  • 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

  • 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

  • Turner64559648 Turner (@Turner64559648) reported

    @MannieMighty1 And yet they will all watch her again next Thursday. I won't complain about her as I never watch her. At least 100 channels on Freeview and my TV has an off button.

  • Wyfan2 The Wilder Way - Patrick Wymark Boardroom (@Wyfan2) reported

    @RosalynConnors @RodneyMarshall1 You tell me..I've had Freeview freeze and black out like a signal problem before, but this seemed to be a continuous freeze frame right after saying, "shoot the first man that moves" (like a prank) and then a smooth cut to the next scene.

  • SS401 Paul Rogers 🇺🇦 🜃 (@SS401) reported

    Our Freeview has completely crashed - no signal on any channel. Is it just us? @AboutEG

  • GiveUsAQuid Sir Lefty Farr-Wright, Hard-Right Parody Account (@GiveUsAQuid) reported

    @rufc2022 Must admit, I've never seen Our Novara - I'd thought it was a type of lipstick. Can it be watched on the Hard-Right Freeview?

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @MarylouiseDarl3 Do you use a Freeview TV or box? And do you use any other TVs or boxes in your house? Do they have the same problem? Fraser

  • mike32277328 Mike Hammerswitch (@mike32277328) reported

    @nicky20 @piersmorgan Go to Freeview and keep scrolling down past Dave Ja Vue and the shopping channels, past GB News and Jim Davidson's channel & it's somewhere there

  • hitinman Just Davo (@hitinman) reported

    Interesting after 2 days of zero TV reception, as mysteriously as it vanished it is now back. I can guess there was a problem somewhere with an antenna that fed into our valley. #Freeview when it works.

  • daphnewheeler15 Daphne Wheeler (@daphnewheeler15) reported

    @GBNEWS Dear GBNews and Mr Rees-Mogg please can you do something to help you would be followers. We can't all get Freeview 236 channel. Planners wont allow a dish either HELP
