  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • jonnyhern Jonathan (@jonnyhern) reported from Pontypool, Wales

    @Thomoli @PhilipsCare_UK I’ve been waiting 8 weeks for same issue not worked for me since I bought my TV. I dont have an aeriel tho just satellite cable connected & internet but no catch up aps work or freeview

    @dontdoit61 Try an OS update. If you're streaming try 2.4 rather than 5ghz WiFi stream. Also if it's Freeview try attenuating the Ariel signal...

  • roasty88 Ryan McVeigh (@roasty88) reported

    @bread1970 @aewboro123 @Fightful Tbh ain't a bad deal ayozat is available on sky or through their app or website for anyone in the UK for free so availability is about as good as you get without being on freeview and as mentioned if they do well then a Freeview channel could pick them up at a later date.

  • arqiva Arqiva (@arqiva) reported

    Some Freeview viewers in the HG4 area have reported their channels freezing. Rescanning your TV with your aerial unplugged, then doing so again with the aerial plugged back in may help. For assistance call 0800 121 4828.

  • HolylandCulchie Holylands Culchie (@HolylandCulchie) reported

    @EamonHegarty I literally watched the match on Freeview via NI and check on my phone too. I was able to stream it via both the RTÉ player app and website. We have Virgin media and a ****** indoor aerial and even it picks up RTÉ Freeview signal.

  • charleyb2355 Charleyb2355 (@charleyb2355) reported

    @JohnInAdelaide1 @xskinn They are in the UK. I just use streaming and catch up. Never watch freeview. Even with my streaming fees it is cheaper than the licence fee.

  • maygrants jade misses liv and bella (@maygrants) reported

    why when li goes on longer does it never show on tv like i have to go to my silly little freeview app to check

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @scott_gamer @russty_russ I'm guessing they would have sold generic DTT boxes for free-to-air digital TV. Top-Up TV used to be on Freeview. Unusually the ntl:digital text service still ran and provided listings for ITV Digital channels long after Freeview had replaced it.

  • recovringlawyer Matt (@recovringlawyer) reported

    @newhandlehun @CahairOKane1 Many of us can’t access it on our TVs (I don’t have Sky and my Freeview doesn’t pick up RTÉ) and not every VPN service allows us to get around the GAA’s geoblocking.

  • EastLight EastLight (@EastLight) reported

    @malfouru48 Every Freeview TV has a CAM interface on the rear; in simple terms, a card slot, to facilitate access to encrypted services. The BBC could encrypt the signal tomorrow and all most people would need to do is insert a card into their TV. The BBC and Gov continue to lie about this.

  • Macronbo Ron Butler (@Macronbo) reported

    @talktoNHG I live in Old Kenton Lane. At least two flats in our block have reported a problem with Freeview that seems to indicate a problem with the communal system. Most flats use Sky. Tried your app but did not have the right options to report.
