  • 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

    @GBNEWS Low sound and out of sync, dark (but better than yesterday), lowest resolution of any of the Freeview channels makes the viewing experience hard to enjoy.

  • Ella1898 Ella Newton (@Ella1898) reported

    @jaycee1001 @SusanEacock Seems to have gone down well, sorry I missed it. What freeview channel is it on?

  • mumofboys72 nick (@mumofboys72) reported

  • czerkawska Czerkawska 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 (@czerkawska) reported

    @BBC Been trying to report Freeview reception fault for last hour. YOUR FORM DOESN'T WORK. Severe problems ONLY with BBC. Trawl through form, submit, and keep getting 'something went wrong resubmit' message. Complaints site directs me to the same useless site. Can you help?

  • mjsmith75 Mathew J Smith (@mjsmith75) reported

    @GBNEWS any chance you can sort the sound quality out on Freeview please. It is awful and can hardly hear what is being said even with the volume on high. Others have complained to. Please sort it out or people will just turn off. #sortthesoundout

  • DavidDoveton DavidHolroyd-Doveton (@DavidDoveton) reported

    @GBNEWS If only I can hear the program properly on Freeview. The sound is awful. Cannot hear on the highest volume. Get you sound engineer to sort it out or get a new sound engineer.

  • man_dobro DobroMan (@man_dobro) reported

    @GBNEWS I can no longer watch, the picture and sound level is awful on Freeview 236. The set is too dark. I want to support you but can't at this point in time.

  • wisteriawitch Lynne (@wisteriawitch) reported

    @JOEPUBLIC20171 @GBNEWS @afneil I'd be happy just to have some proper sound so I can hear it. Apparently those watching it via Freeview are having the same problem.

  • banihwah Hugh P (@banihwah) reported

    @gbnews Just a heads up, on Freeview your sound output is really low. If I hop between channels you are perhaps 25% down on the others.

  • JohnLewis2468 John Lewis (@JohnLewis2468) reported

    @GBNEWS the lip sync on #Freeview 216 is terrible!
