  • 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)

    @purpledVodka I hate branded clothing. It’s been a thing I’ve hated ever since I got a spongebob t-shirt for my 8th birthday for no reason, we could never even which spongebob on freeview

  • LumpyPete Lumpy Pete (@LumpyPete) reported

    @BBCThree One word. Shallow. Pandering to 'yoof' never works. To think 3 used to have great science and factual shows. Now look. And cramming it back on has messed up my freeview big time, so thanks for that BBC, never seem to get it right these days. #bbc3

  • VikShah Vik (yeah, that one) 💙 (@VikShah) reported

    @timglanfield Very much depends on the price of the service and whether there's anything else on the channel to justify it. If it was included with Prime or Netflix then yes, but maybe not if it's on something naff like BritBox. I'd rather it went to a Freeview channel such as E4.

    @StainlessSRat @HobdellTerry @utv You’ve misunderstood me. They’re still on my Sky box. They’ve disappeared from the Saorview/Freeview boxes. The issue is I can’t record them on Sky, but I have a hard drive on the Saorview ones.

    @LBC @darrenadam Most of the youngsters I know have given up Freeview channels but kept Netflix. That way they save money and never have to watch Allsopp. Win win

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    I'd be surprised if a new weekly TV magazine launched. Although I guess it's possible, maybe one just providing listings for Freeview? Of course, not only would this depend on gaining readers, pricing would also be an issue.

  • JayThomasWAFC Jonathan (@JayThomasWAFC) reported

    @BazakeMedia @TreborRhurbarb He was watching the game on Freeview and not a subscription service. These people are leeches on society so need to be dissolved in salt.

    @FreeviewTV Hi George, can't find DM (direct email) on freeview website help & support. For my postcode said that there is works in area. Returned now but smart TV is still no and freeview box is OK.

  • MsGoodi MsGoodi (@MsGoodi) reported

    @BBC #BBClicense I don't mind paying the license fee but I would like to be able to get the channels on #Freeview what is going on with the signal?

    @GMB @GCGodfrey I have 2 pieces of good advice, cancel expensive Sky subscriptions and Mobil contracts, change to Freeview and pay as you go.
