    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

    @grandwaz000 @BBCNews They are slowly killing off broadcast tv you are correct just look at the 10 freeview tv channels that are due to be shut down to make way for 5G.

  • D_Hollingsworth Dan Hollingsworth (@D_Hollingsworth) reported from Rickmansworth, England

    When did BBC4 HD. Leave Freeview? What a load of ****, missed a chunk of #TOTP and joining it late with Michael ruddy Jackson.

    @artbookreviews I was aked to set up a freeview box for a friend. Never seen so many wires, gadgets, remotes. Ended up in a loft (no floor!) making friends with an aerial. I think they have 6 TV's but I lost count...

  • UridiumAuthor Andrew Braybrook (@UridiumAuthor) reported

    @moresunshine_1 I already have to do all my Mum's PC and tablet updates, along with all her Freeview re-tuning that goes on. We just had a big channel shuffle/loss as some more bandwidth is given to the 5G mobile network. I like that they can fix bugs, but new features should be optional.

    can’t believe the state of morning tv at the moment. staying at my dads so we only have freeview channels, we ended up watching something called “dress to impress” which is a dating show where you have to decide who to date based on outfits they chose for you. ******** is this?!

  • HybridProphecy Jack° 🎗 (@HybridProphecy) reported

    @anee1a Probably 50% of the foreign films I've seen I saw for the first time on Film4, a Freeview channel lol As long as you're able to read subtitles easily, it shouldn't be a problem. I'm certainly not "cultured", I've just never been put off by subtitles.

  • GC_Wood Gary C Wood (@GC_Wood) reported

    First the removal of BBC Radio access via voice control on Sonos speakers; now the removal of @BBCNews HD from Freeview. @BBC not doing much to help it's cause with the licence fee debate.

  • Agile_Sean Seán Massey (@Agile_Sean) reported

    How can @BBCNews HD be taken off of Freeview? What a terrible retrograde step

  • LukeN100 LukeN (@LukeN100) reported

    @WolfieSmiffed @BBCNews You can't cancel broadcasters on Freeview. You can just watch another service instead

  • ArtNita1 ArtNita (@ArtNita1) reported

    @tvukzone I really don't want to see thus turn into another Freeview channel when 10 have just been shut down 😕
