  • oitappin Dan Tappin (@oitappin) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @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.

  • 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

  • uncriticalsimon Simon 🥑🚟🚅😈💉💉💉 (@uncriticalsimon) reported from Newport, Wales

    .@Freeview question - how come the PSB muxes aren’t treated equally? The BBC one and the HD one seem to have a much better signal from Wenvoe than the “normal” ITV one. (I can get Mendip off a random bit of metal.)

  • 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

  • uncriticalsimon Simon 🤖 (@uncriticalsimon) reported from Newport, Wales

    Why is the BBC World Service so hard to obtain EXCEPT in the one area which is explicitly not the target audience? In the UK the World Service is available 24/7 on DAB and I think Freeview and Freesat/Sky.

    @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

  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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.

    @ITV @itvhub wtf can't I cast ITV to my TV??? I can't watch ITV Hub live through Freeview. I don't have an aerial connected. What's the issue here?? No other channel gives me this grief.

  • Braziliandoll2 Honey Elusive & Exclusive (@Braziliandoll2) reported from Salford, England

    Videochat love? Please note I don't offer freeview verification  but I can send my Twitter link my chat service is performed on Whastsapp, viber or Skype only Working till 10pm

  • lfcjamie Jamie (@lfcjamie) reported

    @gamray I'm in my late 20s and I have never had a telly with Freeview. Watch everything online.

  • bobbigmac Bob (@bobbigmac) reported

    The regular drizzle of news stories covering GBNews's failure to find an audience fills me with nothing but joy and hope. Turns out people over 60 have trouble retuning their freeview if their grandkids won't do it for them ;)

  • leighpturner leigh (@leighpturner) reported

    I’m glad the Twitter memes are in glorious HD since ITV 2 isn’t on Freeview, it feels like I’m watching a cam copy of the show the quality is so bad in standard definition #LoveIsland

  • GiannaMarriotta Celeste (@GiannaMarriotta) reported

    @Carti_Mandua @GBNEWS I haven't been able to hear it on television since it started. It is especially bad to day just mumbling. Al Jazeera and RT next door on Freeview fine.

  • jeffbartrop Jeff Bartrop (@jeffbartrop) reported

    @blogmywiki Absolutely, and has the least delay! Still, anyone who happens to be a Sky or Virgin subscriber also has another option to get ITV. Or I can recommend setting up a Plex server with a network Freeview tuner- a DIY PVR / streaming service.

  • neilroarty Neil Roarty (@neilroarty) reported

    @gamray I don't get a signal in my flat unless I work for it, Rod Hull style. I have a TV with an in-built freeview box. It's also

  • RealRondale Rondale (@RealRondale) reported

    Seeing hella people moaning about ITV hub being down lol, get Freeview it's free 🤦🏾

  • _Alfista ... - ..- Stu🍀 (@_Alfista) reported

    @The_Crust @grayheath56 @itvhub France v Switzerland live, I can’t get itv terrestrial/freeview signal here. ITV hub is truly awful but needs must.
