  • 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

    @orbette Even the slightest wind caused issues with our digital freeview signal (which living on coast made it permanently unwatchable). Most of yer live tv should still be watchable on iPlayer, ITVHub, All4 etc. though.

    @AndyDJey @AntAnstead I had recorded it on Quest,Freeview channel 12, or QuestHD on Freeview channel 114 in the U.K.. But I think it’s also on Motortrend on demand service.

  • effcee1969 Fiorenzo Cecere 🇮🇹 (@effcee1969) reported

    Can anyone help, please? I'm tempted to switch to BT TV which includes Freeview (with all terrestrial channels). Before I place an order, I'd need to check whether these terrestrial channels (and any other channels) provide subtitles via BT TV. Thanks! #BT #subtitles

  • MikeARPowell The Black Jack (@MikeARPowell) reported

    @premierinn @ukJ0N If the TV signal is Freeview off a terrestrial aerial then this channel may be on Multiplex that can't be received by the current aerial installation. It is broadcast on the same COM 6 Multiplex as RT News (channel 234).

    @isaacjs29 Bet you wish he’d saved your ears instead, I bet you get freeview on them bad boys

  • DallasStarsUK UK Dallas Stars Fanatics (@DallasStarsUK) reported

    @soph_letitia It’s on FreeSports not Premier, you can watch it online or on FreeView if you can get it on your TV down there

  • timrb Tim 💉💉💉 (@timrb) reported

    @whatuptkhere The "freeview" apps now all require a sign in to watch the free to air streams. It's not enough to just sit through ads any more, they have to capture your personal data too.

    @kennyboz67 I only have a Firestick, there's no Freeview TV signal here alas. I'll investigate though, ta.

  • AuntieSyzygy Auntie 🫐 (@AuntieSyzygy) reported
