    @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

  • 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

    @TalkingPicsTV Hello TP. Sadly, your channel has disappeared from my TV listings. Rang Freeview who weren’t able to help as I should receive it; any suggestions please?

  • VanessaRiley61 💧Vanessa Riley (@VanessaRiley61) reported

    @EFAY1EIGHT Freeview crap.

  • d4nnytye danny (@d4nnytye) reported

    its not one size fits all but i grew up with only terrestrial/freeview and most the shows had strong moral messaging (even if it was subdued) about how to treat others, respecting differences etc, whereas USian stuff was a lot more based around consumption and celeb culture

  • scratchscrotum Kirk Fell (@scratchscrotum) reported

    Freeview box taken back to terrestial tv and up appears BBC's, Here We Go. Wtf is that all about?

  • eddsirr Edd Sirr (@eddsirr) reported

    @MediaBoyUK @bustNmove Considering it has no advertising; was messed about on the EPG, on a low Freeview channel, and is a 6+ hr show, that's not bad tbh!

  • LBCbackOnDAB LBCbackOnDAB (@LBCbackOnDAB) reported

    @rockgod1970 @GBNEWS Yes same on freeview all evening. Out of synch issues often seems to happen. Surprised how few people seem to raise the issue on here.

  • birch_js Jamie Birch (@birch_js) reported

    @yagiznizipli I’d say look for what features it says it supports. In the UK, I’d be looking for: - Freeview Play certification, for hybrid broadcast + broadband - DIAL support, for casting YouTube videos from phone - Some good (possibly native) branded apps included - Responsive UI - No ads

  • KanailadRm Ray (@KanailadRm) reported from Harlow District, England

    @currys your harlow store is staffed by complete ********* waited over 40 minutes after someone said i i would get help as I needed a tv with built in freeview, they had no ******* clue after 40 minutes I went to @Argos_Online and got one

  • secondontheleft Ross (@secondontheleft) reported

    @TVmusicNews Away for the weekend and I'm here, remote control.. no music channels. How are people gonna promote stuff on Freeview! Hotel viewers need tunes! So we had radio 2 on, wasn't so bad.

  • fussyMcWhiskers McWhiskers (@fussyMcWhiskers) reported

    @TavernHoyden I have freeview now But when I had Virgin - one of their old boxes I had had an ariel jackplug in it so whenever Virgin TV went down it would automatically switch to the freeview aerial - back then Virgin rarely went down though
