    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)

    @darrengrimes_ Just a reminder. The License fee is a tax on watching live TV. You pay the tax is you watch most live tv on most platforms (sky, Virgin, Freeview etc.) The tax is used to help pay for the BBC tv, web, radio but it's nothing to do with specifically watching the BBC

    @JakTrident @cavaliers_rock @bbcdoctorwho to fully understand the Dr Who sound issues it would be useful to discover who was watching on what platform. E.g. iplayer, Freeview, iplayer HD, BBC though SKy etc - Can I ask what broadcast system were you listening to?

    @jwripple Ah, Ok: that sounds "better" John but maybe that's a relative term if the connection has come adrift! I hope you can get it fixed without too much of a problem. At least Sky Arts is free to view: one can access it via FreeView or FreeSat if you aren't already a subscriber.

    @wtb6chiny @rbripley The last time I saw it was a few months ago, on one of the more downmarket movie channels on freeview. They had the magnificent bad taste to cut to a commercial break *right* in the middle of the earthquake.

    @BritishTelecom - BT engineer due between 8-10 but no sign of him?? We have no access to BT Sport & quality of TV with the new freeview box is awful so we want a refund on our subscription.
