  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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

    @grantshapps @DrSpock_PhD @RishiSunak And what of country folk with NO public transport (plus crap broadband, crap mobile signal (or none), crap electric supply, no freeview signal, crap water supply, and sky-high Council Tax with virtually no services.

  • MaJules64 MaJules (@MaJules64) reported

    @jasonpeacock8 @arqiva Compensation for what? A service you don't even pay for in the first place, you don't pay for Freeview, the clue is in the name. As you have Virgin Media you still have access to live TV so are not due any sort of refund.

    @Richard92654559 Hi Richard, I am sorry to hear that you have been having issues with your Freeview channels. So we can look into this further can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • rozlaws Roz Laws (@rozlaws) reported

    @jonnylaws1 No. Socket in wall connected to dish/aerial, which is connected to my box and is allowing me to watch tv that way. But I liked the option to also watch Freeview, handy if lots of progs on at same time. The ‘source’ on tv screen now says there’s no tv signal that way, not sure why

  • AdamBede3 Adam Bede (@AdamBede3) reported

    @dawneva3 @TalkingPicsTV I looked it up it is channel 81 on Freeview and I scan the the channels and it wasn't there, I wonder if anyone elsse has had trouble? There was a 60's film on the other day I wanted to see.

  • JahaanTweets 🌺JahaanTweet🌺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@JahaanTweets) reported

    I've decided 100% to cancel Sky TV once my contract is up. I'll use a recordable Freeview box in the living room. And I've got Amazon Prime video, so that's enough TV channels and will save money.

  • tinopener1 tinopener (@tinopener1) reported

    @AyoCaesar Awww, don't be cruel. Put a little fish paste on the collar. Ash Sarkar! Ask Sarkar! You're going to be on GB News (freeview channel 236) next segment! It seems somebody may have taken issue with something you have said. Hmmmmmmmmm...

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @andyfidler66 Hi Andy, I am so very sorry you cannot access Channel 51. The number of channels available on Freeview depends on where you get your television signal from. Great Christmas Movies broadcast on a Local MUX (frequency) which unfortunately is not available from all transmitters.

  • antnorwe Anthony Norwood (@antnorwe) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi Lisa. I definitely have a TCL television however when I go to use Freeview Play or one of the Freeview Play apps I'm prompted to accept terms and conditions that never appear. How can I check if my specific TV should have Freeview Play working.
