• Dave Maydew MW0DCM (@dave_maydew) reported 17 minutes agofromTonyrefail, 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

• George Baldwin (@GeorgeBaldwin14) reported 41 minutes agofromCardiff, 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

• Morgan Barber-Rogers #FBPE melt and centrist dad (@MeurigRogers) reported 43 minutes agofromCardiff, 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.

• Ian Cleverly (@IanCleverly06) reported 52 minutes agofromTrethomas, 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)

• Michael Lee Lewis (@MichaelLeeLewi4) reported 59 minutes agofromAberdare, 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

• Tracey Davies (@miss_traceydav) reported 5 minutes agofromCorby, England

  @CraigS0309 People are arguing about this very advice. Take a Sky engineer, if your Sky box or dish breaks. One person argued it shouldn’t be fixed & use Freeview. Problem with that for me is 1) I don’thave Freeview as no aerial and 2) I pay Sky extra to cover equipment

• Fergus Waddell (@furg88) reported 7 minutes agofromKirkcudbright, Scotland

  Hmm, funny how loss of Freeview signal is corrected by; re-tuning, pulling out all the aerial cables, changing them around, tuning again, looking at what way the aerial outside is facing, plugging in the original cables and then re-tuning. f*cking work the first time! 😡

• Jonathan (@jonnyhern) reported 8 minutes agofromPontypool, Wales

  @Thom*oli @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

• Jens Fallesen (@JensFallesen) reported 10 minutes agofromHounslow, England

  @leksi_p Correct. If you do not have Freeview, Sky or Virgin (or any other cable service), you should not need to pay if you never watch it.

• Victims Voice (@victimsvoice73) reported 12 minutes agofromSheffield, England

  @reece_dinsdale @waynefoy @virginmedia Try message them on twitter they seem to get back to you quicker on social media .i stayed loyal to virgin for many years until the freeview episode when I changed to @SkyHelpTeam was so glad I did and it was cheaper by a lot virgin have no loyalty dad having same problem now x

• TRACEY LANE (@traceyfromrasen) reported 14 minutes agofromMarket Rasen, England

  @Kavismate @SkySportsRacing @RacingTV On my tablet the sound is fine but the live stream is very stuttery. Freeview still not working

• THE BRITISH RESISTANCE🌊🇪🇺🇺🇸🇬🇧📷🗽🎥 (@Unruly_Brit) reported 14 minutes agofromPlymouth, England

  Since I've removed my freeview box, I've never frlt so liberated before. Being in absolute control of the content I wish to see (My dvd collection) is the best thing I've ever done. No more Sky News or BBC News being rammed down my throat evry day.

• ken (@uk12345) reported 17 minutes agofromRomford, England

  @bt_uk I got a problem it's not my fault and it's not BT issue I lost a lot of Freeview channels in my flat I went to no cancel and said you can have a dish because aerials are very bad in your area where you live we've had a lot of people coming to us about the same problem

• TRACEY LANE (@traceyfromrasen) reported 20 minutes agofromMarket Rasen, England

  Just for a change @RacingTV Freeview is stopping, starting freeze framed. I pay good money for this service.

• Tracey Davies (@miss_traceydav) reported 20 minutes agofromCorby, England

  @CraigS0309 I agree but they shouldn’t be taking new customers - fixing only. (Since they generally charged extra for this service). some people are a bit naive presuming everyone has access to Freeview
