  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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)

    I've had to bite the bullet and cancel my Sky TV package today as I just can't afford it anymore. I have 'practiced' watching Freeview tonight thinking that it can't be that bad. I've resorted to watching Gregg Wallace walking round a yoghurt factory.

  • ukaudiophile Dave Allcock (@ukaudiophile) reported

    @landofthe80s @80sThen80sNow @80s_Kidz A note for #Airwolf fans out there, Paramount Network, UK Freeview ch.32 are showing 'Airwolf' again between 1.10am & 4.50am every night.

  • JohnSpencerTV John Spencer (@JohnSpencerTV) reported

    So I went down shop and got my gear with some shopping. First impressions yay I'm back, 2nd what's up with the 360 format? It looks like freeview, but worse you look at old shows and they look alive, the only difference between dead and alive is a little white line.

  • Luke1972 Luke (@Luke1972) reported

    @DylanGristwood Never really had any problems with them but this box is frustrating. I’d happily go freeview and use apps but family didn’t want that.

  • andyjay77 Andy Jay (@andyjay77) reported

    @owlsfan83 @jamesdanw Yep I get that Ben, can she can get some help from someone to set up Freeview access, so can stay in touch via red button ?

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @cj_freeway if it’s Freeview give their free helpline a call 0808 100 0288they will help you get us back!

  • boblowes Bob Lowes (@boblowes) reported

    @HjRobins @MaxCCurtis There used to have a few hundred homes they would survey, and extrapolate fron that. These days, digital TV boxes (Sky, Freesat, Virgin, some Freeview, etc, as well as streaming services send much more accurate data down the phone line about what you're watching.

  • moogal moogal 💙 (@moogal) reported

    When they last shifted the Freeview channels around, some idiot didn't seem to realise that the Channel 4 timeshifted channel "4seven" was on channel 47 for a reason...

  • 1607WestEgg Daniel Ruiz Tizon (@1607WestEgg) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi, I've lost all my freeview channels in the last couple of weeks. Has coincided with arrival of a new BT box. Have checked Freeview page and says 'planned works' in area. I need to establish if the issue is the box or Freeview. Please advise. Thanks.

  • ohwondrs katie 🌻 (@ohwondrs) reported

    this argument will never fail to be ridiculous... i only had freeview tv, internet that wasn’t unlimited & i didn’t have a smartphone until i could pay for one when i got a job at 16. yet i still needed free school meals so i didn’t go hungry at lunch. the tabloids are full of bs
