  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 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

    @Prof_Nostalgia @TPTVEncore @freesat_tv It's just Freeview for now. We cannot make promises but will continue to consider all possibilities for the future development of the service whenever possible.

  • Lemonhunny Lemonhunny (Lesley) 💉💉💉💙💙 (@Lemonhunny) reported

    @Toughtruth5 @StGilesHighKirk Nobody had to have it on 24/7. If you did, you're stupid. I probably haven't watched 3 hours all told, because amazingly in 2022, there are lots and lots of other free channels, showing regular programmes, even without subscriptions (Freeview etc). Or maybe, just turn it off?

  • Redeyes1878 RedWhiteBlack1878 (@Redeyes1878) reported

    Watching Real Madrid on @PremierSportsTV because of their Freeview offering. Never watched such poor coverage of any event. Poor sound, awful commentary, absolute amateur offering. Like watching a match on FIFA20.

  • ascottreid Scott Reid (@ascottreid) reported

    @scottygb Also - and I'm not an expert in this and I could be wrong - is there not a technical issue where it's a bad idea for too many Freeview channels to show the same thing at the same time? I'd assumed that's why BBC Three and BBC Four were off the air rather than simulcasting.

    UK people: Knight Rider is on from now until 3pm on Freeview Legend channel. This has been a public service announcement.

    @Margare62511181 Apart from a few webmail issues Eir is the way to go. SKY treated me like a nuisance caller instead of a valued customer.Maybe things have changed over the last ten years & it no longer sends legally sounding threatening letters even tho it was it's own fault. Advise: Freeview😟

  • Ale_n_Metal j t (@Ale_n_Metal) reported

    @NateDawg27 @shedden Yep. A lot of older/isolated people will only have freeview/radio so putting it just on bbc news 24/world service for rolling reporting with any new news on standard news bulletin programmes would be better

  • BenVanDerVelde Ben Van Der Velde (@BenVanDerVelde) reported

    Internet is down, so forced to forage for a movie on Freeview. Stumbled on Equilibrium with Christian Bale and Sean Bean and woah baby is it incredibly silly dystopia. I have just watched a scene containing, and I can't believe I'm writing this, fascist tai chi.

    @datnofact yeah i mean clearly the british media is doing this ****. its literally the only thing on the freeview channels main channels. bloody who gives a toss.
