  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.)

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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

    @AyoCaesar Too busy watching GB News (freeview 236). Did you see Ken Livingstone on GB News last week? He reckons we should have stayed in lockdown since March 2020 until we had zero covid, and borrow to support business. You like that, don't you?

  • gildy61 Random Jottings of Gildersleeve (@gildy61) reported

    OK If I am back home and the time to mess around with the TV cables etc...later today if I cannot get the standalone Freeview box working. Its all down to working out how to add it into a fairly complicated roure. My fault for not paying attention when I dismantled it.

  • MisVeganthropic Mis-vegan-thropic (@MisVeganthropic) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice You mention London and a couple of other places but there is nowhere I can find the status of Bolton (BL4) We have had no freeview since this morning will you acknowledge and confirm that the service is down in our area?

  • lookoutwales2 Gareth Joy (@lookoutwales2) reported

    @StevenSaul @carollowe98 Apparently, Manchester TV (run by the former Made group) has disappeared off Freeview. Wouldn't be surprised if it's closed outright - it's a wonder to think the city could support two small local licences after what happened with Channel M.

  • Dballesteros79 Dani (@Dballesteros79) reported

    @paulrjburke Trying to. Friggin freeview is sh&4e. Never seen it all

  • Carti_Mandua LadyAnniSpice... #IStandWithIsrael 🔯🕎✡️🇮🇱 (@Carti_Mandua) reported

    @Matronincharge @DominicRaab @thetimes Sorry but thats a terrible thing to say to someone whose family survived the holocaust .... you need to watch the programmes on Freeview and take that back

  • loNo101 LoNo1 (@loNo101) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Thanks for all your help, no reply, no dm, no reply on Facebook and completely useless. Worst advice line, worst customer service, worst everything. @OmbudsmanUK can you help with why my street has no freeview and no help to answer why?

  • S0UNDK1LLAH66 Darren *Calling out da BS* Richardson (@S0UNDK1LLAH66) reported from Great Yarmouth, England

    @_i0n Where you live got reception probs then mate? Like hills blocking a signal? Where I live is a bit of a nightmare. Cos the high channels on Freeview I can't get cos 5G wipes them out.

  • thepeoplesmovie The People's Movies (@thepeoplesmovie) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Ive had no freeview channels for 6 days, just learned yester my building majority of the homes (15 floors) are the same, postcode PA2 no one seems to be able to help @RenCouncil

  • EdgyNathan Nathan Edgy (@EdgyNathan) reported

    Watching Dante’s Peak for the first time. I recorded it to my freeview box a couple of years ago and just never got around to watching it
