Freeview Not Shown As Option For DVR

General Discussions Plex Features

Hi,

Freeview does not show as an option for me when setting up DVR. According to other posts in the forum Plex does support Freeview as a data source. I’ve tried many combinations of post code - full, 3 characters, etc. however nothing works.

Anyone manage to get this to work?

Are there Plex devs reading who can add my post code?

@nickytones “Freeview” is used as a name for free to air television in many countries, including the UK, New Zealand, and Australia. What country are you referring to?

I’m in the UK.

Hi @nickytones select ‘YouView’. This is what UK users have been doing to get ‘Freeview’ listings.

I’ve been using Youview however that listing isn’t 100% accurate when mapping to freeview channels.

Ideally this needs to be fixed so that freeview datasource can be used.

I think this is being looked into, but best to log any guide issues in the form that’s pinned in the DVR forum (https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/281569/reporting-gracenote-epg-data-issues#latest)
