  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

    It’s everywhere you look, certain groups are pissy because they have to share with the rest of the world, and are no longer pandered to and catered to exclusively. That’s why you have this hate-fuelled pushback. The Red Button and Freeview are RIGHT THERE, but it’s never enough…

  • Andy__156 Andy S (@Andy__156) reported

    Also, every time there is a rescan demanded by Freeview, there’s always a problem with the signal & reception causing the aerial to be moved. Terrible service!!!!! @Ofcom sort this s**t out!!!

  • borage99978350 borage999 (@borage99978350) reported

    @rewindtvuk fair point.... it is adult humour. series link doesnt work on freeview, i'll experiment

  • FalaCatsco Catherine (@FalaCatsco) reported

    @AgentP22 According to STV it's shows like Coronation Street etc, Albas figures are an impressive 530,000 adult viewers a week when it became available on Freeview and Virgin media, how odd. Their average viewing time is an hour and 40 mins? Never watched Alba, lot of Sports apparently.

  • FortesMentum Sir Henry @ Ed Debba (@FortesMentum) reported

    @RupertLowe10 The trouble is, sir, that jail beckons for ordinary people who choose not to pay the TV license but continue to watch Freeview.

  • Welshlass1962 Maggie Ikin (@Welshlass1962) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam That was when Sky tv was value for money! I left Sky last year because you could only offer a measly £2 per month discount for a customer who had been with you for over 20yrs! And I don’t miss Sky at all…..on FREEview now!

  • Woodydryad Sally Wood (@Woodydryad) reported

    @The_East_End @LeeHurstComic Yep, over this way too. Even getting "white outs" on the TV set and neighbour had to add a dongle thingy to keep her laptop signal boosted enough to do course work. Guy who runs the shop who lives elsewhere, he says hes missing freeview channels, while i dont get any BBC at all

  • ShoyebJeeva Shoyeb Jeeva (@ShoyebJeeva) reported

    @NewhamLondon #freeview channels via Crystal Palace TV transmitter keeps buffering and losing signal in my area please can you confirm, contact Freeview TV and find out how long it will take for the issue to be resolved.

  • MarkHolla Mark (@MarkHolla) reported

    Well after 7 years with @skytv looks like it's time to leave. Bill jumping from £68 to £94. Even the basic package if I removed cinema and sports is still £50. **** that. I'll go back to freeview. #Sky @SkyHelpTeam

    @LouiseScot51918 I have not used it for 12 years, but was getting bored with Freeview channels, so resubscribed a couple of days ago, and I'm already thinking of cancelling again! There is some interesting films and series, but also some real shite! Do it, have a look, you can cancel at any time
