  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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)

    All channels on Freeview are unwatchable at the moment. Been like that for a few days, terrible service.

  • SanGrownUn1 Stephen Houghton (@SanGrownUn1) reported

    @witherjay1 @BeaumontDMD Following My reference to '62/'63 was worst & longest winter I experienced, there is currently a Totally relevant Docu on BBC_FOUR, Freeview Ch.9 & repeated again @ 02:55 tomorrow [later tonight]

  • adventure_ali_ AdventureAli (@adventure_ali_) reported

    Evening tweeps! Got a conundrum - my aerial socket doesn't work and I keep missing the cricket. Freeview app doesn't work on Chromecast and indoor rabbit ears work minimally. What am I supposed to do to get free to air tv? Only option I can think of is stream from phone or lappy

    @gringolito @Jessrocks71 @antmiddleton Jess would never cook a turtle!!!! Yeah I watch freeview too!!! You’re not that clever!!!!

  • Alex_B_2002 Alex (@Alex_B_2002) reported

    @Agrannywhosaid1 Fine by me. Currently the BBC's forced funding model relies on the false claim that "Freeview doesn't support encrypted subscription services".

  • UKTVPlayHelp UKTV Play Help (@UKTVPlayHelp) reported

    @TonyB2929 Hello Tony, Do you have a screenshot of the issue (or a video) so we can better understand what's going on? What model is your Samsung TV? Are you using Freeview or any other service to watch our content? Thanks!
