  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

  Why is the BBC World Service so hard to obtain EXCEPT in the one area which is explicitly not the target audience? In the UK the World Service is available 24/7 on DAB and I think Freeview and Freesat/Sky.

  .@Freeview question - how come the PSB muxes aren’t treated equally? The BBC one and the HD one seem to have a much better signal from Wenvoe than the “normal” ITV one. (I can get Mendip off a random bit of metal.)

  @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

  @MetroUK Close down loads of channels that isn't important and keep the ones going why have we got loads of pointless channels on freeview Freesat Virgin and sky

  @TheMekon_Venus at one point Bread was being shown on an endless loop on the "Thats entertainment" freeview channel, alongside "man about the house" and "Steptoe & Son". I never found bread to be funny or entertaining in any way, and other than the phrase "lilo lil", it is not memorable.

  @HughEdw31897368 A problem for many older people like us whose only programme source is freeview. No internet subscription, mobile network only.

  Freeview is so **** ATM, I'm actually watching Jamie's 15 minute meals ... !

  @itvfootball TV constantly stuttering. Is it my Freeview TV or the signal? I may have to fire up the laptop.

  COMMENT: It needs an internet subscription, also an aerial for some progs, if your internet is slow you lose all progs, the manufacturers claim it's the internet problem so you cannot return the TV. It's a complete con for the companies to save supplying Freeview. 🤔🤔🤔

  @kenton1206 I did the same with Virgin Mafia. It was going up to £90 for little more than Freeview and ok broadband. Swapped to a Cityfibre service (small firm based in Worthing even though I live in Peterborough) and bought a Netgem Plieo. Less than half the cost, should’ve done it sooner.

  @KarenGr58411658 @DailyMail All paid for with the licence fee, the government does not fund TV transmission infrastructure, this is controlled and operated by the BBC. No BBC, No transmission network, no Freeview. This is why you have to pay the licence for all live TV.

  @TheGriftReport There are millions of pensioners and older folks who do not have broadband, do not want broadband, would never manage with a new television / apps, and rely on their Freeview television service to stay connected to the outside world Switching off Freeview would effectively be an isolation/ death sentence for many of these people

  @EmmerdaleInside There is no excuse not to put football or any other sport on ITV 3 or 4 as everyone who watches TV will have digital TV ( Freeview) as the analog signal got turned off years ago and them channels are free to all ( as long as they pay the TV Tax)
