  • 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

  • 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)

    @DougRobersonAJC Hi Doug I’m trying to find a channel to watch the Atlanta soccer game tonight. Are there any freeview channels I could try . Can you help please . Tony

  • aliduggers Ali Dugdale (@aliduggers) reported

    @NationalTheatre @Mrs_UW @hillww1 It’s terrestrial if you have Freeview, which I don’t, or you can watch if you have Now, which I don’t, or Sky, which I don’t... I do have National Theatre On Demand, to support the National while it’s shut, but it’s not available there. Such a shame not to be able to watch it.

    @Katet282 So sorry you've had trouble watching! You could try it on the Freeview Play app, to watch one of the repeats on Sky Arts, Easter Monday at 9.30pm or Thursday 8th April at 10pm.

    @FreeviewAdvice Could you tell me if there is anyone I can contact to log a problem with Freeview reception?

  • gemariewilliams Gemma Williams (@gemariewilliams) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice just plugged in our new freeview box, only 40 odd channels appearing out of the expected 139 for our area - can you help?

  • Browning_Ellie Ellie Browning (@Browning_Ellie) reported

    Please help. How do I watch Sky Arts without a Sky subscription?Apparently on Freeview? What is it all about.

  • McMclaughlin16 Kieran McLaughlin (@McMclaughlin16) reported

    Have unfortunately just perused Freeview TV. Never have I ever imagined such shite would be presented to any. Someone please save us !

  • DaveyBoi73 Dave ♿️ Esq (@DaveyBoi73) reported

    @MarkBlackmore33 @StuartYoung001 @RealPaulMartin I only have the virgin media version of freeview so it's not worth me asking for the new box. If I could find a great stable streaming service for free then I would get rid of the VM TV.

  • cgzucchelli Claudio Zucchelli (@cgzucchelli) reported

    @LGUKCare the Freeview program guide is taking up to a minute to load the program schedule on my C9. This should be almost instant. Please help.
