  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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

  • briavelsjon Jon Pitts (@briavelsjon) reported

    @softwarescotty Fair enough, but your underlying issue is Freeview reception in that case!

  • IMTobybrown Toby Brown (@IMTobybrown) reported

    @lbc the bbc Is a good thing if it needs a new funding model it should be general taxation like every other public service. Subscription won't work because of freeview and also the radio networks can't go on subscription either

  • RobDeNormandie Rob (@RobDeNormandie) reported

    @MsResJudicata @PlainVa86760081 @getyourgoals16 Projectors are brilliant, under the coffee table with the freeview box or whatever source you use, run an audio lead to your HI fi and project on to any plain painted wall. The one issue is the leads across the carpet, the upside is a huge screen, and when it's off its invisible.

    @bbceurovision getting really fed up with sound issues on #Freeview - every time Graham Norton comes in the volume drops out! Grrrr! #Eurovision2021

  • terencegarner terence garner (@terencegarner) reported

    @GBNEWS @afneil I can't get Freeview only Sky and I've never heard of YouView.

  • QueerWrestling Davey🏳️‍🌈 (@QueerWrestling) reported

    @manizhkin @Iightuptheroom They dropped the junior eurovision like a bad habit after 3 years. Channel 4, I could see being a good alternatively. Even Sky, to an extent. Who have the option of putting it one of their freeview channels to get around the restriction of non sky subscribers.

    GB News look and sound, which has just gone live on Freeview and YouView channels 236. If you can’t see it there, you may need to retune your TV. This guide will help.

  • TonyJWells TJ is not hiking (@TonyJWells) reported

    @smolrobots Fires up the Roku. So probably 60 seconds behind the freeview signal.

  • tran_d87 David Tran (@tran_d87) reported

    @bt_uk So what do I do now? just wait until Freeview fixes the outage?

  • liarpoliticians Liarpoliticians, UK has rogue Parliament+police (@liarpoliticians) reported

    @GBNEWS Still not in (awful) SD or HD on satellite, but is on Freeview (in awful SD). Don't be like @SkyNews as the only news outlet not in FTA HD. #GBNews
