  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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.

  • KAK_Tweets Krys Cross! Cha Cha Real Smooth (@KAK_Tweets) reported from Treorchy, Wales

    @flickeringflxme I’ve never seen that one myself but somehow my granddad ended up buying it for himself which was made weirder by the fact he only had freeview so didn’t even have Disney Channel. He loved it though

  • 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

  • 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

  • MichaelLeeLewi4 Michael Lee Lewis (@MichaelLeeLewi4) reported from Aberdare, Wales

    @kieranjameen Kieran cancel it, my sister did with hers and hasn't missed it, you can buy internet freeview boxes now and you can download all the apps onto them, no monthly payments then, just for what you choose to, much cheaper

  • 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

    @ModernCassie Never knew it existed. Who will screen it on Freeview?

  • UKTVPlayHelp UKTV Play Help (@UKTVPlayHelp) reported

    Unfortunately some Freeview Play devices are still impacted by an issue we're experiencing around playback. Apologies again for disrupting your viewing experience, we are working on fixing this ASAP We will update here as soon as we have an update. Thanks for your patience

  • MarkLeicester7 MarkLeicester (@MarkLeicester7) reported

    @cjayanetti @CarefulTweeter Not sure about that. I have never sat down one evening to go online & watch it, but if it was on Freeview and there was nothing else on then I might channel hop onto it for a bit. It's niche, but unlike the right with their countless options, there's not much else similar.

  • MarkLanzarote MarkLanzarote (@MarkLanzarote) reported

    @ImmuneNaturally @LozzaFox @TalkTV Yup its **** on freeview atm

  • nasirjamil Nasir Jamil (@nasirjamil) reported

    I am in KMTV office now and will be live at 5:38 pm on freeview channel 5 , Sky 159 . Talking about the current issues .

  • fatch_phil Fatch 💙 🇮🇪 🇮🇲 🇬🇧 (@fatch_phil) reported

    Freeview TV is so **** I have resorted to watching #longlostfamily Same theme every programme so nothing new to see. Switch on radio. Licence fee money is spent on sport throughout the summer.

  • ArthurAssendune Sir Arthur Assendune 🇪🇺💙#FBPPR #FBPE 🇺🇦 (@ArthurAssendune) reported

    @DanielaNadj I wish the EU would runs a news channel on Freeview. RT did, Al Jazeera does, why not the EU? Euronews is available and OK as far as it goes, but it is quite limited. An opportunity for the EU to develop its own 'World Service'.

  • DJSimonUK DJSimonUK (@DJSimonUK) reported from Gillingham, England

    @ITV @skytv is there a problem with channel 103 itv1 on sky tv and also on freeview .,., sounds been cutting out all day ,, not just with me ??? Gillingham Kent ME7 AND Also CT5 Whistable Kent,,

    @stvplayeruk Have tried 2 different tvs i am on talk talk wifi watching on freeview and going online to stvplayer. No problems with anything else its just the mob doctor! Have you had no other complaints/queries??

  • PaulCarmichaelV Paul Carmichael (@PaulCarmichaelV) reported

    @RussPurdie @DefundBBC If the BBC is defunded how do we replace the excellent educational resources it provides to every school and college? How do we maintain the Freeview network which enables the elderly and poor to access free television? How do we replace the Disability Programmes Unit (1/2)
