    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

  • tonester_trader Tony Evans 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@tonester_trader) reported

    @TheDoctor2058 Crap TV reception might be weather related today. My freeview isn't brilliant. Hopefully it'll be back for you soon.

    @27476b54549e462 WATCH GB NEWS FREEVIEW 236. YOU WILL NEVER WATCH ANY OTHER NEWS CHANNEL. COVERS EVERYTHING THE OTHER ESTABLISHMENT CONTROLLED NEWS CHANNELS IGNORE ,BUT ARE PRIORITIES FOR THE PUBLIC.

  • Sketchbroom Siân :P (@Sketchbroom) reported

    Ok help how are people actually watching from the freeview app? I can’t play anything 😭

  • WarGit Lord WarGit, a Tom Nook subsidiary (@WarGit) reported

    Public Service Announcement: In ten minutes time, the Paramount Network (UK freeview) is going to be showing "Exit Wounds", a 2001 Steven Seagal film that your instincts and remaining sanity would scream at you must surely be awful but which is, in fact, extremely good.

    @JulieSmith2001 Freeview problems all over..east Yorkshire had trouble 9 months now

  • fizzforbrexit fizzforbrexit (@fizzforbrexit) reported

    @NototyrannyNOW I just watch a bit of Freeview after 8.00pm but I usually have my nose in a book at the same time. But I didn't really watch TV much for years, preferring to read. I am convinced that the public have been brainwashed through TV for years, soaps, sports & god awful Reality TV.

  • Deborahj_Powell Deborah Powell (@Deborahj_Powell) reported

    @dougmcfarlane41 At least it takes your mind off Freeview I suppose. I might have to rethink my "that doesn't happen in the UK" approach to dealing with Spanish bureaucracy and customer service agents.

    @SarahLoudon1 @PacerCommander There is also a Freeview advice line on 03456 505050 if you continue to have problems.

  • Matth9999 Matthew (@Matth9999) reported

    @JuliaLopezMP I was going to gripe about the iniquity of Jury service, where those who hate the idea are press ganged into it on pain of a £1000 fine, but on seeing your position.... Freeview has an expiry date, the 2038 Linux bug - specifying as UNSIGNED format would solve
