  • 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

  • MichaelLeeLewi4 Michael Lee Lewis (@MichaelLeeLewi4) reported from Aberdare, Wales

    @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)

  • 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

    @1974craig17 @UKTV @BBCBargainHunt Hi Craig, unfortunately some Freeview Play devices are still impacted by an issue we're experiencing around playback. We are really sorry for the inconvenience caused and are working on fixing this ASAP

  • ghiblifan1 Hawklord71 (@ghiblifan1) reported

    @FryFive @All4 It's now literally the only Freeview catch-up service missing. This reflects badly on both LG and Channel 4 now, as ITV Hub, BBC iPlayer and My 5 seemed to have cut a deal, and popped up in the various updates since I purchased the TV.

  • UKTVPlayHelp UKTV Play Help (@UKTVPlayHelp) reported

    Unfortunately some Freeview Play devices are still impacted by an issue we're experiencing around playback. Apologies again for disrupting your viewing experience, we are working on fixing this ASAP We will update here as soon as we have an update. Thanks for your patience

    @ImmuneNaturally @LozzaFox @TalkTV Yup its **** on freeview atm

  • PaulCarmichaelV Paul Carmichael (@PaulCarmichaelV) reported

    @AndyCla05536869 @vimfuego1234 @PrisonPlanet programming (all offset by big profitable productions). Then we add maintaining the infrastructure of Freeview and FreeSat (how the poor and elderly traditionally access television). Oh & writing the scripts. And directing the shows. And editing them. Yeah, sure you could. (2/2)

    @snigskitchen These pitches are gold tbh, the main problem is that they're trying to become PM instead of finding a home on a midsize Freeview channel
