  • 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

  • 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

  • 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)

    @ElRaynerista There is a saying "there is no such thing as bad publicity" Many, will have never heard of GB news (Sky 115, Freeview 236), before the negative publicity but I guarantee a high amount who didn't know may have looked for it, which is great news for a fledgling channel.

    @shoba_31 Not down, watching GB News on freeview 236.

  • squeezyjohn John Spiers (@squeezyjohn) reported

    @chrisbates3 @ITVSport I’m not watching it on the internet. I’m watching it on Freeview! The picture keeps on freezing with audio glitches. It’s a problem with their feed from the ground.

  • paulfoulkesyork pʰɔːɫ faʊks (@paulfoulkesyork) reported

    @RacingFlamingo @i_horseracing oooooh. It's not HD on Freeview but that might be me... thanks, will see if I can fix that.

    @GBNEWS @afneil Such a shame you’re all the way down the freeview channels on no.236 while the BBC are still squatting on the defunct BBC3 freeview channel no.7… Maybe after the teething troubles are sorted this is something to aspire to? Kindest regards

    My ITV has gone funny - briefly - twice. Anyone else?! Thank heavens I have STV and Freeview, if it’s an ITV or Sky problem! #ENGSCO #ITVFootball
