  • 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)

  • 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

    @jonwensley @LauraPh222 @BBCDanielS I watch ITV and freeview so I’m forced. Seriously can’t remember the last time I used a service they provide.

    @nmsonline @lukejones03 my main issue is non presence of CNN on freeview so i have to throw my laptop to TV. This can be… buggy

    @GBNews24_7 I hope this gets noticed. I was really looking forward to watching GB News but there are hurdles! Where I live, Freeview has 16 channels, Virgin Media are miles away and I'll never subscribe to Sky. I do have Freesat though. Any chance of launching on that platform?

    @RobsBottin80 Scarry isn't it Sadly I only have Freeview as I'm not prepared to be forced to subscribe as that's the idea Show utter and total brainless **** on a constant basis to force folk to pay for a semblance of decent Viewing But they forget about the elderly who can't afford to do it

  • LachlanMain Lachlan Main (@LachlanMain) reported

    @jameswharton Watching The Man Who Never Was on the Freeview Sony channel. Interesting episode from WW2.

    @BBCWorld No wonder! Freeview is crap and we are sitting at home!

    @S29Mik I never had Disney but freeview shows >>>

  • bonerecords Brian Tucker (@bonerecords) reported

    @curryspcworld we purchased an LG OLED tv on the understanding that it had freeview play that gives us catchup tv such as uktv....... Help, we can’t find it, not too happy. Purchased this year........

  • BarrySkellern BarryOne Is Not A Cellist (@BarrySkellern) reported

    @foxtrotluna Not too bad, yeah. Tradeoff for us (well, my wife and kids, I hardly use it) is that we'd have to get a third-party DVR box for freeview, and they cost quite a few months worth of cheap-*** TV package.
