    Why is the BBC World Service so hard to obtain EXCEPT in the one area which is explicitly not the target audience? In the UK the World Service is available 24/7 on DAB and I think Freeview and Freesat/Sky.

    .@Freeview question - how come the PSB muxes aren’t treated equally? The BBC one and the HD one seem to have a much better signal from Wenvoe than the “normal” ITV one. (I can get Mendip off a random bit of metal.)

    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)

    The 1970s : "Those were the Days" on Freeview : What really pisses me right off is most of the ******** spouting off total bullshite about the 1970s weren't even born so why don't they get a proper job and stop making themselves look like a superior *******.

    @rizzles066 @NotFarLeftAtAll Water and tv bills are the different things. This outdated laws about tv license are causing all those problems. Nowadays not many people still watch BBC or other freeview chanel. People browsing on the internet for news or watching YouTube…

    @BerisfordRon Its repeated on freeview. I saw an episode when I was young which still upsets me to this day. A young couples car breaks down they go to a house for help major twist at the end.

    @LeeVicarage @NewsMurray Yep from 2029 I think no more sky dish you can’t even order sky q now as a new customer it’s all gonna be sky stream , so if I can’t record anything anyway I’ll stick with Netflix and freeview

    @frmichaeltoomey @ITVX There were no issues with my Saorview/Freeview compibox.

    @MajQapla The Encore app is a catch up only service, and doesn't show live TV. I expect Abigail's Party will be added after broadcast. I watch TPTV via Virgin media channel 445, I know it is on Freeview (81?)

    Under 'Damn right' hanging on to my old now-illegal video senders in case the manure hits the rapidly spinning devices and they turn off Freeview. Generating DIY digital TV as an act of protest with QR codes so folks can still access things.

    @drewwagar A show I've never seen mostly due to not being signed up with any streaming services, I'm patient it'll come onto Freeview at some point like the others in time.
