    @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

    @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

    @soph_letitia It’s on FreeSports not Premier, you can watch it online or on FreeView if you can get it on your TV down there

    @PhilipsCare_UK hi, all my freeview apps (iPlayer, itv hub all4) have stopped working on my TV. Performed update on tv. Still no joy. Model is 55OLES805/12. Tried clearing data and checked I have HBBTV cookies enabled. Any help appreciated.

  • chrisandmarkuk ❄️❄️❄️ Chris ❄️❄️❄️ (@chrisandmarkuk) reported

    @MarinaHyde I can’t believe this happened. Horrendous for those people involved but as a bystander it’s like a terrible plot for a mini series you see on the Freeview ‘drama’ channels. Absolute madness.

  • bvdsteel elin/elle (idc) on bastille tour ⚡️ (@bvdsteel) reported

    obviously inferno is the worst of the 3 but when you have ****** freeview vs dante goodness you take what you can get

  • positiv07652695 positive vibes 💚💙 (@positiv07652695) reported

    @LizahatesTories They said they could offer more for the same money but wouldn’t/couldn’t bring the price down. We’ve all got data on our phone so the other option would be freeview but it’s so limited. Mustn’t grumble if we want the tv and broadband.

  • MikeARPowell The Black Jack (@MikeARPowell) reported

    @premierinn @ukJ0N If the TV signal is Freeview off a terrestrial aerial then this channel may be on Multiplex that can't be received by the current aerial installation. It is broadcast on the same COM 6 Multiplex as RT News (channel 234).

    @InspireAndStyle @FreeviewAdvice Hi Karen, I had the same problem and I done a software update on my TV and reset the TV to default again after the update and it worked. You may also need to update the freeview app from your TV store (android play store) or LG store for example.

    Freeview is ****

  • Tetchywayo Tetchywayo (@Tetchywayo) reported

    @orbette Even the slightest wind caused issues with our digital freeview signal (which living on coast made it permanently unwatchable). Most of yer live tv should still be watchable on iPlayer, ITVHub, All4 etc. though.

    @MSE_Deals @MoneySavingExp We are about to cancel Sky or at least have a conversation with them to try and reduce the outgoing. We have Disney for the kids and Netflix, one of them will be going. Wondering if FreeView & a Firestick would be better?
