    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.)

  • 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.

    @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

  • 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)

  • 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

    @NetflixUK Lower resolution than Freeview HD 😑

  • xKeithRodenx Keith Roden ◣ ◢ (@xKeithRodenx) reported

    @taffjohnlloyd @skytv No, you can't record once you cancel... Though can still watch the Freeview channels, which is pointless as my telly has Freeview built-in.

  • gamer_hoe A (@gamer_hoe) reported

    The camera on the new Pokémon is so bad. Why is it constantly drifting and so choppy??? What's the point of a Freeview camera if it forcefully changes the camera position when I move

  • roblakedavis Robbie James (@roblakedavis) reported

    @BBCNews Must be awful for you,only having 70 Freeview channels to watch

  • MichaelBalmer19 Mighty Mike (@MichaelBalmer19) reported

    @BBCNews And that folks are part of the problem in this country. The idea of what constitutes being poor is misunderstood. Cheap mobile phone, Freeview TV, reliable car, all essential. Not latest iPhone, multiple channel streaming and new car.

  • neighcomment Neigh Comment #CelebratingNeighbours (@neighcomment) reported

    @ANeighboursFan @CiTyFoLkFeRaL *Freevee not Freeview, damn autocorrect is going to be doing that a lot over the next few months I imagine.

  • peterdavid1953 Peter1953 (@peterdavid1953) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi, can you please help. I can no longer get Freeview Play on my LG smart TV. When I switch to Channel 100 all I get is Data Only screen. I have tried retuning the TV and following LG advice and still no Freeview Play. Signal strength test was done with no problem

  • Jontyscot25 John Quinn (@Jontyscot25) reported

    Renew your mobile phone contract airtime/new phone or help pay your grandparents energy bill ? Freeview or Sky? Etc., etc.,

  • CeleneHawthorne 🎉🌛 Scorpio season/birthday month🌜🎉 (@CeleneHawthorne) reported

    @vee4vampy No, it's a Freeview on demand service we watch it on. I think its called "My five". Vince retired/stepped down a few weeks ago now and it's been triple H that stepped up and took over.

  • adeypops Adrian (@adeypops) reported

    @AJ_Gay_Gardener @JonDev6 @MTennismad Never seen The Crown because I've never been tempted by Netflix. Too much Freeview and Prime as it is!
