  • 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

  • ShoyebJeeva Shoyeb Jeeva (@ShoyebJeeva) reported

    @snoddy114 @Freeview I'm having the same issue with the HD channels on Freeview on my TV. I called them also and they said that there is engineering work. Can't watch BBC one and two HD keeps losing signal and it's Wimbledon 😭.

    @Ste15375723Mark @MartinSLewis @GMB FWIW I think most likely outcome is the licence fee will be kept as the least worst option. Advertising is non-starter as it would destroy ITV/C4/C5's revenue. Subscription isn't possible for Freeview/radio. Bundling in with tax would be spun badly for the gov.

  • FalaCatsco Catherine (@FalaCatsco) reported

    @AgentP22 According to STV it's shows like Coronation Street etc, Albas figures are an impressive 530,000 adult viewers a week when it became available on Freeview and Virgin media, how odd. Their average viewing time is an hour and 40 mins? Never watched Alba, lot of Sports apparently.

    kids these days will never experience not having sky and channel hopping on freeview and finding the most random but interesting ****

  • Dr_Jon John Michael Leslie (@Dr_Jon) reported

    Last Night I watched The Simpsons Movie, which I've never seen before but had recorded on my (newer of 2!) Freeview PVR in Jan 2013 (as I worked out from the Ads). Those Ads were actually the most interesting part - apparently the iPhone 5 has a whizzy new Do-Not-Disturb feature!

  • HelenParkins Helen Parkins (@HelenParkins) reported

    @sallythomsett Hahaha ! Cutting it a bit fine- typical ! Hope he has resolved the problem. There's a brill new drama about the Mitford sisters on right now, on freeview 20- it's called "Outrageous." xxx

    It’s everywhere you look, certain groups are pissy because they have to share with the rest of the world, and are no longer pandered to and catered to exclusively. That’s why you have this hate-fuelled pushback. The Red Button and Freeview are RIGHT THERE, but it’s never enough…
