  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • MMendoza2021 Miguel. (@MMendoza2021) reported

    @dougmcfarlane41 @Freeview @TheNorthernEcho Poor, only HD channels and they keep losing signal. 5 out of 10 signal strength.

  • DiamondClasp Diamonds 💙 (@DiamondClasp) reported

    @StephenMangan @8twinge @SkyArts But you can't get Freeview on a laptop... (We don't have a tv signal here so have to stream everything)

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @MMendoza2021 @Freeview @TheNorthernEcho Poor or non?

  • TheDoctor2058 Anthony 🏳️‍🌈🎵 (@TheDoctor2058) reported

    so according to the freeview website a majority of people will get the signal back on wednesday. Whether or not that includes yours truly is a matter of time.

  • RalphMcTell1 Ralph McTell (@RalphMcTell1) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi, my TV is only recording some scheduled programmes in Freeview. It seems to affect all channels? Samsung advised to speak to you… can you help?

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @Mark56623345 High pressure may also be affecting Freeview reception. To identify if this is the cause: - Check to see if both ITV and Channel 4 have a problem. - If it's just ITV, it's the problem with the Freeview multiplex feed. - If it's both services, it's your reception.

  • MUFC_Larn Lana (@MUFC_Larn) reported

    @Natzz6487 @MissNicoleDeans I wouldn’t worry too much. You’ll still see the original on prime time tv at Christmas while this awful looking remake will get a slot on the Christmas channel on freeview at 7am in the morning on the 8th of December. Don’t fret

  • EileenIvy Eileen Satchell (@EileenIvy) reported

    @presentinglee I’m sorry to trouble you, but how can I get Freeview tv on my TSV I received today. I can only seem to get Pluto TV not the true Freeview. Obviously I have BBC, ITV, More 4 and My5, but I was hoping to get the standard Freeview channels x

  • whocaresaaron a2k (@whocaresaaron) reported

    2008 my family was so broke they got rid of Cartoon Network! They had me on freeview man 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠

  • joeylk71 Joanne Gray (@joeylk71) reported

    @LauGoesToLondon Does it help improve your Freeview signal? I'm due my third dose sometime this month (hopefully)
