  • 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

  • RobbieCub7 Rob Morgans (@RobbieCub7) reported from Margam, Wales

    @FreeviewTV @fb2070 My mother has had the same problem. Didn’t have any channels, so I retuned the Freeview box. HD channels are now missing. Can you advise please?

    And does this apply to Freeview Play TVs also when not being connected to an internet feed. Many thanks, have an issue with a TV to try and resolve

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @theJeremyVine @thetrainline @AvantiWestCoast No because from August 10th 2021 until January 5th 2022 we had no Freeview signal thanks the Bilsdale transmitter fire so no TV whatsoever for us. Temporary service restored out of 220+ channels we've got 30 channels. So missed every single one of those and we had 1/2

    @dhothersall It is currently in talks to have its service broadcast on Sky and Freeview as is the case in Germany and Italy. You have not answered the point about the impact of the BBC being banned to prevent a channel which will be accessible anyway due to existing treaties.

    @Mrpaulfox @Potatoe_Waffles @Machobeard4life Digital TV only allows the 5 main channels everything else is freeview, most of us rely on WiFi to view American products, because not all of us have a freeview box because we don't wanna pay TV licence of the thieving BBC, which has literally the worst programming on it

    @ReutersUK His freeview must've been down for the past two years, he ain't getting any local news.

  • NargacugaGale 𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒎𝒔 𝑾𝒊𝒇𝒖 (@NargacugaGale) reported

    Dear Freeview, why do you always air the same **** from night's ago? Or stuff like movies, which where shown a week ago? Do you know how many movies and show's there is? Change thing's up cause repetitive crap every day, every week of every month of the year- ain't worth paying

  • terrymccrum Terry McCrum (@terrymccrum) reported

    @SkyUK It is really not good. Switches itself off even when set not to ! The playlist doesn’t always work- you can only watch stuff as agreements are valid & some stuff is immediately unavailable! Many channels missing which are on satellite. Rewind / ffwd poor. No real Freeview etc

  • Ursie68836049 ursie (@Ursie68836049) reported
