  • 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

    @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

  • vickysharp1 Vicky Sharp (@vickysharp1) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice cheers Freeview. Totally ruined the ending of Pearl Harbour tonight with your weak signal. Sort it out!!

  • hopeless_punter Dan Chivers (@hopeless_punter) reported

    @wgf1976 @GBNEWS It's not news though. Call it Farage TV and stick it on YouTube for those that want it. No problem with that. Broadcasting as a "news" channel, in the news section of the EPG, using precious Freeview capacity? *That* I don't believe in, no. No right thinking person would.

  • Feather_Dancer Feather_Dancer (@Feather_Dancer) reported

    @Noehaddock You can tell how the "Spot Conrad in the background" is going :p Not watched many episodes this week, they had Amazing Spiderman (Terrible) and Venom (******* fantastic) on freeview so kinda watched those instead lol

  • CaleMakarSZN Cale Makar Stan (@CaleMakarSZN) reported

    @TheAHL Ahl tv is not working. It is asking for a subscription to view the game but it is part of the freeview. Please help ASAP

  • ChamarelDesigns Chamarel Designs (@ChamarelDesigns) reported

    @greatmoviesuk I’ve been watching GreatMovies Christmas since it launched for this year and it’s just disappeared mid-movie this evening. It returned but with a split screen. Unplugged tv & still had the issue so I auto retuned & now channels 51 AND 49 don’t exist on my freeview!

  • Carti_Mandua LadyAnniSpice... #IStandWithIsrael 🔯🕎✡️🇮🇱 (@Carti_Mandua) reported

    @vanessaazahar i never watch BBC or ITV and I dont have the patience to watch a film .... on Freeview tho I have been wading my way thru Lovejoy again !

  • ddemOn888 Dad Attitude (@ddemOn888) reported

    @Ftumch3 Yeah. I only watch it if I stay in a hotel and the WiFi/phone reception is terrible and I'm reliant on Freeview TV.

  • PriorMargaret Dr Margaret Prior (@PriorMargaret) reported

    @callaghansstuff @SimmsMelanie My mother never had any issues with remotes, DVD players, freeview boxes or mobiles. Just saying.

  • MsJinnifer JinnynotJenny (@MsJinnifer) reported

    @maryfordneal You don't need a box for Netflix. Freeview connection (via aerial) normally comes set up in the TV. Some TVs do Freesat instead, and they get the signal from a dish. You don't need to subscribe to anything to get Freesat or Freeview. 'Catchup' of main channels free via apps on TV
