  • 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

  • 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

  • S0UNDK1LLAH66 Darren *Calling out da BS* Richardson (@S0UNDK1LLAH66) reported from Great Yarmouth, England

    @_i0n Where you live got reception probs then mate? Like hills blocking a signal? Where I live is a bit of a nightmare. Cos the high channels on Freeview I can't get cos 5G wipes them out.

    @SkyNews Skynews the worst channel on freeview #SkyNews #brokelockdownrules

  • lookoutwales2 Gareth Joy (@lookoutwales2) reported

    @StevenSaul @carollowe98 Apparently, Manchester TV (run by the former Made group) has disappeared off Freeview. Wouldn't be surprised if it's closed outright - it's a wonder to think the city could support two small local licences after what happened with Channel M.

  • JohnMcCullough6 John McCullough (@JohnMcCullough6) reported

    @AlexKane221b Anything is better than those awful Christmas films on Freeview.

  • delphi35 jane💙 (@delphi35) reported

    In other news, tracked down channels 1 to 10 on the freeview box last night. It does, unfortunately require structural support for the aerial, but ya know, #skillz

  • willcooling Will Cooling (@willcooling) reported

    Stuck in a hotel with only freeview. Jesus Christ the questions as on Newsnight are insultingly stupid. Just pure horse race stuff rather than looking at the philosophical or practical arguments
