  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

    @BBCSport Sorry BBC but I think your coverage this year has been poor compared with previous years. The red button is a waste of time, what's happened to the 601,2,3&4 streams on Freeview? Not everyone wants to watch on phones or tablets, or has an iPlayer enabled TV or the internet!

  • 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!

  • sarahjaneparton Sarah Jane Teurakura Parton (@sarahjaneparton) reported

    Hey there, funny question: my folks have moved to Levin and they can’t get Māori TV to work on Freeview on their new TV. It just goes from channel 4 to channel 6 and no channel 15. My bro reckons you can’t get Māori TV everywhere due to reception issues. Is this true? Surely not?

  • joeylk71 Joanne Gray (@joeylk71) reported

    @dramachannel Yes, but to no avail. It's the dreadful Freeview/DAB signal in my area. Trying to listen to digital radio is just as frustrating and virtually impossible too.

  • 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.

  • Susie61180 Susie (@Susie61180) reported from Greenock, Scotland

    @virginmedia all my channels including freeview ones are giving the message 'channel not authorised' this morning, I've rebooted and still the same, any help please??

  • 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

  • daabren6 daveb (@daabren6) reported

    @LewisFeilder @GBNEWS @GBNfans Like most people here have said. GBNews is EVERYWHERE.....get the app on your phone.....All TVs have freeview just tap 236 on the remote... Google on computer and just scroll down until you see "watch live" .

  • kopchris88 Chris (@kopchris88) reported

    @alid7997 @ShankillGAWA Not working for me on Freeview mate

  • bl0ke a humorously-shaped potato (@bl0ke) reported

    @virginmedia I believe it's a V6 TiVo box. Output has always been quieter than the same channel on Freeview but trying to watch the film #Yesterday... uh.. yesterday.. was terrible. Had to set the TV to 90% to get a decent sound level.
