364690 Did this last month and my God did they try it on. Now only have Essentials on cancel anytime/no contract and that's only because we have no tv aerial for freeview. Also bought firesticks so even the Sky Essentials will be binned off once got used to using apps on firestick!

  • daryl_millar Daryl Millar (@daryl_millar) reported

    Is anyone else having trouble with BBC SD channels on Freeview?

  • ShoyebJeeva Shoyeb Jeeva (@ShoyebJeeva) reported

    @Ofcom Have been having issues with #Freeview TV channels for a while now with @BBCOne and it's sister channels keep buffering and losing signal via @FreeviewTV.

  • ShoyebJeeva Shoyeb Jeeva (@ShoyebJeeva) reported

    Is there anyone out there in London experiencing issues with their dtv signal while trying to watch #freeview channels especially @BBCOne has moved over to channel 800 on my tv.

  • birch_js Jamie Birch (@birch_js) reported

    @yagiznizipli I’d say look for what features it says it supports. In the UK, I’d be looking for: - Freeview Play certification, for hybrid broadcast + broadband - DIAL support, for casting YouTube videos from phone - Some good (possibly native) branded apps included - Responsive UI - No ads
