    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)

    @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

  • 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

    @TrilbeeReviews Statistic for you courtesy of Creative Diversity Network highlighted by freeview in a FB post today.. 4.7% of all lead roles are given to black actors. Black people represent 3.5% pf the UK population if I recall.. So over represented perhaps?

  • 10agapanthus Pamela Murray (@10agapanthus) reported

    @DrSpock_PhD Not for me. I shall be watching "Warship: life at sea" on the Paramount Network on Freeview.

  • MarkBoreham3 Mark Boreham (@MarkBoreham3) reported

    @MerielMyers The atrocious freeview signal from BBC has boiled my piss this week.

  • Suzanne100 Suzanne (@Suzanne100) reported

    @JulieCourtTV @CourtTVUK The channel 89 in the UK that was showing court tv is now saying This service has now closed..and I read today that court tv will no longer be showing on Freeview tv in the UK, can anyone confirm this as I’m so sad and lost without it 😪

  • Kimmylea4 Lady Kimmylea (@Kimmylea4) reported

    @Peter_Fitz Now I only know them as freeview/on demand apps, because my antenna broke 3 years ago and I never bothered to fix it.

  • herkinderkin John Johnston (@herkinderkin) reported

    @radionz Why can't I find RNZ National in the Freeview Guide? We record and listen to your programmes on satellite Freeview as radio reception here is terrible. HELP!

  • tashatam14 tashatam (@tashatam14) reported

    @UBn9ohogz0XOFWP @GBNEWS To watch I need a TV license, a freeview signal or Sky subscription, and an HD TV. I don't have any of those. Oh, and even if I had Sky I would have to pay extra for GB News

  • clairywoowoo Clair Woodward (@clairywoowoo) reported

    @Mrs_Bentos @thebellow I once gave away a Freeview box on the local Facebook page. A woman asked if I could meet her at 2pm on Tuesday outside the Co-Op in West Norwood. I declined, as I'm not a delivery service.

  • egaaronp Elizabeth Macpherson (@egaaronp) reported

    @CourtTV ..the UK channel 89 on Freeview says 'This Service has now spider's - why? It was working on Monday & I've watched everyday since it was available 😥

    @martiansurvivor Hi, Freeview TV requires an active aerial connection to receive our service, unfortunately, this is the only way to get the TV channels via Freeview. You may be able to find something online for a different provider. Thanks, Dev.
