  • 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

  • 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)

    @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

    @DanielaNadj I wish the EU would runs a news channel on Freeview. RT did, Al Jazeera does, why not the EU? Euronews is available and OK as far as it goes, but it is quite limited. An opportunity for the EU to develop its own 'World Service'.

  • lisabriercliffe Lisa B (@lisabriercliffe) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice my freeview channels went last night and still not back, lots of people in Brecon have the same issue, can you advise please?

  • rcscribbler Rob Chapman (@rcscribbler) reported

    @quantick @ArtyVapes @MJowen174 I caught one of his TV shows last week on a freeview channel we don't have here. I'd forgotten how rancid some of that was, Captain Kremen whatever it was called. God it was awful.

    @aryomjapes @Beccabell05 @katemassey77 The beloved just records them & deletes the adverts if we might want to watch it again, or just fast forwards thro' them if not. We *never* see adverts because we never watch anything live. (Also only watch freeview 'cos there's more than enough to watch on there.)

  • PipJGreen Pip Green (@PipJGreen) reported

    Frustrating that communal Freeview TV aerial in a @THHomes block still not working despite repair promised for last Wednesday. Signal distorted, intermittent or non-existant depending on channel. Minor, unless getting out for entertainment is an issue.

  • KiaStarmer Kia Starmer GT 🇬🇧🇺🇦 🕖 (@KiaStarmer) reported

    @Leon_C @gerry_berry I'm really not sure about the direction @BritishAlba's social media team have gone in though. They should stick to what they know - cheap tellies with crap freeview tuners.
