    @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)

  • 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

  • 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

    @SianJasper I only do Freeview but it’s interesting what’s shown and what isn’t. I have never seen Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing. I recently watched a documentary on Black Hollywood - never even heard of half of the films.

  • mspaintera you can make my name out of "nyaitchinisan" (@mspaintera) reported

    @FreeviewTV freeview i have a serious question , what’s the point of your service it just redirects you to other apps

  • Jon_oh_oh_7 Jonathan (@Jon_oh_oh_7) reported

    Is it multitoom compatible? What happens when cancel subscription? The tv wont have built in freeview so will b redundant @SkyHelpTeam #skyglass

  • the80smovieclub The '80s Oozy Blood (@the80smovieclub) reported

    I might be into retro **** but it's rough going back to stay with a parent for a few days. No WiFi, basic Freeview and having to take a bath because there's no shower. This is bad nostalgia.

  • AndyD_Ninja 🔰Andy Danbury (@AndyD_Ninja) reported

    @SkyUK #skyglass? Qs. 1. Who manufactures the TVs for Sky? 2. If you cancel sky, this then renders the TV useless? 3. No option to view any other service? eg freeview 4. No alternative if BBand dies? 5. No such thing as "live" TV as everything is delayed? Not enough info given on this.

  • lesley3110 #HelloMyNameIs Lesley (@lesley3110) reported

    @4Viewers Is this still a problem as I have no C4 catch-up on my Freeview?

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @TherealNihal @hayleycampbell @scottygb Coming soon to Teesside a 5V signal that allows you to actually watch TV via #Freeview, learnt a new phrase today I'm a "Notspot", an area where no signal with temporary measures in place until original mast sorted.....NEW YEAR? WHO KNOWS NOONE SEEMS TO GIVE A........

  • Carti_Mandua LadyAnniSpice... #IStandWithIsrael 🔯🕎✡️🇮🇱 (@Carti_Mandua) reported

    @vanessaazahar i never watch BBC or ITV and I dont have the patience to watch a film .... on Freeview tho I have been wading my way thru Lovejoy again !

  • DugMillward The Rodent (@DugMillward) reported

    @Channel4 & @channel5_tv with all the problems with your networks going down, no subtitles unavailable to the deaf, why not open a 2nd channel on Freeview with all the same programming at the same time (like the HD channels), but with a Signer and subtitles on screen at all times

  • Reuben04748504 Reuben (@Reuben04748504) reported

    @ThisisACTV Think loosing the number on channels like sky is doing with sky one does give more impact on streaming service. The numbers ok if Freeview and channel hopping but the future landscape is more streaming so build up change now try out new things before it's too late.
