    @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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.)

    @Moviebore I'm back on Freeview now. The signal had been breaking up.

  • dean_m_caldwell DEAN CALDWELL (@dean_m_caldwell) reported

    Do you know that out of 30 odd television channels on New Zealand's freeview. That there is only 4 - 5 mainstream channels. Out of these most popular channels. Most of the content is reality TV crap. I would love to see an old black and white 30s musical movie.

  • Geordie_Guy Shaun (@Geordie_Guy) reported

    @Ne3Steve @GBNEWS Interesting. Next time I notice sound sync issues I'll check Freeview & see if it's the same.

  • HoveSweetHove99 HoveSweetHove (@HoveSweetHove99) reported

    @itvhub Your streaming on Amazon Fire is SO bad that it's entirely unwatchable. I have no other way of watching it as you've taken yourself off the @tvguide freeview app. So essentially, I can't watch the footy. Disgraceful.

  • HNM_WClark Will Clark (@HNM_WClark) reported

    Just wondering if anyone in Inverness has had problems with their freeview signal in Inverness in recent days? BBC channels are fine but everything else is crap. Don’t want to climb on to roof to fiddle with aerial. My block of flats are three floors high.

  • DETEPAVIDS0N hayden (@DETEPAVIDS0N) reported

    @PERALTAWRLD bc not everyone has sky, euros n world cup are always on freeview never sky or bt or amazon prime

  • jennimcparland1 Jennifer McParland (@jennimcparland1) reported

    @ThisDave @FergusCraig Have one! Still have a problem with sky coming through it ( which is how we get our tv as the freeview signal is sh**t!

  • DboxerScfc DBoxer_SCFC (@DboxerScfc) reported

    Just got in from work. Retuned the tv & bingo, Food Network is back on my Freeview, after going missing last week

  • tweetthetelly 🐦𝕋𝕨𝕖𝕖𝕥𝕋𝕙𝕖𝕋𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕪📺🖖❓🏳️‍🌈 (@tweetthetelly) reported

    @TVPlayer Wow! Only used you as we had no signal for some channels on Freeview. You enjoy your fall into obscurity by removing #ITV and #CH4. When are you dropping all #BBC channels, just so I can finally wave you goodbye!📺

  • StephenAFenwick Stephen Fenwick (@StephenAFenwick) reported

    This morning our broadband got cut off because my bank updated my card details in the ‘TV’ slot, and not the ‘broadband’ slot of my ISP’s system. Apparently Manuel is running Santander and Baldrick is running my ISP. I don’t have a TV package. We never have 🙄 we use Freeview.
