Since 2026-10-01 freeview.co.uk responds with 403 ("Freeview - Access Restricted" WAF page) to requests using axios' default User-Agent. The
api/tv-guidecall still works, but everyapi/program?pid=...call inloadProgramDetails()fails, the error is swallowed by.catch(console.log), and all programmes end up without a description.This sends a browser User-Agent on the details request, the same string other sites in the repo already use.
