  • 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

  • willis_talks Wayne Willis 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🌏🌳🎹🎙️🚶‍♂️💡🐾 (@willis_talks) reported from City of Kingston upon Hull, England

    I'm again having endless issues with #BBC #freeview channels not working in #Hull. I watch via @NOWTV box but I think it's a regional antenna issue. Is anyone else in Hull / Humber having trouble with receiving BBC channels?

  • Anarkii_ Anarkii (@Anarkii_) reported

    Hey @SamsungTV @SamsungSupport - with the new firmware 1903 for the QN800A, sometimes pressing right on the remote on broadcast tv, nothing happens, when it is meant to show the Freeview guide. Turning tv off and on again is the only way to fix it. Please fix for next update :)

    @res_to_ra_tion @meghansupporter Have you quite finished? No we had never heard of MM before she came into H's life. I live in the UK and Suits was on a USA Channel then on a little watched freeview channel here in the UK. So no we had NOT heard of her. What are receipts anyway? I haven't bought anything.

    @SimonAnthonySt2 @NewsUK Hi Simon. There is no news as to when this service will be added to Freeview. It may be best to contact NewsUK for this information. Scott.
