  • 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)

  • 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.

  • dave_maydew Dave Maydew MW0DCM (@dave_maydew) reported from Tonyrefail, Wales

    @FreeviewAdvice @arqiva More disappointed, but I suppose I've got to accept it, after totally cutting the cord. I do have a tech question though. I'm using the Plex Media Server for Freeview, but the supplied EPG by Gracenote is terrible, is there a XML file of the one you use on the Android app

    @PumaBare So you want private subscribers to maintain the Freeview network that they don’t use, provide educational resources whether they have kids or not, provide Welsh services if they aren’t Welsh, provide for Disability programming if they aren’t disabled? Why should they?

  • ETusty Emma T (@ETusty) reported

    Freeview signal is awful again. High pressure I suppose.

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

    Fog! Temperature Inversion! Weird things may happen to your Freeview signal tonight and tomorrow. Don't retune! (Unless your hobby is DXing and you want to see if you can get some out-of-region/foreign services.)

  • Gina_Moona Gina, Moona & Jet (@Gina_Moona) reported

    @Florenc00526929 We only have freeview but the TV transmitter burnt down Aug 21 and now the signal is very sketchy not due to be replaced until Aug 23 😒

  • pondlifetwit pondlife twit (@pondlifetwit) reported

    @PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries Freeview? That's for poor people who don't have Netflix or Sky!!

  • robinjuste Robin Juste Emery (@robinjuste) reported

    @KentHC_WX The @metoffice didn't even extend the Yellow Alert for Fog until earlier this morning. I don't think they expected it to reach this far South? Slowing clearing from Medway, here now, but expect it to return later at sunset. TV signal on Freeview was unwatchable last night!

  • MediaBoyUK Media Boy UK (@MediaBoyUK) reported

    I only deal with news about Freeview and Virgin Media UK. (And the soon to launch Virgin Media IPTV Network).

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital Its bad news on those who want freeview reception though. And i have just found com7, on 55, very shy nowadays, havent seen it since about november, so its still broadcasting however, i got my douts its from the local mast.

  • PCarmichaelVO Paul Carmichael (@PCarmichaelVO) reported

    @PumaBare How do the elderly access television when you’ve removed the licence fee which pays for maintenance of the Freeview transmitter network, the most popular (and cheapest) way for the elderly to watch TV?

  • DanielNvB84 Daniel Nicholson (@DanielNvB84) reported

    @RmnMark @MartinSLewis Yes, Freeview on a Smart TV. Thought I'd miss being able to pause, rewind and record, but with catch-up and smart apps you just don't need it. Pay for Netflix for films etc but can obviously cancel that whenever I like.
