  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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.

    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

    @TonyB2929 Hello Tony, Do you have a screenshot of the issue (or a video) so we can better understand what's going on? What model is your Samsung TV? Are you using Freeview or any other service to watch our content? Thanks!

  • HobbitsWife Hobbits Wife 💙 (hobbitswife@fosstodon.org) (@HobbitsWife) reported

    Oh good so no @ITVX on @FreeviewTV then? #ItvHin refuses to load. Seems an odd decision not to support freeview!

  • philrandal Phil Randal (@philrandal) reported from Herefordshire, England

    Not at all surprised to find that @itvx is a pile of rubbish. Not integrated into Freeview Play's TV guide, no Channel list in the app's UI, so using it for catch up is a pain in the neck. Didn't they do any usability tests? Unbelievably bad. That's if it loads... #itvx

  • c911hak Chris Hak (@c911hak) reported

    Just received s message from your 'service centre' saying 'we're sorry you're having problems with your broadband service' I'M NOT, I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITHMY FREEVIEW BOX. If only I could speak to someone, I could explain the problems I'm having!!!

  • m44rte Martin (@m44rte) reported

    @madebygoogle does your Google TV support Freeview app in UK. The web seems to suggest yes but I can't find the app

  • SanGrownUn1 Stephen Houghton (@SanGrownUn1) reported

    @MartinSLewis Freeview+ has more choice in any 24hrs to need to pay for Any ppv streaming service,which in Current CoL climate is far more practical; I am surprised you are suggesting anyone would choose ppv wrt Any Budgeting advice & I would Frown on Anyone streaming & using Food-bank assist.
