  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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

  • baggottsilver michael baggott (@baggottsilver) reported

    @BromleyCrossBoy I’m afraid I’m in the stone age with Freeview (absolutely not a fan of the paid services, the horrid Murdochcracy or Branston Pickled)

  • JamesHaughton2 James Haughton (@JamesHaughton2) reported

    @JackPittBrooke Going on to the Super League, would those owners have wanted games on the BBC or another Freeview channel? They might even have considered a Super League version of MOTD too much content not to put on their own streaming service or in a very expensive TV contract

  • SueWhitaker11 Sue Whitaker (@SueWhitaker11) reported

    @lenatrobins @Ursie27608090 Thanks ***, but it's not a retune issue. My Humax box does those automatically. 6% of the UK doesn't get GBNEWS on Freeview, & Buxton is amongst them 😬.

  • Jamie314159265 Jamie Buck (@Jamie314159265) reported

    Women's Prison Drama, Bad Girls S1/E2 (Freeview 20) starts in 45 minutes. (10:55PM UK). #UKTV #Drama #ITVBadGirls

  • LwtEmmaBird Sarah Harbour (@LwtEmmaBird) reported

    The Freeview signal is also not helping out with the BBC Olympics coverage right now... over the Discovery+ again...

  • gazzaeuro Gary Spence (@gazzaeuro) reported

    @TBNUKtv Aww @TBNUKtv! I do think if you had a shop on the website selling cups and t-shirts e.t.c. you could raise a lot of funds to help stay broadcasting on Freeview.

  • JimGilroy Jim ⚫️🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ 💙 (@JimGilroy) reported

    Wow! This thunderstorm is still doing it’s rounds. It’s even knocked our tv arial and satellite out. No signal on Freeview or Freesat. Thankfully I have a tv stick and an internet connection still.

  • deacon_adrian Adrian Deacon (@deacon_adrian) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice what is going on with freeview all signals are down in #Northampton

  • ADewiM Alex (@ADewiM) reported

    @King_Buxton @JeffGrubb Had to look it up to see if my memory was broken and I guess they just renamed UKTV G2 then Gold stopped being freeview a few years later.

  • jayaumes Jay Aumes (@jayaumes) reported

    @NickBuckleyMBE @DefundBBC Totally agree. I've been saying this for years. Unlike other people who suggest turning it into a subscription service, I say just force them to show commercials instead like all the other channels on Freeview.
