  • 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

  • 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

  • PATVOne1 P.A.T.V. Scunthorpe (@PATVOne1) reported

    @JillStuart17 While it is currently under investigation by Ofcom to decide whether it has broken the impartiality rule, RT still holds a valid licence to broadcast, so cannot be removed by Freeview (or Sky), otherwise they'd be the ones breaking Ofcom's code.

    @CalumLonie @SendRaces @writebikerepeat yes issue in 2021 was not only was it now on eurosport (rather than freeview channel l'equipe) but also they put alot of it online/app only so even with channel it often wasn't on

  • GrumpyKav Kav (@GrumpyKav) reported

    And does this apply to Freeview Play TVs also when not being connected to an internet feed. Many thanks, have an issue with a TV to try and resolve

  • I_VG Dr Isabelle Vella Gregory (@I_VG) reported

    @KabwePRQ Oh good thanks for this. Have had trouble getting AJ on freeview today dunno why. Dodgy aerial I think. BBC had a brief mention. Nothing from sky.

  • Musicals_Minion Minion Stu OBE 🇬🇧 🏳️‍🌈 (@Musicals_Minion) reported

    @Mike_Fabricant You don't need to pass legislation, just need service providers to not allow them to use their platform. It's not available on virgin media, so why don't sky and Freeview also kick them off? @skytv @FreeviewTV #BackBoris #StandingWithUkraine

  • back_the_BBC Back the BBC 📺📻📡📱 (@back_the_BBC) reported

    @Jake_Kanter I look forward to @afneil explaining how that would work technically for all the tens of millions of homes that get all their TV through Freesat and Freeview. Spoiler - there is no solution that doesn't cost billions and a decade to implement

    @yacc143 I m referring to the 99.4% mentioned in late 1980s IBA Engineering announcements, and the 98.5% mentioned for Freeview. I do not know the *actual* level of Freeview coverage. It is hard for me to get a signal from my proper transmitter, Wenvoe. I can get Mendip off a knife.

  • mcglubber mcglubber (@mcglubber) reported

    I can finally give my 31 days notice to **** sky off altogether. Since October, I've paid £15 a month for Freeview from my Q box. £15 a month for FREEview. I've currently been waiting over half an hour in the "loyalty queue", I will ******* win.

  • GEORDIEJOHN1982 NUFC1892 (@GEORDIEJOHN1982) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice it is an extremely rare board that I have and these freeview and catch-up apps were already on the board for people to test the apps and develop them for that tv. But the good news is that it is not a problem with freeview play itself. I will let you know what happens today.

    @SoniaPoulton Try RT, you can tell it tells the truth cos Starmer was trying to get it shut down, it's on freeview 234
