  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • FedUpWithBadAir Dave Peterson (He/Him) Ⓥ 🇨🇦 (@FedUpWithBadAir) reported

    @ECOWARRIORSS Besides, what about places without high-speed Internet access? At least Freeview is available in places where cellular and Internet signals aren't... What a terrible and misguided plan.

  • itvhubhelp ITV Hub Help (@itvhubhelp) reported

    @devonfromdevon @itvhub Thank you for confirming this, with some Freeview devices to activate subtitles you'll need to switch them on so you'll need to enable subtitles via the TV's captions/accessibility settings. If you're having trouble with this, please DM us - with your TV's Model Number.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @FWestfield Hi, Francis. Sorry to hear that you're having problems getting Freeview. If you can DM us your postcode along with house number or name, we can check for any known issues and advise from there. Fraser

  • Gareth_Hole Gav Bono Hole (@Gareth_Hole) reported

    @SkyArts this isle of wight coverage is shocking, it’s a good job sky arts is on freeview otherwise I’d be calling up to cancel. Actually I’d like to cancel.

  • ELLTRON3000 ell (@ELLTRON3000) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice hey! i haven't been able to get freeview channels through my bt youview box for c. 3 months. i've followed all the steps on your website including all the tuning steps. please help! i'm E14 7DJ.

  • FWestfield Francis Westfield (@FWestfield) reported

    Is the service down webpage states no problems with freeview today. Odd as my signal still has not returned. If this continues for one more week I will dispense with my TV licence and watch DVD's and videos and use my laptop.

  • VonPhartdangler Von Phartdangler (@VonPhartdangler) reported

    @benji_writer @FutureDarren Hahaha, an oldie but a goldie. I watch a lot of 80s pop vids on Freeview. But why are they often such bad quality? And the aspect ratios off?

  • FWestfield Francis Westfield (@FWestfield) reported

    My TV aerial feels lonely, first the analogue signal gone, now no digital freeview signal for two days. You would think they would have a backup.

  • LuminolNights Ethan Black (@LuminolNights) reported

    I have a tv and I’ve never even accidentally come across GB News or wherever it is that Piss Morgan steals his bread. Where is it broadcast, freeview?

  • Jeffery22748212 Jeffery (@Jeffery22748212) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice so freeview is taking several channels off the service. What a load of rubbish. Your service is now becoming a very poor second to the likes of freesat. pixleation issues bad affected by weather and if you live near railways or airports useless.
