    @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

  • 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.

  • 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.

    @Liophora Yeah, I have a TV package for... ...****, I only watch Doctor Who. Not really worth the TV package. May just go Freeview

  • retguru Retail Guru (@retguru) reported

    @virginmedia Still issues. Brand new box. Still can't watch catch up or Netflix without it constantly crashing. Even normal tv picture pixalating all the time. Never have any issues with freeview in bedroom so what's the point of having Virgin?

  • andyjworth Andy Worth (@andyjworth) reported

    @Johnnywas25 @darrengrimes_ @CommonsDCMS I don’t watch Freeview. I don’t have a aerial. As for broadband. That was NOT funded by the TV Licence. I’m on Virgin Media’s fibre network, don’t believe they’ve had any public funds. You’re referring to BT, who have, but have no connection to my property.

    @FreeviewAdvice Having some issues with Freeview in leeds - LS14, lost quite a few channels, very poor signal one the ones still working. Retuning has not helped. BBC2 gone, all HD channels gone, poor signal on the rest of them. All good on my side of things...

  • LachlanMain Lachlan Main (@LachlanMain) reported

    @jameswharton Watching The Man Who Never Was on the Freeview Sony channel. Interesting episode from WW2.

  • SamuelJohnsnon Samuel Johnson (@SamuelJohnsnon) reported

    @StevenFewster @t25bear @StenaLine The only hassle I encountered: terrestrial TV signal differs, so FreeView TVs don't work except in NI & near border & incompatible w Irish SaorView. But easily resolved w an inexpensive external satellite combo box. Seems you can even keep UK driving licence after all.

    @S29Mik I never had Disney but freeview shows >>>

  • DominicReville mildmanneredjanitor (@DominicReville) reported

    @La_Duff Look up common IP address & Subnet, DNS etc settings for your TV model on the internet & manually change them on the TV's Network settings, I used to have to re-set those settings all the time on my Freeview TV recorder box to get it to connect to my old router,
