  • 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

  • Gargarin BLTP (@Gargarin) reported

    The show biz news in place of actual news on Freeview channels is a nonsense, can't believe regulators really think it meets anyone's public service quota

  • Golf_5_TM Tim H (G5TM) (@Golf_5_TM) reported

    BTW re: my earlier poll re: TVI.. please share I’d like votes and responses on this. It seems like it’s all bands causing issue but ONLY on satellite and DAB!?? Not freeview. I’m sure both satellite and DAB are linked to their rf distributor in the attic.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    *in some areas only. The national version of That's TV, with the same schedule except the local news at 6 and its early morning repeat is down on Freeview 91, again in some areas (but not necessarily the same areas) only.

    Benny Hill's back on UK #Freeview I'm not offended by him, and it's nothing to do with being 'woke', but just don't find him funny. It's bad enough having his alter-ego Boris Johnson squatting at Westminster. He also performs long, boring & unfunny comedy skits, just like Hill.

    @hotukdeals I have one of their Freeview boxes. It is the buggiest piece of **** I have ever encountered. #Oakcastle

  • thesampattison sam (@thesampattison) reported

    So fed up with the bad signal on freeview again. Been going on for a while now. Can hardly watch anything. #freeview

  • Bill_Hogarth William Hogarth (@Bill_Hogarth) reported

    @gbnews Why is the frame rate on your Freeview transmission so slow? I've also noticed the sound and vision are often out of sync. Are you transmitting at a reduced bitrate?

  • peter_melvyn Peter Melvyn714 (@peter_melvyn) reported

    The Freeview TV Guide ; who are the pig ignorant uneducated slobs who write this garbage, too many spelling mistakes, too many grammatical errors and incredibly inaccurate facts, for example, 25,000 miles of trenches in WW1, there were less than 1,000 in fact, plus lots more

  • jatolion Lion is carefully out of his den again. (@jatolion) reported

    Its Freeview, not Poxtel so shouldnt have a problem as long as he can see the satellite from the den. Going to see if he can turn it into a mobile installation by mounting the dish on a Speaker tripod.

  • MattyMcManus95 Matthew McManus (@MattyMcManus95) reported

    @bt_uk getting little to no signal on many channels on bt tv I’m currently on my 2nd tv box. It’s not my Aerial as I’m getting freeview on my tv just fine when I plug it in. Any solution?? My 1st box began to do this 3 months in and I was told the box was faulty now same issue
