  • 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

  • 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)

    @graeme_from_IT @Ofcom Looks like events have overtaken themselves. With the EU banning the channel thus cutting off the Astra satellite uplink, it's down for Sky & Freesat viewers (and YouTube has blocked the channel for EU & UK viewers), and that disconnection appears to have also affected Freeview.

  • JacobHunt3r Jakob Hunter (@JacobHunt3r) reported

    @PrisonPlanet In other news, RTs satellite link is in Europe & once cut can't be transmitted anywhere in Europe. *However* Freeview's signal does not come from there and we cut that all by ourselves ( probably something to do with sovereignty )

  • maxy_durand **** (@maxy_durand) reported

    @Otto_English It was still broadcasting for a while on Freeview, then taken down. I don't suppose many remainers have heard Freeview though

  • autisticlyaar Aar Jae Wills They/Them 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦💛 (@autisticlyaar) reported

    @max_stenner I like streaming but I find its so so messy right now as its moving from public service broadcasting and isnt replicating well of what universially accessible Freesat and Freeview offerings offer. It’s more competitive but if you only one service in the UK cant compete with

  • daryl_millar Daryl Millar (@daryl_millar) reported

    @CameronYardeJnr @toniearlybird This sounds like there won't be a joint streaming service from the main Freeview broadcasters.

  • MarvelBeasty Marvelbeast (@MarvelBeasty) reported

    @Richard66629722 @florencerounda2 You can cancel the sky TV service if you want and it becomes a Freeview TV. Or you could plug in another cable service if you want. Just won’t have the same voice controls. But the voice control annoys me anyway as it is so buggy.

  • hypnodan Dan Jones (@hypnodan) reported

    @helenmccusker @neighbours Had the same problem, watched it all the time on BBC, then it went to channel 5 and I couldn't get C5 so had years of missing it and then have never watched C5 since having Freeview & don't buy TV guides anymore so have no idea what is on normal TV & never watch live TV anymore

  • DJMidarezaki DJ Midarezaki, Esq. 🇬🇧🇺🇦🇨🇦🇭🇰🇹🇼 (@DJMidarezaki) reported

    @frankotron @HouseofCommons @NadineDorries That may or may not have affected the Freeview stream, which was also taken down.

    @Rob_Pullinger @GBNEWS Damn good idea @GBNEWS, can you now HD on Freeview?

  • PartickDriver Inde-Car Gordon Ross (@PartickDriver) reported

    @yotanka77 It's free and will be available to you once it starts up. Freeview is a free range of channels including the mainstream channels. You can open an account with the service without a fee I believe (don't quote me on that)
