  • 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.)

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • BarrySkellern BarryOne Is Not A Cellist (@BarrySkellern) reported

    @foxtrotluna Not too bad, yeah. Tradeoff for us (well, my wife and kids, I hardly use it) is that we'd have to get a third-party DVR box for freeview, and they cost quite a few months worth of cheap-*** TV package.

  • Fredthefish2 ĎeFunct (@Fredthefish2) reported

    In the SE UK lots of folk complaining their digital tv signal has gone no freeview, 'coincidentally' its where the UKs new Varient of Covid appeared 5g interferes with dvb singnal and can caused flu like symptoms akin to Altitude or radiation sickness

  • UnfreeLandofthe LandoftheUnfree (@UnfreeLandofthe) reported

    augaration? **** that i enjoyed watchign the paint drying channel on freeview instead.

  • bonerecords Brian Tucker (@bonerecords) reported

    @curryspcworld we purchased an LG OLED tv on the understanding that it had freeview play that gives us catchup tv such as uktv....... Help, we can’t find it, not too happy. Purchased this year........

  • janinegibson Janine Gibson (@janinegibson) reported

    @nmsonline @lukejones03 my main issue is non presence of CNN on freeview so i have to throw my laptop to TV. This can be… buggy

  • iliad1orig iliad #ShakeThoseChains #PeaceAndJustice 💙 (@iliad1orig) reported

    @BBCDanielS My 88 year old father in law with partial sight and poor hearing has just been forced to pay the BBC licence fee even though he only uses the TV to watch old movies on non BBC Freeview channels. He says " what is Netflix?"

  • PaulVO1975 Paul Gorsedale (@PaulVO1975) reported

    @MarkM1177 @HopkinsBRFC @BBCDanielS Do Netflix: Provide programming specifically for the disabled? Provide programmes in Welsh and Gaelic? Provide resources to every school and college in the UK? Maintain the transmitters in which Freeview (the most popular way for the elderly & poor to access TV) broadcast?

  • fazzziii FKM (@fazzziii) reported

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

  • F1Memories F1 Memories (@F1Memories) reported

    @donnyjuff We've had Freesat since 2010. It's done us well, no real complaints. We watch pretty much everything on catch-up or streaming services now. There are some channels that aren't on Freesat that are on Freeview (Dave is one that spring to mind), but as I said, we've had no issues.

  • Kagey_infohub Kate Gordon (@Kagey_infohub) reported

    Pulled the plug on Virginmedia, new internet service not being installed til Thurs. Got jumpy freeview+ mobile data that I'll need to use sparingly. Biggest fear is I'll lose track of time and forget next Zoom mtgs 🕳
