  • 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.

    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

  • 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)

    @nigelwUK @MatthewMarks42 @bobdvb Odd. It must be doing a 5.1->2.0 PCM fold-down rather than a 5.1 PCM output I guess. There is no stereo on Freeview HD when 5.1 is being broadcast. (On satellite there is a parallel stereo audio description feed)

  • Iain643 Iain Dear (@Iain643) reported

    @FoggWee This is true Yesterday morning flicked across to the TalkingPictures TV Channel 82 freeview Anyway short film about centre of London from 1935!!! and Westminster was covered in Scaffolding I thought that's not bad 85 Years later nothing has changed

  • silverwind9999 silverwind (@silverwind9999) reported

    @compo99 @irishkazza @BorisJohnson I have an old phone, don’t smoke or drink, only have freeview, haven’t been on holiday in over a decade, never owned designer anything, have had the same old trainers for years and have only gotten one small tattoo in the last 5 years that I saved up for for months. Try again 🙄

  • TheDailySledge William (@TheDailySledge) reported

    @dilusionalworld @glenpen60 @SkyNewsAust I have never watched it, we use the the station block of so I don't have to deal with tabloid TV BS, the station was a failure on pay-per-view so had to move to Freeview to get anyone to watch the biased BS their shock-jocks waffle on about, watching it can give you brain damage

  • UKurbanite UK Urbanite (@UKurbanite) reported

    @DefundBBC The problem with a subscription service, it that it needs subscription hardware. When Freeview first appeared, receivers often included a card slot, allowing encrypted channels to be decoded. If similar functionality still exists, I've seen no sign of it.

  • bord_f500 w/ wifi&nos - standardised pasteurised homogenised (@bord_f500) reported

    @OrdinaryGamers C'mon, I saw this **** advertised on TV all the time when I still had Freeview.

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @WASPCommander Sadly we don't control your signal strength, you need to speak with your service provider, who should be able to advise you/help you. Is its Freeview? Freeview advice line on 03456 505050.

  • Bicycle_Nuts Bicycle Nuts (@Bicycle_Nuts) reported

    @JohnBalley1 Young people don't watch broadcast TV, so it's nothing to do with you getting old. BTW I cancelled my liscence because the freeview signal is so bad. I hardly know anyone who wastes money on a TV liscence these days.

    @soniasodha @SkyNews @anitabboateng There's no magic money tree. You'll never get on GB News (freeview 236) unless you can comment practically on these issues.
