  • 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

  • KAK_Tweets Krys Cross! Cha Cha Real Smooth (@KAK_Tweets) reported from Treorchy, 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

  • DaveBStDW Dave Bowden (@DaveBStDW) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @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

  • 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)

  • oitappin Dan Tappin (@oitappin) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • iammarkjjackson Mark J. (@iammarkjjackson) reported

    @ThatsTVOfficial Great. You have to rely on the old classics due to most of the Freeview Channels being such crap

  • EastLight Ollie (@EastLight) reported

    @Lettiejp @AdeGardens @BBCNewsnight The BBC could encrypt its signals tomorrow - technically it's trivial to implement on both iPlayer and Freeview. But they continue to lie about this and to make excuses. I guess when your product is so poor, forcing people to pay for it makes sense. No-one would subscribe to BBC!

  • 4Viewers 4Viewers (@4Viewers) reported

    @Scrats_Nuts @Channel4 Hey there - are you still having issues with #Channel4? Is this upon Freeview?

  • Steven59066 Steven Dawson (@Steven59066) reported

    @RealRicPorter hey ric, right now I am watching BSX on freeview channel 673, the problem is, babestation needs to sort out the sound,

  • TobyHadoke Toby Hadoke (@TobyHadoke) reported

    John Levene has asked me to point everyone in the direction of the channel U&Eden (Freeview: Channel 57/Freesat: Channel 160) which is showing a bumper Benton package today : The Time Monster and The Three Doctors. Not a bad way to spend Boxing Day.

  • Rothbury01669 Stevio (@Rothbury01669) reported

    @Jo2901TF @elementalvenus I have a 63 year old child who couldn't live without it - I have Sky Q so it works seamlessly with a second TV without wires so I do like it for that, plus our TV signal is very bad where we live. We can only get the BBC channels on DAB radio and our freeview doesn't have things like GB News on it as we only get the main 30 or so channels as we're on a small transmitter. We can't even get Classic FM on DAB or FM

  • Dean24148909 𝟙𝟘𝟙𝟘𝟙𝟘 Lord Of the caravan @ Fircombe Hall™ (@Dean24148909) reported

    hoovered all the crap out and replaced 2 of the 4 main fuses), put back together and plugged it in ... the digi card started to load all the "freeview" TV stuff, & ended up with some radio channels and the BBC channels = just dead chuffed

  • William2001Wh William Hosking (@William2001Wh) reported

    @cordbusters Sky Satellite is better then streaming if your internet goes down your stuck with boring old freeview. I just hope Foxtel in Austraila where i live don't stop selling their iQ boxes otherwise i will use my tv as a computer monitor just to watch youtube nothing else.

  • aaroneh09 aaron allaby (@aaroneh09) reported

    NHL Center Ice from BELL must be on Freeview for the holiday season. i never ordered it. sounds good to me.

  • Steven59066 Steven Dawson (@Steven59066) reported

    @BethUndressed Accidents do happen, don't they beth, it was such a shame that both babestation and babenation on freeview channels 673 and 674 never came back on, X me back
