  • 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)

    @jlf0404 👋I'm not around #CourtTV's tweets anymore, Jen. I'm not on the channel. Period. Not after their owners' awful treatment of British viewers. From 1st June they took themselves off #Freeview. It put me off them, and off the whole US court thing. It just wasn't the same for me😕

  • CMACYT oh no (@CMACYT) reported

    @JimityBlack @matharu_gaurav @kieraneverson Well true but whatever freeview package i saw it on didn’t have an hd version of gb news available and it looked horrible

  • Rexymorgano Rexy (@Rexymorgano) reported

    @jimwaterson Dont forget shutting down. Their sky and freeview slots are worth money. I give it until end of August.

  • Ind3pendent7 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 scozzese ribelle 🇮🇹 (@Ind3pendent7) reported

    My freeview telly is set to the mystery channel. There was an episode of unsolved mysteries a bit like our crimestoppers it was about the murder in 1992 of Larry Dickens age 26. Matthew McConaughey was the actor in the recreation scene, that’s a wtf 😳 moment haha

    Hi @news_ntd Not sure what has happened to your streaming server but it now stalls so often to be unwatchable, and your feed to Channelbox (Freeview 271) is of ridiculously low resolution the picture looks so blurry.

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @russty_russ Hugely disappointing as they on concentrated on Teletext Holidays, a digital service on Freeview at the time.

  • B260Eb EB B260 (@B260Eb) reported

    @AnnSkelly3 Don't go for Virgin, it's awful. The woman I work for was with sky and paying a fortune. One of the other staff recommended virgin, think it was because she got £50 for recommending it. All freeview channels are now gone. So called Free virgin channels are terrible

  • thomasforth Tom Forth (@thomasforth) reported

    Really happy about joining "team @duncanrobinson" on so-called freeview. aka TV, without the internet. Cuts down latency to approx. 1 second versus "live". Available, amazingly for such an antique technology in "H.D." too. But, why is there no Newsmax? How am I to inform myself?

    @JK_Makers @Kurumi_eSpirit @SinonBetter Digital Switchover. The Final Stage of Digital switchover is about to get underway All remaining analog TV services will shortly close down permanently. Some Freeview Services will be off-air overnight, and may need to re-tune your TV or set-top *** tomorrow
