    @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

  • 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

  • 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

  • brenmclarke Brendan Clarke (@brenmclarke) reported

    I’ve just tuned in to @GBNEWS for the first time since it’s opening night to see why it’s trending. Watching on Freeview Ch 236 and they’ve still got sound problems. Not only is it too quiet there’s a lip synch issue. I’m surprised they’ve not sorted these teething problems.

  • hexodecimal blow 2021 (@hexodecimal) reported

    @afneil @GBNEWS The channel is too much of the same for my liking. Good to see you on TV again but your signal isn't strong enough for me to get it on Freeview

  • Ronagig Ro "there are four lights" (@Ronagig) reported

    @K_Flynny369 Can't get it tuned in on Freeview, signal not good enough 🙄 Enjoy it for me

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @roseannerainbo4 Hi Roseanne, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Youtube app. You would need to contact the manufacture of your equipment for assistance as the Youtube app is not part of the Freeview service. Thanks, Dylan

  • Jules_Clarke Rouge Noir (898) (@Jules_Clarke) reported

    loads of channels on freeview blip blip and fail , but beeb and others dont. I have issues with horror channel when it decides go wonk. it shouldnt

  • benjcsutton ʙᴇɴᴊᴀᴍɪɴ ꜱᴜᴛᴛᴏɴ (@benjcsutton) reported

    I don't want to pile on, but I think that anyone setting up an independent freeview channel about anything in an age where linear TV is on the decline is pretty ******* stupid tbh.

  • Gooner_AK Andy Kelly 🌍 (@Gooner_AK) reported

    Praying that Virgin Media don't have network issues later so we have to watch the game on Freeview on the TV in the bedroom.

  • MrEastendersFan Mr Derek SUSAN (@MrEastendersFan) reported

    @itv2 Love Island is ****. My sisters friend Sharon thinks its awful. But my mate John says he doesn't like it but has all episodes recorded on his freeview plus box...

  • melhill_ Mel. (@melhill_) reported

    Twitter! Help! How can Nic’s grandma watch the game without any apps on a tablet? Are there any free Freeview streams she can watch via Safari? She’s in hospital and doesn’t know how to download apps 😭

  • JehnnyDangerou1 Jehnny Dangerously (@JehnnyDangerou1) reported

    @scotland_ewan @MrFlibble72LFC I never watch the Morning shows & I’ve almost completely stopped watching the news now too. I think I’ve seen all of Freeview’s arsenal at least x10 times over each. I will have to get Sky 🙄
