  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • RaxM__ RaxM (@RaxM__) reported

    As TV signals changed to digital, you either have a @FreeviewTV integrated TV or need to use a freeview box on an older TV. Why does @BBCNews have to interrupt @Wimbledon on the hour? If you want to watch the national news, go to the BBC news channel which has the same content

  • _oatc_ oatc (@_oatc_) reported

    @RobM37099974 @tx_pros @jduffyrice Not sure how many in 🇬🇧 even realise the channel exists on Freeview never mind having opinions about it. Obviously, you're right in respect of conspiracy theory devotees in 🇺🇸

  • ratters64 Ratters (@ratters64) reported

    @tonyplay1066 @ladbible Believe it or not, I pay for Sky Movies, Amazon Prime, Netflix And Disney+ and almost everything I watch is on terrestrial, I should cancel and just get Freeview🤪

  • manLawrance Freightliner (@manLawrance) reported

    @frankyjazzie Why do you want us to sign that I have just lost my Freeview signal on my TVfor 5G so if it’s good enough for TV it’s good enough for my mobile phone without any ill effects !!!

  • Catwomanx6 Lady Linda Christie #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 (@Catwomanx6) reported

    @WASoutlooks @JeanneBartram @virginmedia They either think we're idiots or they are. They told me not to cancel the DD until they've spoken to me, then have gone quiet since 12 noon yesterday. Sod that. I've cancelled it and bought a cheaper broadband and a Freeview recorder.

  • faulknerwolves Tat (@faulknerwolves) reported

    The wife said she wanted Chanel No.5 for her Birthday...... she'll be chuffed to ****, all I had to do was re-tune the Freeview box!!!

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

    @littlemore20 Mom never heard of it - who would have thought EE would affect Freeview !!

  • JamesHailey1 Jimmy Tweets (@JamesHailey1) reported from Weymouth, England

    Apparently the guy with the goatie in Eastenders isn't Beppie....Is Wicksey still in it ? Not watched this trash in 20 years but Mrs H has put it on because we are down to Freeview...I want to slash my wrists 10 minutes in....How do you watch this garbage @Shana_Banana_44 ?!

  • EmmaLovelace Emma Lovelace (@EmmaLovelace) reported

    So any atmospheric pressure over 1,005 mBar just lays to waste nearly half of my Freeview channels. Goes from 147 to 96. All BBC, ITV and Channel 4 gone. Pulling the aerial out and returning trick, does not help With the rain last night, did get 107 now back to 96.

  • GC_Wood Gary C Wood (@GC_Wood) reported

    First the removal of BBC Radio access via voice control on Sonos speakers; now the removal of @BBCNews HD from Freeview. @BBC not doing much to help it's cause with the licence fee debate.
