    .@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.)

    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.

    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)

    @Stop_The_Panic @Icky_84 Hi, The best way to find out is it may have the Freeview logo on the back of the TV. Otherwise, you can google your make and model number of the TV or contact the manufacturer for further support. Thanks, Dev.

    @Lauraleanne1982 @Ezzer_man @WilliamMcGinn11 **** that, it's ok for say Football or movies but not great for live TV. I'd dump our Sky and just buy a freeview or Freesat recordable box but the wife likes it. We literally only watch stuff on freeview these days.

    @BermondseySE16 @AlStewartOBE @GBNEWS Try removing your aerial from your TV, returned without the aerial, then put aerial back in and retune again. See if that works. If not, go on freeview website for extra help.

    @RobLinaker Hi Rob, That would be lovely. However, the Freeview mobile app is only available on mobile devices and Freeview Play is only available on Freeview Play TVs and boxes. I'll certainly pass on your interest in the service being added to the Amazon Cube. Thanks C
