  • 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

  • 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

  • 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)

  • MichaelLeeLewi4 Michael Lee Lewis (@MichaelLeeLewi4) reported from Aberdare, Wales

    @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

    Why does someone walking around upstairs affect my #Freeview signal?

  • andyjay77 Andy Jay (@andyjay77) reported

    @owlsfan83 @jamesdanw Yep I get that Ben, can she can get some help from someone to set up Freeview access, so can stay in touch via red button ?

  • ukaudiophile Dave Allcock (@ukaudiophile) reported

    @landofthe80s @80sThen80sNow @80s_Kidz A note for #Airwolf fans out there, Paramount Network, UK Freeview ch.32 are showing 'Airwolf' again between 1.10am & 4.50am every night.

  • ShazzaGreen Sharon Green (@ShazzaGreen) reported

    @itvhub why does the app not work on freeview on JVC ... terrible sound distortion just before and during ad break!!! So frustrating!!!!!!!

  • Luke1972 Luke (@Luke1972) reported

    @DylanGristwood Never really had any problems with them but this box is frustrating. I’d happily go freeview and use apps but family didn’t want that.

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @cj_freeway if it’s Freeview give their free helpline a call 0808 100 0288they will help you get us back!

  • mwnciod Mwncïod (@mwnciod) reported

    @windust @TobyonTV It's like when the continuity announcers on Horror introduce a show by reading the programme summary blurb word-for-word as its written on your Freeview screen programme info but mispronounce all the characters names because they've never watched the show.

  • PremierSteve Steve (@PremierSteve) reported

    Mother in law called at like 7am. I assumed medical emergency. She started by heavy breathing and not talking cos she didn’t realise I’d answered! Anyway, Freeview has updated and she’s got a new channel. **** my ******* actual life! ...then the dog puked in the hall. Kill me!

    @WeAllTalkLeeds Best - beating Scum 1-0 2010, Worst - losing 1-0 at Sutton and going down to 10 men (was it cooper that got sent off?), had to watch the latter with crappy picture quality on Freeview channel 59 (BT Showcase) as I didn’t have BT Sport on Sky at the time
