    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

    @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

    @bbcnews @freeview dont watch BBC News in morning as its just a copy of the breakfast chat show on BBC One. Now you take BBC News HD off freeview, so won't be watching it at all! Just like I never watch BBC local news. #bbcnews #freeview

    @Mark56623345 @a516digital This is was in the digital age as it was only 2 years ago. The Weymouth transmitter is poor, and 95% of residents there have Sky/Freesat, due to the poor Freeview.

    FreeSports will be removed from the Freeview service tomorrow. I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes Premier Sports 3 before September.

    @markelkin81 No problem. I'm glad you found the cause. Hopefully back to watching Freeview soon. Christine

    I-Player stream has basically frozen for Kendrick. My freeview reception is a bit crap. Audio fine, but screen not moving.

  • UB5simon Simon Bye 🐟🔶 (@UB5simon) reported from Southall, England

    All those **** channels on Freeview and it's BBC News HD that gets the chop 🤔

  • alffy1977 Anthony Hudson (@alffy1977) reported

    @virginmedia I want to reduce my package as I can't afford my current price but all offers are more expensive. New customers get 100mb and freeview for about £30, I was quoted £60 lol. I'll run my contract out and the next day become a new customer for a better deal. Stupid scenario

  • Jonno1711 Jonathan (@Jonno1711) reported

    @poshabroad @dcunited How’s the game? 3 - 0 down! Don’t look like scoring! (Watching it on some freeview channel)

  • A1an_M Alan (@A1an_M) reported

    @GBNEWS Don't watch Freeview any more. That would involve paying for a TV licence which would mean the BBC receiving money from me and that's not going to happen. It would also suggest I tacitly support the mainstream media which I don't; its news coverage is a tissue of lies.

    @4CAnalytics @The_Expert_Eye Oh yes remember that. We gave up on Lost when it went to Sky, as we only had Freeview back then & I heard the ending was poor. It had lost its way before then. I quite liked watching Manifest aside from her eyebrows, need to catch up on that, as it's now on Netflix
