  • 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

    @Scotsterahoy @STVNews Stv don't have the money to cover Annan v Kelty never mind 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 games. That is the bottom line. Scotland games on terrestrial tv outside a major game in the later stages of a tournament are over. Not a cheerleader for Sky but they did put the vital Serbia Euro tie on freeview.

    @KayBurley @OliverDowden Don’t know about cancelling Christmas but certainly be cancelling sky. only problem is sky News is on Freeview can’t get away from this ****. #switchoffskynews

    * These two sites are affected as they currently broadcast all the main Freeview channels on the frequencies that Bilsdale will be using. To avoid interference, they need to come off air during tests. **That 80 metre temporary mast will be in service for quite some time.

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi, my TV is only recording some scheduled programmes in Freeview. It seems to affect all channels? Samsung advised to speak to you… can you help?

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    There have been multiple reports of issues with the Freeview multiplex carrying ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 in standard definition. Different areas have been affected in different ways, but some services have been garbled/distorted,

  • Stuarsenal75 Rusty Gallante (@Stuarsenal75) reported

    @itv Freeview channels not working in RG21?

  • joeylk71 Joanne Gray (@joeylk71) reported

    @LauGoesToLondon Does it help improve your Freeview signal? I'm due my third dose sometime this month (hopefully)

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    (Since 25th September, Channel 4's Freeview services have been running at lower bitrates on all other transmitters in the country, following the Red Bee Media incident.)

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    On 25th September, C4 had to abandon its usual regionalised distribution following the Red Bee Media incident. Since then, on Freeview, services have been running on lower bitrates. On satellite, fixed bitrates have been used. Both contributing to picture issues.

    @FreeviewAU @FinancialReview There's an issue with this service that, if you change the channel and there is no program information, the banner remains on screen forever. Only way to remove is to hit green button to open Freeview guide, then hit back, then exit. Sony Bravia X95G.
