    @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)

    @Susiebags It's been a rant of mine for a long time, it's just awful. England playing almost any type of match, live on Freeview TV, Scotland playing almost any match, no chance it'll be on Freeview TV.

    @sharepointalex Hi Alex, I believe there is no free service of channels if you cancel your subscription with Virgin. In order to receive Freeview you will need an aerial connected to the TV. Thank you, Melissa

    @TVNZ @ThreeNewZealand are you guys aware of the issue with Freeview in Southland? Pixilation and sound drop out. All Channels all of the time. I have tried to report to Freeview, but after 4 emails and no response back after a week, thought I would see if you have any clout.

    @BrawBandHome @CityFibre Come on how much longer for fixing the Glasgow / Renfrewshire outage. Can’t get online at all other than my limited mobile data. No freeview so need Internet to work from home or watch TV 😡🤬

    @txurini @AntoKerr @CahairOKane1 I’m in Fermanagh and get it on RTE on Freeview, no problem.

    @malfouru48 Every Freeview TV has a CAM interface on the rear; in simple terms, a card slot, to facilitate access to encrypted services. The BBC could encrypt the signal tomorrow and all most people would need to do is insert a card into their TV. The BBC and Gov continue to lie about this.

    @GitGrumpygit Simple, CANCEL IT & use Freeview. Any organisation that shafts me that I can do without, gets cancelled and/or switched.

    @TalkTalk Hi could you tell me if freeview is down in the BB7 area thanks

    @HisenseAus I have tried calling your Customer service...no answer, tried the callback, no calls. I have a simple question, why is Freeview no longer working on my 49P4? It was working when we bought it, then it disappeared, came back a few months later and now gone again.
