  • 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

    @VABVOX Some apps that may help, Plex, Popcorn Flix, Freeview, crackle and Zumo. Amazon prime has a price lowering government option I think still.

    @PullarStrecker yeah, that's an interesting development. The market for watching NZ's so-called terrestrial TV channels seems a bit uncertain right now with the Freeview on demand service set to end, and Sky might be one of the better options.

    @GBNEWS Why is the reception on Freeview 236 rubbish in Rochdale, but I can get all other channels with no problem??

  • LMurphyy Lewis Murphy (@LMurphyy) reported

    @bt_uk Just ordered, as previously had a failed install due to weak aerial signal. Are the freeview channels now over internet available to be recorded? Thanks

  • SenecaOre Seneca (@SenecaOre) reported

    @GBNEWS Unfortunately freeview signal is unusable. 😕

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @Mucky1 Most Freeview connected TVs & set top boxes can receive the service.

  • rutty_uk Dave Rutt (@rutty_uk) reported

    @LeadTestInclude We canned Virgin to go with Freeview plus Now Entertainment package. Still fairly cheap I guess. Just about enough programming that isn’t covered elsewhere. The NowTV box we have is rubbish. Awful interface (but it works - no channel numbers for freeview channels)

  • DrMikePerry Mike Perry (@DrMikePerry) reported

    EarthxTV a new TV station on Freeview starts this 7pm this evening with a programme is about faith leaders calling on global leaders and communities to take action on climate change. Seems to be a from Us & focussing on environmental and justice issues, no idea on pedigree…

  • themikei mikey (@themikei) reported

    @CyclingScience1 @JHesterdrums @lavuelta If you're watching on Freeview then there's nothing that can be done, the spectrum available for the service has been reduced and some channels removed, that's down to decisions made by the British government.
