  • 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

    @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

    @XSManchester Attempted to fix a Freeview aerial in the loft some years ago. Starting sneezing with all the dust, slipped off the joists and came crashing thru the spare bedroom ceiling. Straight out of a comedy film .... Carry On Belly. 🙄

  • cash4questions2 Mingymoo (@cash4questions2) reported

    @ukJ0N @snicklin1 @GBNEWS I read late June a while ago. The test signal is up....Channel 236 on Freeview.

  • ross_actual Ross (@ross_actual) reported

    Movie Pick of the Day (UK Freeview) Nightbreed (1990) Dir. Clive Barker Horror Channel - 22:55 I despised Nightbreed when it was released, but only because of how much of an utter **** Craig Sheffer was in Some Kind of Wonderful, three years previous. I hold grudges.

  • Ian_Coy1972 Ian72 (@Ian_Coy1972) reported

    @colinphoenix No problem Colin. Channel 96 on freeview I think. They show them in a morning around 10am 👍

  • Adjie16077 Claire Menzies (@Adjie16077) reported

    Next year I’m going to refuse to pay my TV licence until the government do something about our TV & the BBC as a corporation not as channels because they’re just as bad. I am fed up with watching the same program is repeated on different channels through Freeview & no subtitles

  • Kathlee53178282 Kathleen (@Kathlee53178282) reported

    @WiniBoansi Have you tried watching it in Freeview, that's if you have Freeview? I sometimes get the same problems now & again. "Good luck"

  • lilastromech mischajaye (@lilastromech) reported

    Are any of my friends/mutuals in Liverpool having problems with Freeview? All of my TV aerial channels have been missing since this morning 😕

  • _designblogger designblogger (@_designblogger) reported

    @virginmedia The works are conducted, but they never resolve issues. We still use FreeView, 5 days after the storm. The wifi speed is low, and pages keep crushing on laptop and phones.

  • Nixed81 Nicholas O (@Nixed81) reported

    Freeview reception seems down again right now. The picture is all heavily pixelated. I've tried it using 2 different aerial cables and 3 different televisions. I just forked out on a new 4k tv last month. Not happpy!

  • marshallmaps Roversgotmeagain (@marshallmaps) reported

    @911Amelia @anetevt @SkyNewsBreak Why would anyone watch Sky News? I can get their "News" channel on Freeview but have hidden the channel to keep my blood pressure down.
