  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

    @je_au @MichaelWestBiz I agree on the conditional DRM thing, though not 'trivial'. Also a confusing user experience. Example (real world, lived, me) - FreeView TV app no login - many TVs have Freeview AND native apps. Freeview has "missing content" for that reason - customer complaints result !

  • stevemelville83 steveratio (@stevemelville83) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I live in AL1 district of ST Albans and as of 20.30, 15/3/2022 we lost Freeview. We receive our signal from the Crystal Palace transmitter, do you know of any problems?

  • Garybo1977 Gary Hall (@Garybo1977) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    The Good The Bad and the Ugly and Kill Bill are currently beside each other on Freeview channels. Dichotomy

  • BegbieCat3 McCoubrey Cat (@BegbieCat3) reported

    @EilisOHanIon I record all episodes of every series that I want to watch on my old Freeview+ box and never start watching until the whole series is recorded. It's the only bit of self-control I can exercise these days. It also means I can >>Fast Forward>> the adverts in 30 second jumps.

  • SnapeHugh hugbilly (@SnapeHugh) reported

    @RadioTimes I have done that, but the site doesn't seem able to remember one's chosen service provider between visits. Despite my remaining logged in it always defaults back to "Popular Channels" rather than remembering that I had selected "Freeview" previously . . .

  • DarkNightMoofie ✌🏻Gary/Gawy✌🏻 (@DarkNightMoofie) reported

    @Forces_TV are there any plans to bring your channel to the non HD service of Freeview?

  • SnapeHugh hugbilly (@SnapeHugh) reported

    @RadioTimes Thanks for the reply and I understand the intention. What is slightly more annoying is that the site no longer allows one to set a default service provider (i.e. Sky or Freesat.) I use Freeview and it used to be that once I'd selected that service as the provider the page would

  • SatwantBee Satwant Bee (@SatwantBee) reported

    @rlrossi64 Good question. I'm guessing: network television; broadcast TV; digital TV channels; Freeview. Creates a distinction between those and streaming services, I guess.

  • PhilJBowers Phil Bowers (@PhilJBowers) reported

    @horror_channel Hi, I've just bought a freesat box and trying to access Horror Bites, but when I go to channel 138 I only get the existing Freeview channel, how can I access the in demand service on Freesat?

  • jonie1303 jonie1303 #NHSLove💙 #corbynwasright #gtto (@jonie1303) reported

    @aunty_shirley @RhonddaBryant RT vanished off sky and Freeview in the UK when the EU banned the awful channel from using certain satellites so it couldn't broadcast in the UK
