  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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

  • ewaniverse ewan (@ewaniverse) reported

    Bloody Freeview App on my telly decided to die so missed the first Italian goal. Wondering if free view app might be problem with itv hub. Chrome cast working fine though

  • daryl_millar Daryl Millar (@daryl_millar) reported

    @EmmanuelAnyiamO Dreading it. I'm watching this on iPlayer as my Freeview signal keeps going out in high pressure.

  • 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

  • VictoriaBarry82 Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported

    @dj85ftm My cousin works for sky & if you cancel, a few weeks later they’ll call you back & offer a decent discount. I’ve cancelled a few times over the yrs & never handed a box back & you can watch the freeview channels through the box

  • 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!📺

  • 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.

  • LBCbackOnDAB LBCbackOnDAB (@LBCbackOnDAB) reported

    @linB2198 @TerryTsmith2000 @GBNEWS Sound out of synch on that clip isn’t it? Worse watching on freeview. Why haven’t they solved the sound issues after all this time?

  • DemonJim DemonJim (@DemonJim) reported

    @KilgoreJnr Ditto! Wondering if it’s because it’s maybe being taped (yes taped) in 8k, and there’s a bug in the conversion down to HD/1080p for TV or something (you using HD Freeview too?) Not seen it on my SD-only telly.

  • dazzalaa17 Dazzalaa (@dazzalaa17) reported

    @Yorkshire_Pics @arqiva Worst service provider I've ever come across. They can't prove basic software solutions to smets2 smart meters and on top of that they they can't provide a reliable steaming service on Freeview. How on earth were they awarded the contract to provide these services is beyond me!

  • reg_rover Cyril Henry (@reg_rover) reported

    @GBNEWS Can not receive GBNEWS on Freeview 236, neither can several friends and neighbours ? What are we doing wrong ? Please tweet back any info that will help. Thank you.
