  • 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

  • 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

  • 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)

    @FreeviewAdvice hey! i haven't been able to get freeview channels through my bt youview box for c. 3 months. i've followed all the steps on your website including all the tuning steps. please help! i'm E14 7DJ.

  • htwcentral Historical Television Website (@htwcentral) reported

    @whocolour @WhyNotts_ @Forces_TV Also from what I've read in the past, there's a future intention to further slim down Freeview to make way for more mobile frequency allocations and the subsequent switch to HD will mean only twelve or so channels in total. There won't be any +1 services so not as bad as it seems

  • I_Am_Artemis Artemis Aye. (@I_Am_Artemis) reported

    Aww man I've lost the freeview signal on the TV and I don't know why 😭

  • Bobby_Drake7 Bobby Drake (@Bobby_Drake7) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Thanks for the reply George, much appreciated. Guess im.gonna have to go direct and some questions then...! Admittedly I thought it was your owners whose name I forget. Sadly Freeview is becoming a continually more stifled service, it's a shame.

    Phoned freeview helpline. They did not recognise the web page talking of issues since 4pm yesterday. They also suggested not due to the weather in the West Midlands. So I am back to square one. I expect it will sort it self out.i give up at this point.

  • AndrewBowden Andrew Bowden (@AndrewBowden) reported

    @LornaGoodyear Paramount+ is a new streaming service so it's built into many TVs. But actually there are Freeview channels that need an internet connection so yes there are channels thatb can't be watched on normal TVs

  • itvhubhelp ITV Hub Help (@itvhubhelp) reported

    @devonfromdevon @itvhub Thank you for confirming this, with some Freeview devices to activate subtitles you'll need to switch them on so you'll need to enable subtitles via the TV's captions/accessibility settings. If you're having trouble with this, please DM us - with your TV's Model Number.

    @SkyArts this isle of wight coverage is shocking, it’s a good job sky arts is on freeview otherwise I’d be calling up to cancel. Actually I’d like to cancel.

  • CatONineTalez Cat O’ Nine Tales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@CatONineTalez) reported

    @CatwomanNation I’ll give it a whirl but I’ve never done one of these tier things before so I’ve a feeling it will be like watching your granny trying to work the Freeview box…

  • rsmck Ross McKillop  (@rsmck) reported

    Big mistake to remove @BBCNews HD from Freeview. Hotels, airline lounges, foyers etc where BBC has prevailed for years will switch to another news service rather than retrofit freesat or IP based solutions just to keep the same channel :(
