  • 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

  • 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

  • Adjie16077 Claire Menzies (@Adjie16077) reported

    @Ofcom Fed Up with watching TV full of rubbish to many reality TV and full of too many daily repeats. Freeview lies about new series that are just moved repeated on different channels. When are we going to receive good news every day instead of constant bad news?

  • juneandnoz June Taylor (@juneandnoz) reported

    @scott_steve It is important. But if you don't want to watch it Freeview and Sky are doing other stuff. So change channels. Not a problem

  • herkinderkin John Johnston (@herkinderkin) reported

    @radionzmusic @radionz I can't see any Freeview listings for RNZ National after today. We have rubbish radio reception and terrible internet here, so Freeview is our only option to hear Nashville Babylon. HELP!

  • tenjinuk Darren Wheatley (@tenjinuk) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Could you tell me if there is anyone I can contact to log a problem with Freeview reception?

  • IBLaughing Ian Bowden (@IBLaughing) reported

    How did Netflix & Chill get to be slang for a hook-up? What about Sky Q & ****? Amazon Prime & ****? Freeview & ****? All4 & ***********? That said, I do identify with Netflix the most. I want a commitment and if they try to leave I send several emails begging them not to.

  • lobwinners Michael (@lobwinners) reported

    @SaraelisGarvey Exactly! All of the radio stations are playing slow/sensitive music, 4 of the 5 main tv stations are playing special programming. We have 24 hour news on freeview for this. It’s way too much

  • BrianBengal BengalBrian #FBSI🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@BrianBengal) reported

    @daviebroon51 I have and am watching the court case on Freeview channel 89, so am for the most not subjected to the MSM crap. 👍

  • beajayemac bruce macfarlane #RejoinEU A49 (@beajayemac) reported

    @RichardPTh @martindvz No not at all. I've just scanned down all the FreeView channels and there were at least two which weren't featuring Nick the Greek.

  • LY33KH4 Lyeekha (@LY33KH4) reported

    my freeview doesnt have good enough signal strength for non-bbc channels aarrurghhghghbgh

  • soxxylady Sharon 🦋 (@soxxylady) reported

    @SonyMoviesUK why is the sound always dodgy on freeview channel. Trying to watch karate kid 3 and the sound is crap
