  • 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

  • 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

    @tamago2474 Freeview folks be like... Wtf are they talking about

  • AoOldaker Adam Oldaker (@AoOldaker) reported

    @Andy_Gez_ Trying to but I have to go online to get it. I shouldn't read too much into it I'm sure it's just a coincidence Freeview in my area can't get it. But at a time it needs to improve hearing the rumours of Andrew Neil leaving is the worst news. Also I think I prefer talk radio tv.

  • AmyTeamLH Amy-Stream Eternal Love! (@AmyTeamLH) reported

    Of course the high pressure around the UK currently would be playing up with our TV signal. Honestly 😑 #Freeview

  • BendyCuteness Abby Addison (@BendyCuteness) reported

    I’m sure any one who dose free view can relate with how annoying people are in freeview “BRB let me top up” Never returns “ twirl for me “ just wants to jerk for free “ where you from?” I just want meet me not interested in camming

  • stephen_j_moran Stephen Moran (@stephen_j_moran) reported

    Virgin Media broadband is brilliant, phone line and mobile sims good, but their TV offering is poor. Alas, they package them all together. Their basic TV offering is no better than Freeview. The rest are exorbitant Sky packages etc. Apps dead slow through TiVo. Firestick v fast.

  • fifasalty 💙Chris💙salt💙 (@fifasalty) reported

    @RealMickFoley i think one problem is the lack of hardcore matches and an hardcore championship. when you look back all the matches i remember they are covered in blood and death defying stunts. not sure why this is not happening now but again creative writing then aew shown on freeview in uk

    @getback39 All the updates we have are available on the Freeview website. I'm not aware of any issues that would happen in winter due to it being a temporary transmitter. Anne

    @KarenStopHate @WasOnceLoved This is 2021 not 1979. For benefits you need a mobile phone and an online account. They don’t go to the job centre to sign on anymore. All TVs today are flat screens and as analogue signal has been switched off you need at least Freeview. This a classic case of a false analogy
