@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

@DooHopper Pick will be an interesting case, no hd an awful picture on Freeview, good slot number but not much heft from Sky to push it.

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)

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

@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.

@bt_uk Hi Aaron, I am in complete disbelief as to how long this takes to resolve. I don’t care who resolves it & not my problem he’s not in. I’m paying full price for freeview! I demand compensation and a quick resolve as this is just embarrassing for @bt_uk

@GBNEWS My parents are nearly 70. They do not want and will never get the Internet apart from on their phones. Their TV in the bedroom broke but they still use freeview boxes. Try to buy a new 40" TV that doesn't need the internet.. its impossible. Telly really is dead already..

@HumaxUK FVP_5000T. Cannot go backwards in the EPG anymore. Players screen often doesn't launch properly, giving me no way into Freeview Play providers. Live TV app doesn't work properly and hasn't been updated in years. Any plans to fix any of this? #humax

@hitinman ALWAYS issues with Freeview, they just tell you to retune 3 or 4 times then say you equipment is at fault. Never their bad service!

@Stuart_NashMP I understand you are in charge of Freeview. Just letting you know that I have an issue that a number of people are experiencing, but all communications with Freeview go into the void, I have msg'd them 4 times and called them 4 times. No response from any of them

@DianeHaywood71 I know. Our lounge TV doesn't work without WiFi as the internal freeview box dies ages ago and we have to use a firestick for that. It's never ending this no WiFi lark ... 🙄

Just asking. How come there is no 9pm news on any Freeview channel? 9pm used to be the main news of the day. The nearest that I can find is BBC "The Context". WTF? I may be getting old but why would I be interested in watching something called "The Context"?
