  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.)

  • 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

  • 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

  • brianmcghee1 Brian Mcghee (@brianmcghee1) reported

    @62Sauzee @Record_Sport We tried SPFL tv when we had to rely on people having sky dishes, cable or freeview which was much more expensive. Now in the days of fibre broadband that problem doesn’t exist anyone can live stream you just need the equipment which we already have

  • Bickiebeej beej (@Bickiebeej) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV hi, We have a brand new TV, Internet and freeview but we get as far as pressing OK to watch something then a blank screen, with the red button service. Are we not doing something obvious maybe?

  • lee_is_wilde Lee (@lee_is_wilde) reported

    @IFLTV @Tyson_Fury @anthonyjoshua Can’t wait!!! … which freeview channel do we think it will be on? And how they going to issue the free tickets ? Lottery? I mean this is what Tyson said will happen right?

  • RevDrDom Rev Dr Dom💙 (@RevDrDom) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice @ToshibaTEC_UK I don’t think it’s an issue with freeview play, the Toshiba tv I have seems to have deleted the app even though there’s a button on the remote specifically for it. I was hoping @ToshibaTEC_UK customer service was better than their tvs, guess not. Thanks for your reply though

  • LuckyTarget Lucky Target Comics - back issue webstore (@LuckyTarget) reported

    Watching live Freeview for the first time in years and it is hour after hour, dozens of channels full of utter crap. How do people still watch this? Streaming has spoiled me.

  • antonio_catta Antonio Catta (@antonio_catta) reported

    @ann958230 It's clear that you never lived abroad if not for holidays. (And I bet you're a regular Freeview Tv customer). It's useless to keep this conversation. Have a good day

  • MattGannon_44 Matthew Gannon (@MattGannon_44) reported

    @mikelavelle93 The stobart one was an interesting idea as in theory the lorries would have been good marketing - although I never recall seeing many and it would really need a freeview TV deal to capitalise

  • EMcG67 Eamonn McGuinness (@EMcG67) reported

    @Flintaxe @BBCiPlayer Hello again. I seem to have fixed this issue. I didn't have a TV aerial connected to the back of the TV itself (I use a BT box.) Once I connected to the back of the TV, iplayer worked as it operates via the Freeview Play platform. Hope this works for you.

  • PoppyDog08 Al (@PoppyDog08) reported

    @TPTVEncore The new Freeview service is superb. Thanks. Interestingly, on my new Samsung TV the Encore prompt is on even during ad breaks. There's no way to get rid of it. It doesn't show at all on my Humax Freeview Play box yet works fine.

  • 46Ruthie Whyamidoingthis. (@46Ruthie) reported

    @itvnews maybe the younger people should cancel all tv subscriptions & make do with freeview,reduce nights out, they don’t need new clothes, Want, Need ,Afford.
