  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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)

    @FreeviewAdvice Who the hell came up with this bxxxdy Freeview signal idea. Whoever wants his/her IQ tested. I am watching a program on 5USA and then nothing. They must have taken all of a week to test it. BBC1-100%, 5USA-0%. Do I have to pray for rain? (Low pressure system).

  • HughSykes Hugh Sykes (@HughSykes) reported

    @producerjoe On my Freeview list it's with the other HD channels right down before the radio stations. And you can get to it quicker if you scroll up from BBC 1 and past the radio channels..

  • ROBERT12772279 ROBERT GRIFFITHS (@ROBERT12772279) reported

    @freeview no signal Sutton Coldfield transmitter

  • Kewjonrichard wife seeker (@Kewjonrichard) reported

    @roger44 @FreeviewTV Wow 3 hours no signal in Swindon what do we get let me tell you. No apology. No explanation. No idea when freeview returns. Total silence. Maybe you need better staff. Better customer service and maybe a new brand, I suggest you try crap tv it's discriptiveand and true. 🤔

  • auto_tech_pilot caroline mckenzie (@auto_tech_pilot) reported

    @daztraction @smokeybarkid Which is fine while Sky Arts is still on Freeview, a problem when that (inevitably) stops...

  • Kewjonrichard wife seeker (@Kewjonrichard) reported

    @ITSBIGTONE @FreeviewTV On other social media freeview is now being called crap tv. I'd have to say the service is disgusting and a note to advertiser using freeview platform. Waste of cash thousands are being denied a signal

  • Kewjonrichard wife seeker (@Kewjonrichard) reported

    @NikkiDiddams @FreeviewTV Freeview aka crap tv have never been able to supply a decent signal we lost any signal last night from 9pm till 1am I'm actually emailing advertisers to let them know if they had advertised that time period Swindon sn3 and thousands in UK could not see them to get refunds

  • NOWHelpTeam NOW Help Team (@NOWHelpTeam) reported

    @petew2804 Hi Peter, Whether you've got a Smart Box with Freeview or a Smart Box with 4K and Voice Search, you'll find the reset button on the bottom of your Box. For a factory reset, hold the button down for about 6 seconds.

  • AdeBamber Ade Bamber (@AdeBamber) reported

    @ITV when will all itv go to hd for freeview or itv hub customers its 2021 time to scrap sd sure people wouldn't turn to streaming as much if you need netflix prime and disney don't seem to have a problem with it hd standard and uhd

  • ian0nai Ian McClure (@ian0nai) reported from Ayrshire, Scotland

    @DarcyLloydJoyce @guardiannews Was the best, they've been running it down, watch Sky Arts disappear from Freeview once BBC4 is out the way.
