    @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

    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)

    @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

    @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

    .@Freeview question - how come the PSB muxes aren’t treated equally? The BBC one and the HD one seem to have a much better signal from Wenvoe than the “normal” ITV one. (I can get Mendip off a random bit of metal.)

    @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

    Why is the BBC World Service so hard to obtain EXCEPT in the one area which is explicitly not the target audience? In the UK the World Service is available 24/7 on DAB and I think Freeview and Freesat/Sky.

    Ministers are now using slow ultrafibre broadband rollout as reason to keep the licence fee until 2038! Rubbish! Without the live TV tax people could watch freeview. Meanwhile, it's on the rest of us to switch to on-demand and #DefundTheBBC by legally cancelling our TV licences.

    @PhilipsCare_UK hello. All freeview channels and apps (iplayer 4od etc) on my 55PUS7304 have completely stopped working. Happened when we upgraded to fibre broadband..? Please help!

    @bt_uk Well good news and bad, the good news is the guide is back on, the bad news I've only got my internet channels 340 onwards working, so I think it's a local Freeview issue with the terrestrial channels

  • UnicornUnbound
    Grant (@UnicornUnbound) reported

    @Lily_McSnarly @TalkingPicsTV Ta for that...had never heard of this channel, but will look it up on Freeview.

  • DJEmz1990

    so until i can afford the upfront fees im pretty much stuck with virgin, but Sky have offered me ok speeds i think it did include basic freeview style tv which i wont use and phone but it has a 3 year price fix and is only a third of what im paying now

  • SimonDelafield
    Simon Delafield (@SimonDelafield) reported

    @talkRADIO @calvinrobinson @PatrickChristys As I understand it, the argument is that because of poor broadband the BBC can’t move to a Netflix like service at this time. But it could be a subscription platform on Freeview - they already exist. It doesn’t need to be on broadband to be a subscription service.

  • Vinlandmapinfo
    David Bradbury (@Vinlandmapinfo) reported

    @ruzzfeed @back_the_BBC Not such a chasm as it appears. The government wants to run down the Freeview system and prioritise streaming, with help from the BBC & ITV, but current broadband can't cope with 10 million people watching an England World Cup match at the same time.

    @a516digital Ive reached the conclusion now, that reception in my location is poor, along with about 62 others. Dispite scripted advice from freeview. No it does not work. My parents live about a mile from me, they can get, oxford, sandy heath, crystal palace

    Freeview channel 53 crashed the smart tv. Google said unplug, and then said reflow the motherboard in oven 🔥. Managed to solve it by pressing lots of buttons all at once whilst holding down the power button onto AV menu🍺
