  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • FatherPeter11 Bacon Dog 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@FatherPeter11) reported

    @rainie1410 On freeview you get the same crap all the time. Endless repeats of Border Patrol USA or Come Dine With Me and Four In A Bed. You’d think that they would realise that maybe the public have seen enough of this crap and it’s time for a change.

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

    The Bilsdale Quarry temporary transmitter failed at just before 1:45pm this afternoon. Freeview is advising affected viewers to not retune. Normal service continues from relay transmitters in the area, which are using a satellite back-up to maintain services.

  • SimonLivesey Simon Livesey (@SimonLivesey) reported

    @GBNEWS Well I'm hoping production quality head increased since I last tried it. But the SD picture quality is unwatchably poor, do until it comes to HD on Freeview I can't watch.

  • jrandrews72 Jeremy (@jrandrews72) reported

    @agapanthus49 When people start talking about abolishing the Licence Fee they mistakenly think its a BBC Licence fee. It's not and never has been. Its also previously used to fund the Digital TV Roll out for Freeview, S4C, Maybe the debate is how much BBC should receive from the Licence.

  • Coolsambob Sam Cannon (@Coolsambob) reported

    The best thing about having my phone contract and home internet with @ThreeUK is that when it goes down in my area I get to sit in the dark with a cold cup of tea and watch Freeview.

  • MrGarry2u MrGarry2u (@MrGarry2u) reported

    @Bomberherald My sister's been watching some freeview channel that plays nothing BUT crap Christmas films.... Since about July. 😵‍💫

  • mycatisjack Jack Is My Cat (@mycatisjack) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice The catchup part of freeview keeps asking about accepting the terms and conditions. I press that button which then returns me to the home screen. Basically I cannot get bbc, itv, channel4 or 5, etc catchup programmes. Please help

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

    @CrabbyValiant @back_the_BBC That's starting to change: Anyone with a Sky Glass TV no longer needs to turn over, as the HD service is fully regionalised. Virgin Media and iPlayer users are up next for the upgrade. Sky, Freesat and Freeview due to be upgraded before the end of 2022.

  • eattrashgofast oíche howl-na 🎃 (@eattrashgofast) reported

    @WesleyDolan i like to pore over all the tv film guides in detail, see what's on saorview, what's on freeview, what's on channels i have to tune in, the itvs, channel4s, channel5s, then finally switch on the tv to where blazing saddles has been on for 10 minutes and flop down in front of that

  • daryl_millar Daryl Millar (@daryl_millar) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice @FreeviewTV No, I don't mean *onto* those platforms. I mean a Freeview-produced streaming stick to *be* a platform in addition to the service integrated into some TVs. The problem with those platforms is they don't carry all services. A neutral platform could solve that.
