  • 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

  • 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

    wtf is this “new news channel” everyone is harping on about? am i missing something here bc i can’t find any new news channel on the freeview

  • ditasplaything Drew I want to go swimming Jarman-Norris (@ditasplaything) reported

    Anyone else having trouble with #FreeView channels this evening?

  • MrMichaelAyy Michaelteach💙 (@MrMichaelAyy) reported

    @generational55 @BoardroomBoy @macnahgalla Just out of interest. If Islamic state started a news channel on Freeview, would you support it? Hypothetical question… I know, but an interesting thought experiment.

  • STh177 SimonThomas (@STh177) reported

    @GBNEWS Liking the new style, thought you should know sound still poor watching on ch 236 freeview the ads and voice in studio are lower than other channels non studio guest levels are even lower a whisper .Also ticker tape still says Simon McCoy show? Vision still grainy

  • den_jw Den Of Scholes 💜🤍💚 (@den_jw) reported

    @eddie19666 McCoy asking people to grow up and stop sending in rude names is going to be the highlight of the channel when it inevitably goes off Freeview and becomes PPV on YouTube

  • spiritodelarue Serpicoserpico (@spiritodelarue) reported

    @nickmorristt @GBNEWS There problem with sonic when attempted to watch on freeview

  • Imron215 Imron2 (@Imron215) reported

    Is anyone having trouble getting GB News? I understand it's on Freeview Channel 236 but it doesn't come up. Have I got a woke TV set or am I just being a bit dim?🤔

  • man_dobro DobroMan (@man_dobro) reported

    @CaptainKramer @SkyHelpTeam @GBNEWS Freeview 236? Crap picture quality but still eminently better than the other news outlets.

  • wordspinster Debbie Cameron (@wordspinster) reported

    @DrClaireH Discovering that this is available on Freeview has vindicated my policy of only ever retuning when I suddenly lose a channel I actually watch--every time I do retune I get mesmerised by a bunch of new and terrible additions

  • jubbsxx Aka Queenie (@jubbsxx) reported

    @java2107 It's freeview terrible picture.
