  • Freeview Outage in Rhondda, Wales (22)Morgan Barber-Rogers #FBPE melt and centrist dad (@MeurigRogers) reported fromCardiff, 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.

    @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

    @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

  • Freeview Outage in Rhondda, Wales (25)Ian Cleverly (@IanCleverly06) reported fromTrethomas, 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)

  • Freeview Outage in Rhondda, Wales (26)Dave Maydew MW0DCM (@dave_maydew) reported fromTonyrefail, 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

    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

    @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.

  • Freeview Outage in Rhondda, Wales (29)Krys Cross! Cha Cha Real Smooth (@KAK_Tweets) reported fromTreorchy, 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

  • Freeview Outage in Rhondda, Wales (32)tashatam (@tashatam14) reported

    @UBn9ohogz0XOFWP @GBNEWS To watch I need a TV license, a freeview signal or Sky subscription, and an HD TV. I don't have any of those. Oh, and even if I had Sky I would have to pay extra for GB News

  • Freeview Outage in Rhondda, Wales (33)Spi (@Spi_AU) reported

    Only real gripe about motel: the TV is increasingly useless for Freeview when more channels (both HD and SD) are using MPEG-4. Which kinda shows the age of the TV.But at ~$90 a night, it's a very small complaint.

  • Freeview Outage in Rhondda, Wales (35)Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @FedupRepat @FreeviewTV Hi,Freeview apps are an add-on service, as the TV does not have an aerial input built-in, there is nothing to add to that, you can receive a similar service as our iOS and Android app available on phones/tablets by downloading the TV players separately. Hope this helps,Dev.
