    @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)

  • 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

    @Andy_hhh @Serendipity_03_ @VNotmeat Actually RT was not shut down by the UK. It has been affected by a ban imposed by the European Union. Although the UK is no longer in the EU, the bloc applied sanctions to satellite companies in Luxembourg and France, which provided the RT feed to Sky, Freesat and Freeview.

    @InJDWeStan Don't have anything. Except 6mths free disney+as changed my o2 contract & lowered cost. Only ever get prime when they email for free or 99p a week offer. With not working for past year and half, got be careful. Got freeview otherwise

  • lee_alley Lee Alley (@lee_alley) reported

    I see RT's down on Freeview in the UK.

  • rogerablackwell Roger Blackwell (@rogerablackwell) reported

    'In fact, Dorries said, ‘In the meantime, those investigations have been taken over by events and I was very glad to see yesterday that the channel is now officially off air on British televisions after it was shut down on Sky, Freeview and Freesat.’ '

    @FreeviewTV is freeview broken in Cheshire ??

  • MarvelBeasty Marvelbeast (@MarvelBeasty) reported

    @Richard66629722 @florencerounda2 You can cancel the sky TV service if you want and it becomes a Freeview TV. Or you could plug in another cable service if you want. Just won’t have the same voice controls. But the voice control annoys me anyway as it is so buggy.

  • pandorasrockbox Miryam Pan D'ora Rae ~ PandorasRockBox (@pandorasrockbox) reported

    @FreeviewTV freeview completely down? Not working? Why?

  • Tringonometry (Not) Posh Dave (@Tringonometry) reported

    Mega Shark vs. Kolossus is on Freeview channel 69 right now. Don't say you weren't warned. However bad you're imagining this movie is, you're way short. Way short.

  • ShaneRosser20 Shane Rosser (@ShaneRosser20) reported

    I never watch the mainstream media news channels on virgin media or Freeview TV besides there are other channels that people can watch and I'm watching now 90s music channel on virgin media TV right now.

  • daryl_millar Daryl Millar (@daryl_millar) reported

    @CameronYardeJnr @toniearlybird This sounds like there won't be a joint streaming service from the main Freeview broadcasters.
