    @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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • FreejackFan Buck Rogers (@FreejackFan) reported

    Trying to watch the #snooker #scottishopen #homenations online on @QuestTV (when they can be bothered!) because the Freeview signal on that multiplex (COM4) is terrible for some reason. Apparently, it needs payment? Bollocks to that!

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @lincsbirder2019 @Wrightjm6 Re-tunes is the best way to solve the majority of issues on the Freeview service. These tend to be straight forward the majority of our viewers. Sorry to hear you are not a fan of our service. 😪

  • Birkers5 ʙɪʀᴋᴇʀꜱ (@Birkers5) reported

    @JamesHReeve @dave_brammer Stop Press: It was on one of the oddball Freeview movie channels on Sunday I recorded it for my missus who had never seen it. She watched it tonight and loved it. Kitchen sink drama/comedic overtones due to cringingly accurate portrayal of 50's Bolton.

  • fredrob1 Peter Robson (@fredrob1) reported

    @oitappin @Simon3470 Not lies. From the BBC "The BBC applies for grants to help fund its research into broadcasting technology that has contributed to developments such as Freeview and DAB digital radio. In 2017-18 it received a grant from the EU of €1,282,331 (£1,145,572).

  • __CharlotteB_ Charlotte (@__CharlotteB_) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice hi, all apps for channels on demand have vanished from my TV with freeview play, is the service down or something?

  • becbtmunro Becca Munro (@becbtmunro) reported

    .@FreeviewTV @PanasonicUK can you help my dear 75 yo Dad? He has a Panasonic TV and inbuilt freeview and the TV guide is suddenly not working properly - only exhibiting a few programmes at a time. We’ve tried multiple fixes but can’t work it out! Pls can you help?

  • KoalaBarry Barry (the Koala). (@KoalaBarry) reported

    @TourGuideTed @bigjohnbear With Freeview box you can hold down the OK button at any time and the programme goes the beginning....

  • jjirw John Irwin (@jjirw) reported

    @ElaineYoung94 They have a children's lottery in Scotland. I know.... good cause , but a bad name. I got a Scottish sky freeview card for 12 Euro from some crowd in Sligo when I cancelled my sky subscription. So I watch Scottish ads on sky.

  • Chris5gd Chris A (@Chris5gd) reported

    @LGUK @LGUS Fairly appalled to discover that my elderly and frail parents' LG TV, recently bought for them as a gift, does not support the UK FreeView Play catchup services such as @itvhub. Very disappointing.

  • andy_todd Andy Todd (@andy_todd) reported

    @Jennababes @SkyUK This is why I left sky and there **** broad band, £92 a month which included £10 for HD wtaf most HD channels are free with Freeview 🤔
