  • 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)

  • 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.

    Movie Pick of the Day (UK Freeview) Nightbreed (1990) Dir. Clive Barker Horror Channel - 22:55 I despised Nightbreed when it was released, but only because of how much of an utter **** Craig Sheffer was in Some Kind of Wonderful, three years previous. I hold grudges.

  • PieEatinGooner Ian Collett 🍒⚪️🏉 (@PieEatinGooner) reported

    Hotel again...means one thing...**** film on freeview 🥴

  • LeonBarrington Leon (@LeonBarrington) reported

    @putasinghonit Just pay £28 for WiFi. I got rid of my sky tv package (was £98) and just opted for £13 NOWTV (entertainment and movies), Netflix, D+, Prime etc as well as usual freeview channels. Never looked back

  • marshallmaps Roversgotmeagain (@marshallmaps) reported

    @911Amelia @anetevt @SkyNewsBreak Why would anyone watch Sky News? I can get their "News" channel on Freeview but have hidden the channel to keep my blood pressure down.

  • margatesunsets Fiona K. (@margatesunsets) reported from Margate, England

    @dancludlow Never thought of it even. Not that worried, there'll be a solution. It supposedly has Freesat & Freeview on it. Will have to try to get D's son out here, if he ever stays still, he'll know! TV is 2020 model, hardly top of the range but good enough for me.

  • EmilyKitv Emily Knight (@EmilyKitv) reported

    @YarnallKate Ok, You are watching us on Sky SD, we are still on channel 103 but only in HD, to receive us on Sky channel 103 you’ll need to upgrade to an HD service by contacting Sky. If you don’t want to upgrade we are on Freeview HD and Freesat HD - free no subscription service.

  • allypabdn AllyP (@allypabdn) reported

    @UladhGael @ClarNiUigin Here, it's channel 9 on Freeview but 115 on Sky. BBC Scotland. That's probably no help whatsoever though.

  • racefaceec90 adam cunningham (@racefaceec90) reported

    @discoveryplus thank the gods this is subscription only,as i will never ever have to watch any of it on freeview. jesus christ can your bloody adverts too (every 5 mins or less it seems on just about all channels). i will never want to watch any of your programs.

  • amandaglass_ Amanda (@amandaglass_) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I also don't have freeview, but I think the tv has freeview in it. Is it just as simple as taking the HDMI cable out the back of my current tv and into the back of my new one? Coz I can do that no problem. With tv off obviously

  • sminkypinky76 SminkyPinky 🇪🇺 (@sminkypinky76) reported

    I’ve sent a third email to the building management about our lack of freeview signal. I have left out the part about where I am unable to watch Talking Pictures and CBS Drama and it’s pissing me off now.
