  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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

    @markaizatt Sadly if you are a freeview user and not a customer of the likes of BT/SKY/Virgin et al, Al Jazeera is the only channel with a global perspective for the lazy of seeking

  • UKAT_George UKAT George, The UK Action Team ℹ (@UKAT_George) reported

    @Hazzreid @fitgeek_uk No they make money from commercials. The issue as I understand it is the BBC own freeview and receive money from commercial stations for a channel space. So essentially they can charge for freeview use via a licence fee. Sadly itv sold freeview to the BBC.

  • Dave0932705 Dave (@Dave0932705) reported

    Is anyone else having trouble getting gb news on freeview

  • larissaweems lettie (@larissaweems) reported

    when i was young we couldn’t afford anything like sky and freeview wasn’t really a thing, and then when it was introduced we still couldn’t have it because we didn’t get a signal. citv and bbc was the only way i could watch children’s tv after school/sick days and i feel like

  • andyjameshicks Andy Hicks (@andyjameshicks) reported

    @AaronBastani It's the reason I'd never buy licence. (That and Sky taking Sky Sports News off Freeview if I'm honest.)

  • dcole0007 Danny (@dcole0007) reported

    @supertanskiii I want to but I use a streaming service that includes Freeview. I’d like @bbc to be independent of any govt Tory or @UKLabour . It needs to become a subscription service

  • mangh_oe Sophie (@mangh_oe) reported

    @jasebyjason I thought this ! There’s probably not enough kids watching the tv now so they’re not bothering anymore but my dad never got wifi till I was 16 because waste of money so I feel bad for the families that rely on freeview tv 😭

  • WeHo_1985 Dennis (@WeHo_1985) reported

    @B2theRich It was dreadful. Three out of five is extremely generous. It's the type of terrible b-movie you see on a random Freeview channel at 2pm in the afternoon.

  • ameena_q90 Ameena 🇺🇦 (@ameena_q90) reported

    @CallumKeith1999 live? Ah **** what if you have freeview?

  • AlexTheGuiri Alex the Guiri (@AlexTheGuiri) reported

    @Glostermeteor @MattWWoolwich Nope. The BBC was given a significant uplift in the licence fee to implement Freeview in the early 2010s. It was then allowed to keep that uplift to fund the World Service (previously FCO) and ‘free’ licences for over 75s (previously HMT). Typically it has subsequently reneged.
