  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

    @rdavies6 @Golf_5_TM I don't think many noticed the Freeview failure here. My kids found out when they couldn't get their YouTube fix with the WiFi off.

  • StevenNT Steven Jones (@StevenNT) reported

    @Mark56623345 @a516digital for me the communal dish is 90cm and on the roof as part of the Communal Integrated Reception system so exposed to the rain when it really does throw it down and lose sat reception for a short period so I fall back to Freeview option for a bit on that one

  • PaulDel70889969 Paul Delaney (@PaulDel70889969) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Freeview didn't start a fire that caused the damage...nor did the company who now manage it. How quick do you think it takes to put up a temporary mast that's over 1000ft high (so that it still reaches everybody affected). You can't expect anyone to just throw a tower up..

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

    Anyone with a satellite receiver, including Sky/Freesat (if you know how to manually tune it) can access these broadcasts. Your receiver will need to support HbbTV 2.0 to see the accessible Freeview guide. @cleanfeed_ttvr @tvlive

  • tapper82 Tapper82 (@tapper82) reported

    @pvfc_carol Hi can you help out pleas. Since the BBC are now broadcasting the PVFC games over Freeview I can no longer injoi the Vale games. I am blind and use my radio to know what's going on when in the ground.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @StevenNT @a516digital Just got it confirmed by my neighbour, he was told way back in February, hes still fuming mad about it, because he was canvassed away from sky by some **** who knew nothing about the freeview problems we have.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital What's needed however is to change the technology used and support a better system, such as DVB T2. I don,t see streaming as a threat to freeview or freesat for that matter. As , the title says it's free. Streaming is all paid for. Just ask my neighbours!.

  • p__e__a__s p e a s (@p__e__a__s) reported

    @itreallyisEmma Freeview is ****** up here, love. Believe it or not, the transmitter burned down. Freeview officially down indefinitely.

  • MsAmiiEvlynB Amii not Amy (@MsAmiiEvlynB) reported

    Anyone having #Freeview issues?

  • GeoffBySea Geoff-by-Sea (@GeoffBySea) reported

    I so begrudge paying £13 a month for a TV Licence now but, if you cancel it, it’s not just the BBC you have to stop watching. Basically, we’re all paying a TV subscription monthly whether we want to or not. So it’s not actually Freeview now is it!
