  • 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)

    @roger44 @FreeviewTV Freeview needfi, their transmitters there hundreds in Swindon now like me have lost signal from 9pm and was enjoying film. Hey advertising people. Get a refund nobody can see your adverts

    @talkRADIO @calvinrobinson @PatrickChristys As I understand it, the argument is that because of poor broadband the BBC can’t move to a Netflix like service at this time. But it could be a subscription platform on Freeview - they already exist. It doesn’t need to be on broadband to be a subscription service.

    @DarcyLloydJoyce @guardiannews Was the best, they've been running it down, watch Sky Arts disappear from Freeview once BBC4 is out the way.

  • 2_Wheeled_Wolf @2_Wheeled_Wolf 🇪🇺 (@2_Wheeled_Wolf) reported

    @MamaMoose_Be I couldn't get the free trial last time I tried coz I am an ex Sky Digital customer. So they can do one! Get plenty to watch for free with Freeview & on apps with Amazon Firestick

    @ArghZombies We did that about 12 months ago and have not missed anything. We have freeview but have never used it. Ailey exist on Netflix, Prime and my Plex library. Plus we’re £100 a month better off.

  • gazpunch Gary Phillips 💙 (@gazpunch) reported

    Randomly just noticed a programme called Push up Brentford about Brentford FC on Together TV a Freeview çhannel I've never seen anything on it. Could be interesting, think it's about the move 🤔🤔

  • jdwigglesworth Daniel Wigglesworth (@jdwigglesworth) reported

    Freeview channel 53 crashed the smart tv. Google said unplug, and then said reflow the motherboard in oven 🔥. Managed to solve it by pressing lots of buttons all at once whilst holding down the power button onto AV menu🍺

  • rainbowshaz62 shaz62 (@rainbowshaz62) reported

    Freeview issues in Guildford and surrounding areas been happening more and more. Lost all channels but BBC and Itv and E4 the rest say no signal. Housebound fun times.

  • Bplwcml ♿ Mike (@Bplwcml) reported

    @bt_uk Well good news and bad, the good news is the guide is back on, the bad news I've only got my internet channels 340 onwards working, so I think it's a local Freeview issue with the terrestrial channels
