  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • ElDonoSuspendo Donald (@ElDonoSuspendo) reported

    @BearryPolaris Yeah my new TV is some sort of gaming monitor. Has a way better picture and the Freeview to watch TV on it with but no smart ****. I wasn't interested I'd rather have a Firestick and I've a mini pc hooked up to my TV too.

  • idontwantologin #NoWar #Нетвойны (@idontwantologin) reported

    @ZODIDOG You can delete channels on most if not all TVs and Freeview receivers. Trim it down to a dozen suitable channels, still plenty variety.

  • donaloflynn Dónal O'Flynn (@donaloflynn) reported

    @ApeGugas @Choyaa13 Was that really a thing back in the day? Never occurred to me before. Of course, nowadays all of the channels are in the same Freeview multiplex from the same mast.

  • mcglubber mcglubber (@mcglubber) reported

    I can finally give my 31 days notice to **** sky off altogether. Since October, I've paid £15 a month for Freeview from my Q box. £15 a month for FREEview. I've currently been waiting over half an hour in the "loyalty queue", I will ******* win.

    So poor? I khan only dream freeview 😳

  • jimanthony62 Jamesiiboy (@jimanthony62) reported

    @DundeeSat My freeview digital tv through an aerial is not working....😬

  • dhothersall Duncan Hothersall🌹 (@dhothersall) reported

    @hrochfor1 "Freeview Channel 264" is VisionTV, not a Freeview channel at all but an IPTV distribution service. IPTV is accessible anywhere in the world and is not subject to broadcast licences. I already said RT could continue on the web if it lost its licence. Please stop pretending.

  • MCY1X Michael of Sussex 🇬🇧🇮🇪🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈😷💙 (@MCY1X) reported

    Sitting in be watching #TV for the last half hour and all of a sudden the picture and sound start failing! One of the neighbours must be walking about. It’s getting so bad I’ll have to change channel! #Freeview

  • SkOscillator Oscillator Sk (@SkOscillator) reported

    @SoniaPoulton Try RT, you can tell it tells the truth cos Starmer was trying to get it shut down, it's on freeview 234

  • Originsingamer zinorigins (@Originsingamer) reported

    @Mrpaulfox @Potatoe_Waffles @Machobeard4life Digital TV only allows the 5 main channels everything else is freeview, most of us rely on WiFi to view American products, because not all of us have a freeview box because we don't wanna pay TV licence of the thieving BBC, which has literally the worst programming on it
