  • 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)

  • GeorgeBaldwin14 George Baldwin (@GeorgeBaldwin14) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    And has been mentioned before, I and I'm sure many others would never have followed rugby without the Six Nations being free to watch and having it on freeview year after year

  • 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

  • MeurigRogers Morgan Barber-Rogers #FBPE melt and centrist dad (@MeurigRogers) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bethanjenkins Project Kangaroo became YouView. It wasn’t shut down because it was a ppv model - it was meant to be like an online Freeview. It was shut down because it was deemed unfair competition for private companies. Who are now all Americans.

    @GBNEWS need to get rid of black background, not only because it’s dreary as ****, but it encodes terribly on the low bitrate stream they’ve got on freeview. Also, there’s no contrast when everybody is wearing dark clothes.

  • chrislondon254 chris (@chrislondon254) reported

    @GBNEWS A few sound / voice sync issues watching on freeview.

  • DT100 Craig Williams (@DT100) reported

    GB News is like one of those local channel 7 Freeview stations. Awful sound, cameras out of focus, and pretty sure one of the cameras is in 25p rather than 50i. I was involved in the launch of a TV channel, and we nailed it from day one. And as for the content…! #gbnews

  • Bound4Hollywood Humvat Virit (@Bound4Hollywood) reported

    @GBNEWS I just tried 515 on Sky and it's an HD channel, which means I, as a satellite dish customer, have to pay extra for. Tried retuning the freeview channels and there was no 216. Conspiracy theory anyone?

  • at67435 Iron Thompson (@at67435) reported

    @GBNEWS Good start but you need to fix a couple of issues, most notably the image is too dark and the sound is too quiet. On freeview anyway.

  • climpy1980 Donna Trump (@climpy1980) reported

    @JohnHopkins_ @StopFundingHate So they still took it if that's the case. Are we going to cancel sky, virgin and Freeview companies for giving them a channel for their platform.

  • eufactsexplain Centre Right Democrat (@eufactsexplain) reported

    @GBNEWS @afneil Not available on Freeview in South Glos: “No signal or signal too weak” message given

  • MrSameer_ $ameer (@MrSameer_) reported

    Worst picture quality for new channel @GBNEWS on #Freeview it’s 2021 not 1942! #GBNews

  • ReecePorter06 Reece 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇧🇧 (@ReecePorter06) reported

    i hope they never make it so sky or bt etc purchase European tournaments and don’t make them freeview cuz it’s so good how the whole country is on it

  • jonthemusic Jon (@jonthemusic) reported

    @telday1 @Jayduck16803727 @GBNEWS I don't pay Sky a penny but previous occupant left box. It is not a subscription channel and I am watching it there now. It is only SD on Freeview and a few issues with the signal strength there.
