  • 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

    @SpeedStar_76 @BBCNews 'You can cancel your licence if you no longer: watch or record TV on any channel via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat) watch live on streaming services (e.g. ITVX, All 4, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Now, Sky Go) use BBC iPlayer*.'

    @AntnHz We lost my husband's nan to pancreatic cancer and while she never played DND, she was the tech savvy nan, always on the internet, always recording stuff on her Freeview box, with her MP3 player, mobile...cut from the same cloth as yours I'd say. I hope they meet xx

    @Scrippsy48 It's on freeview 716 on the TV if that's any help

  • odubhda odubhda (@odubhda) reported

    @Al_Hine I don't think that it's on the basic Saorview (Freeview) package, I think you just get the RTE and Virgin Media Channels... and Oireachtas TV! So you will be in trouble if it's BBC you need. But that's always been the case as far as I know since the switchover. No C4 either.

    @MinettaLane freeview chanell 82 talking pictures show his films regularly trouble in store was on last week

    @SyphinB @WrestlingHumble I think they're overestimating based on the viewing numbers vs the WWE The thing is, AEW is on Freeview TV. WWE is currently on the #2 Ranked Sports Subscription service in the UK. Even the network doesn't let you watch WWE live unless you have that Sub That effects the ratings

    @ignorami @LeeAndersonMP_ @lucyfrazermp UTTER CRAP!!! If you watch ITV you have to pay it. If you watch Chanel 4, 5, or any of the other 100's of freeview channels, you have to pay it. If you watch Sky you have to pay it. Educate yourself.

    @RadioNightTrain @benbakerbooks Working OK on an actual 'Wireless' 📻 & Freeview 716 on TV. Don't know if GHR do a catch-up thing, but for a live quiz that probably wouldn't be much help anyway, would it. @RealKenBruce

    @TalkTV High people at Talktv Are you aware that you've been taken down on Amazon Prime, Amazon Fire Stick, internet, and YouTube. Don't know who you've upset, but the only TalkTV channel that's currently working is 522 on SKY, and Freeview. You need to sort this out guys.
