    @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

    @SkyNews Can I connect my BluRay player to it, and is there a Freeview tuner in case the internet goes down?

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

    /2 uniquely in the UK, the East Mids transmitter at Waltham is being fed with the (broken) online streams. This first occured last week. All other Freeview transmitters have different source feeds that are not affected.

    @MoneySavingExp Can't get a good freeview signal so got Freesat. Very happy with it. Seriously underrated

  • _Hometech_ Hometech Solutions (@_Hometech_) reported

    @Nur_Jahan786 @SkyUK From what I tell it’s just a Samsung TV which means you could still plug a set top box into one of the HDMIs or use Freeview just like any other tv. I guess this just has the new Sky streaming service built in.

    @DrRhys @grim_fandango @russty_russ I don't think I ever saw the Teletext Ltd MHEG5 service as starting it hard crashed our freeview box.

    @TalkingPicsTV Freeview. I have retuned it all but it'll stay poor until the leaves drop or the weather settles.
