    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)

    @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

    Isn't normal TV/Freeview awful? 30+ channels of total crap, every night. What do people watch?

    @Vanhalen20081 @russty_russ If you think it's bad on Freeview, it's probably worse on Sky and Virgin. When I look at the list of channels on my EPG, I can't help but think that some only exist for the sake of ad revenue.

    Help. Can a sky satellite dish be used as an aerial for a freeview box?

    @newhandlehun @CahairOKane1 Many of us can’t access it on our TVs (I don’t have Sky and my Freeview doesn’t pick up RTÉ) and not every VPN service allows us to get around the GAA’s geoblocking.

    @nickyk56 Hi Nicky, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview Reception. So, we can investigate this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

    @Page_888 @russty_russ Interesting. For the period of time between the collapse of ITV Digital and the launch of Freeview, I suppose it made sense for there to be DTT boxes manufactured. I didn't realise that Top-Up TV had anything to do with Freeview, as I thought it was a separate platform/service.

    @MAGNETIC_DOGZ Basically you needed a paid service with certain companies to even get Nickelodeon, CN, ect on the TV. I grew up on the freeview channels, pop, cbbc, citv, all that.
