  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • angelauk1900 Angela🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧 (@angelauk1900) reported

    @JanetMcwee I haven't had a TV aerial for about 20 years. No longer have a Sky box so I watch Freesat via TV ( similar to Freeview) and stream everything else, catchup, iplayers, netflix etc via internet although I do subscribe to NOW TV which is a Sky streaming service.

  • ManfacilityW Manfacility Metal Works (@ManfacilityW) reported

    Smokey and the bandit 3 just started on paramount network on freeview. Only ever seen it once..

  • arcarver87 Alex R Carver Author (@arcarver87) reported

    Bloody great. Apparently there's planned engineering works on the Mendip #Freeview transmitter so we can't get a single bloody channel. Why BT uses Freeview for half their channels instead of transmitting them all through their net service I don't know.

  • Scot_Infidel DonaldM1951 (@Scot_Infidel) reported

    @JanetMcwee We have cable, But also freeview aerial in case cable goes down.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

  • AndrewJFrizzell Andy Frizzell (@AndrewJFrizzell) reported

    The EPG for @FreeviewTV Play on my TV is excruciatingly slow. Is this a @PanasonicUK thing or are all TV’s slow at scrolling through the channels in Freeview play?

  • thematabot Matt (@thematabot) reported

    @LankyCarGuy Who cares if it's on freeview **** paying hundred a month for television

  • jsinclair29 James Sinclair (@jsinclair29) reported

    @JanetMcwee We have no aerial, have satellite dish that we use for FreeSat. Took the thing down a few years back was thinking of putting it back up to get Freeview, new one.

  • Ben_Blackman Ben Blackman (@Ben_Blackman) reported

    My SMART tv is not near a tv Ariel socket. We usually just watch iPlayer, netflix, now tv etc but I would like to be able to cut out the faff of that to access the freeview channels and menu sometimes.

  • PCarmichaelVO Paul Carmichael (@PCarmichaelVO) reported

    @Oldgitsville The disabled as nobody else makes programmes for them. Same goes for Welsh and Gaelic speakers. Also school kids who access BBC Educational resources for free at school/college & the poor/elderly who use Freeview would be screwed as the licence fee pays to maintain transmitters.
