  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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

    @BJElsey_ @GBNEWS I've never seen so much hype and so little information. Information about when is it actually going to start and apart from Freeview, WHERE ELSE? I'm losing any enthusiasm I had.

  • ChrisDod1 solarSteve (@ChrisDod1) reported

    There's a new TV news station on the block starting soon on Freeview etc. GB News. To show your support for a healthy alternative to the usual BBC/ITN/Ch4/Sky News channel, search "New British... " on Facebook

  • V8Hotstox550 Simon Hughes (@V8Hotstox550) reported

    @Sotlive @BBCRadioStoke Is it not easier to listen through Freeview, given that most households now have at least one if not multiple Freeview enabled TV'S? Problem with MW, and has been for some time, is that the only way to get MW is in the car. So in many ways it makes sense. MW radios now obsolete.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital I'm mystified why they send someone round when I've already established reception is not possible. I watch local TV on sky or freesat no problem!which is for the Thames valley, on freeview its if I'm lucky other wise very weak Anglia or west from swindon.

  • marshallmaps Roversgotmeagain (@marshallmaps) reported

    @deGourlay I know that, I’ve hidden it on my Freeview box. I had paid Sky for years but their BLM support was the last straw. I am no longer paying any money to Sky so have defunded them.

  • William35473987 William Gould (@William35473987) reported

    @LGUK @Kevin89890344 This is really poor service from LG. Some effort should be made to upgrade 2020 TVs to Freeview Play. Everyone who has purchased a 2020 TV has paid the same amount as someone who bought an LG TV in any other year.

  • RichardSandlan3 Richard Sandland 💙 (@RichardSandlan3) reported

    @RailwaymenThe I have Freesat rather than Freeview which means even this service is unavailable.

  • AvanceBusiness Avance Business Technology (@AvanceBusiness) reported

    @charliepick @ABCaustralia 1) So the ABC doesn't pay you a wage? 2) Yep great, so make it opt in. Forcing it on us is my issue. If I miss the news being broadcast on Freeview without the need to sign in why the hell should I need to sign in to watch it through an app 3) no data is safe

  • SBabbcock Simon Babbcock (@SBabbcock) reported

    @ThatAlexWoman Are you still having fun (with permission always I promise!) with my surname?? In return any news on when we can expect the much anticipated and needed @GBNEWS?? You tease us on having a freeview channel!! Is @SimonMcCoyTV really that bad and 20th century on IT??

  • cheltenhamlady anne selley (@cheltenhamlady) reported

    @Forces_TV have retuned my freeview TVs several times it never picks up Forces TV!!
