  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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

  • uncriticalsimon Simon 🥑🚟🚅😈💉💉💉 (@uncriticalsimon) reported from Newport, Wales

    .@Freeview question - how come the PSB muxes aren’t treated equally? The BBC one and the HD one seem to have a much better signal from Wenvoe than the “normal” ITV one. (I can get Mendip off a random bit of metal.)

  • 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

  • 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.

  • rozlaws Roz Laws (@rozlaws) reported

    Does anyone I know on Twitter know about the tech of TV sets? I mainly watch it through my Sky box, but I can also get Freeview on terrestrial. That seemed to be hooked up via my VCR - yes, I still have one! Haven’t used it for years and now it seems to have broken, and… 1/2

  • B_Neash Becca Neash (@B_Neash) reported

    Freeview tv is ****, no wonder no body pays for a TV licence

  • Darren56473057 Darren (@Darren56473057) reported

    @celebrityradio Saturday tv, like watching paint dry, but I still keep watching old comedy's and old films on dvd sad I know but no choice, plus talking pictures not a bad ch 81 freeview,,

  • AdamBede3 Adam Bede (@AdamBede3) reported

    @dawneva3 @TalkingPicsTV I looked it up it is channel 81 on Freeview and I scan the the channels and it wasn't there, I wonder if anyone elsse has had trouble? There was a 60's film on the other day I wanted to see.

  • KeithCP2 Keith Pates (@KeithCP2) reported

    @FreeviewTV why is there no service at all now? 2 tv's no warning and neither working on freeview 1 tv was working fine earlier this morning, got woke up with doorbell, and no one there now no tv again sort it and let people know letter to trading standards going today

  • VelvetyMole VelvetyMole🌻🌱 (@VelvetyMole) reported

    @Flashmaggie @rascallycake I watched some of it. I liked a show that took the piss out of wokism. Was a bit put off after reading about Andrew Neil's 'ordeal' at their hands. Also, it's so far up the freeview schedule, I never get beyond channel 81 i.e. @TalkingPicsTV - nothing beyond that worth watching!

  • Maggie_Bowler Maggie Bowler (@Maggie_Bowler) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I was advised by a representative on your help line that I would have all channels by 6pm yesterday. I’m missing all BBC channels and the remaining channels are intermittent if at all. I’ve sent DM to Freeview.

  • Carti_Mandua LadyAnniSpice... #IStandWithIsrael 🔯🕎✡️🇮🇱 (@Carti_Mandua) reported

    Just watching a programme on Freeview about the German programme set up by Himmler called " Lebensborn" . Y is the UK being blasted for slavery 200 + years ago especially when we abolished it , when Germany never gets slated for the Holocaust or Lebensborn etc only 80 years ago ?

  • JustineClaire65 Justine Carroll 🇬🇧 (@JustineClaire65) reported

    @Murphofrompres1 @GBNEWS I see. I haven't changed the way I watch @GBNews though. We have aerial issues and don't get good reception on freeview. I may try again now though as that was at the start.
