@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

@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

Continually frustrated by @TalkTalk and its inconsistent service and performance. Have today purchased a freeview recorder to replace their box and will be actively looking for new broadband provider.

@simesa @cleanfeed_ttvr Won't that HD service be online, though? No capacity on Freeview!

@scotthatley @a516digital @ukdtt Freeview is very poor under the relay service, if they decide to bring in an ip fallback option, that should be there first priority,

@Simon_OW Wasn't it terrible? It was like something you'd see on an obscure Freeview channel, not the platform with the biggest original content budget in the world.

BBC to "support the distribution of S4C services across multiple platforms". Adds weight to comment in BBC Three Public Interest Test about allocating bandwidth to S4C HD in Wales on Freeview.

@AmazonHelp I'm using a JVC smart TV that "Works With Alexa", and it's connected to my Wi-Fi. Netflix works, but YouTube, Amazon Prime, Freeview Play and the Alexa feature has connection problems.

@a516digital Im talking about bbc on sky and freesat of course, and itv when you know how to tune it in. But this will be good news, i hope it also triggers some form of support for freeview users.

@SkipperAFC I had a pal who did the usual cancel and wait for them to call him back with the good offer, but they never called him and now he has to watch freeview like he’s an inmate

I have a contractor over to finally fix the aerial and the freeview coverage in the house. I offered him tea/coffee but he refused. I am not sure what I am supposed to do right now. The citizenship test did not prepare me for this.

@7plus why is your Freeview app not working. Constantly loading. Have not received reply from tech support. Panasonic viera TV. All other channels work fine.
