  • 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

  • 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

  • MichaelLeeLewi4 Michael Lee Lewis (@MichaelLeeLewi4) reported from Aberdare, Wales

    @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

    High tide and lost all my freeview channels. I probably need to get a fixed aerial at some point. First World problems.

  • barrelsuggs Ben G (@barrelsuggs) reported

    Love having no internet for the entire bank holiday weekend. No tv no video games not even freeview. No one can come fix till Tuesday. I’m already bored

    @Centuries_Sound @scottygb I always wonder why on earth the BBC doesn't use one or more of the Freeview channels to broadcast programs from its archive. There are hundreds of wonderful old shows that never get seen. Wasted opportunity 🙁

  • donk0802 Mick Robinson (@donk0802) reported

    @antonyrayworth @virginmedia I pay £135 and had the same mate I waited on the phone 50min to cancel it and they don’t give a **** they said drop the sports, HD AND 3 of the MULTIROOMs and you only have to pay £89. So that’s internet and Freeview???

  • Gers89_ Greegsy's Gloves (@Gers89_) reported

    @tattoo_stew69 Their box is like one of those freeview boxes from about 10-15 years ago. No apps on it or anything. Poor selection of channels, reception was terrible and kept cutting out. They were bastards about trying to move back to Sky (even though they have a 14 day cooling off period)

  • cotswold31415 Sir Fiftysomething Gardener 💛💙🇺🇦 (@cotswold31415) reported

    @HumaxUK Why are @BBCiPlayer programmes not loading and playing on Freeview?? Been down for a few days now…

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @robishungry How do you watch us Rob, as we are not experiencing any problems with broadcast - Freeview etc?

  • Andrew_Willcox Andy (@Andrew_Willcox) reported

    @Richardt1850 @VodkaSrups We realised we watched one channel that wasn’t on freeview…we now pay for every streaming service there is and don’t even get close to the same price.

  • RarityFusion LaqdBack2 (retired acc) (@RarityFusion) reported

    more like imdabitch, because imdbtv was a streaming service and now its freevee. what, is this a freeview ripoff?

  • hygienistdirect ShaunyF1Mcl🧡 (@hygienistdirect) reported

    @buckstack4 I just do freeview, prime and NOW I cancel NOW during the closed season. F1 is the only sport I watch and at £25 pm it is an affordable way to watch the racing (very nearly) live
