    @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

  • 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

  • AdventuresVw VW Adventures (@AdventuresVw) reported

    @mycampervan We use a @roku streaming device for TV but when WiFi signal isn't good, the aerial always gets a good Freeview signal.

  • GreenBin69 Mike Lyon 🇵🇸 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 🇸🇪 🇫🇮 (@GreenBin69) reported

    @davidgstrachan @karenjellis @MartinSLewis It's a good point! Wouldn't want the Beeb to go down the Advertising route, as IMV it ruins the viewing experience & of course means the same advertising revenue spread over more channels. Of course the Gov could pay to make it available on Freeview (they need to keep that first)

    @FreeviewAdvice That's strange as other sites that I use are working expect for the freeview website bad it was working for me last Thursday

  • worldsbestman Andrew Thompson (@worldsbestman) reported

    @RestoreTVHelp Thank you very much for solving a long term issue I had with my Freeview Channels. Cards through the letter box normally go in the bin! Got one from RTV. Filled out online form, called them, 2 days later magic little box arrived and 5 mins later problem solved👍🙏

  • Louise243 LS (@Louise243) reported

    @commaficionado I think I preferred analogue TV static to when the Freeview boxes first came out, because you could still watch through a bit of static, but with digital it would go all pixelated and then lose the signal when there was a bad storm, which happened quite often in rainy Manchester.

  • MikePop94819658 MikePop (@MikePop94819658) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice is there a problem with freeview reception in the SA14 area?

  • DonPedley1 Don Pedley (@DonPedley1) reported

    Have questioned why so few stations on Freeview in BN12 area. The reply from Freeview indicates reception in the area is poor as only a relay service & many stations not provided. Here is the conversation & how to complain to improve the service if you agree (I want Sky Arts)

  • SatwantBee Satwant Bee (@SatwantBee) reported

    @rlrossi64 Good question. I'm guessing: network television; broadcast TV; digital TV channels; Freeview. Creates a distinction between those and streaming services, I guess.

  • karolyn_is Karolyn_IS (@karolyn_is) reported

    So now we have lost the Breeze music channel from NZ Freeview, and have instead more low-value 'reality', game shows and other such garbage.

  • Garybo1977 Gary Hall (@Garybo1977) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    TV win in UK. Kill Bill and The Good, the bad and the ugly currently both on Freeview
