    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)

  • KAK_Tweets Krys Cross! Cha Cha Real Smooth (@KAK_Tweets) reported from Treorchy, Wales

    @flickeringflxme I’ve never seen that one myself but somehow my granddad ended up buying it for himself which was made weirder by the fact he only had freeview so didn’t even have Disney Channel. He loved it though

  • dave_maydew Dave Maydew MW0DCM (@dave_maydew) reported from Tonyrefail, Wales

    @FreeviewAdvice @arqiva More disappointed, but I suppose I've got to accept it, after totally cutting the cord. I do have a tech question though. I'm using the Plex Media Server for Freeview, but the supplied EPG by Gracenote is terrible, is there a XML file of the one you use on the Android app

    @kieranjameen Kieran cancel it, my sister did with hers and hasn't missed it, you can buy internet freeview boxes now and you can download all the apps onto them, no monthly payments then, just for what you choose to, much cheaper

    @CardozoAth @SteelDalek1 But they have a 24 hour dedicated news channel broadcasting on Freeview. Freesat. Sky's platform and the internet so people could watch that. But to be sure you can't escape they close down their other TV networks or relay the same output across them all.

    @cs192 There isn’t a way *not* to get Freeview. Since 2002. But never let the facts, etc.

  • LiamJones396 Liam Jones (@LiamJones396) reported

    On my holiday freeview experience, watching Taskmaster. UK TV isn’t doomed, good ****

  • wirvine56 William Irvine (@wirvine56) reported

    @janicecelticsmp @micheloola 1 of the apps ive got, you can download freeview channels. the catch is you have to log/sign in, thats b/c bbc is included. you cannot get all these freeview channels only b/c of the bbc. you should have a option to delete the bbc from the list.

  • DecAppear Dylan Canning (@DecAppear) reported

    @rtenews Plenty of alternative channels on the UK freeview service, for anyone who's not interested.

  • jamespdrury James Drury (@jamespdrury) reported

    @hmd_db @TraceyRBurns @michaeljswalker Can you not read? Having no internet is not a barrier to choice, nothing poor about it... No, I don’t mind, it’s their editorial choice and if I didn’t want to watch I could watch something else (I did, on Freeview, not streamed) have a fine evening, not watching the BBC ;)

  • OmieAKA Omie (@OmieAKA) reported

    @Darrenjs68 @BBCNews Yes. Its almost like all those hundreds of other channels on yr Sky box or Freeview service don't exist.

  • russeaside1053 russell (@russeaside1053) reported

    @FreeviewTV still problems Hu19 area east Yorkshire no bbc channels on Freeview..says weak signal on tv but only on bbc channels??

  • spazhammer ⓦⒶⓃⓨⓔ the cotton headed ninnymuggins (@spazhammer) reported

    ... plus I get to watch the home highlights/finest TV available (plus some garbage/filler I still enjoy!) Instead of watching what's available on virgin/sky/Freeview, I get to choose whatever when I want. I don't get why others haven't. Other than technical skills/knowledge

  • ChrisJA15486090 Chris - Cymry & European! #FBPPR (@ChrisJA15486090) reported

    @SteelDalek1 And then close down BBC4 to stop you watching that instead! Have they forgotten most people have Freeview, Sky or Virgin to find other programmes on???
