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

@bethanjenkins Project Kangaroo became YouView. It wasn’t shut down because it was a ppv model - it was meant to be like an online Freeview. It was shut down because it was deemed unfair competition for private companies. Who are now all Americans.

And has been mentioned before, I and I'm sure many others would never have followed rugby without the Six Nations being free to watch and having it on freeview year after year

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.)

@bt_uk Hi Aaron, I am in complete disbelief as to how long this takes to resolve. I don’t care who resolves it & not my problem he’s not in. I’m paying full price for freeview! I demand compensation and a quick resolve as this is just embarrassing for @bt_uk

Thankfully I have access to the Sky Sports Action and Mix channels but this sucks for people who want to watch it on Freeview. Oh well.

@bbcpointswest Why no reports on Freeview transition problems in the region. We would like to know about massive outages in last 24 hours

UK baseball fans let's face it @btsport clearly paid for a number of years' rights and are just seeing it out. They'll lose it like they did the NBA because they've blown all their money on Champions League and now the stupid WWE. Time to get a freeview box and MLBTV #OpeningDay

@FreeviewTV @JimIrvineUK It's late I shall protest to my mp and find out if there is a regulater. In meantime I shall collect newspaper emails and inform them how unreliable and what a terrible service you offer. I'm amazed how people advertise on freeview they need to know many can't see their adverts

@oshaymoishe1 @alwaysresister 2 1/2, now you remind me - still have an old analogue portable with Freeview set-top box in case of emergency! Also 3 laptops, though that's not half as swanky as it might sound ;-) 1 work, 1 old & this one an embarrassingly bad waste of money... :-/

@petew2804 Hi Peter, Whether you've got a Smart Box with Freeview or a Smart Box with 4K and Voice Search, you'll find the reset button on the bottom of your Box. For a factory reset, hold the button down for about 6 seconds.

@TimProviseNZ @maoritv Managed to track down your appearance Freeview on Demand. Someone needs to give you a TV slot & stop wasting money on **** like Jono & Ben/ Guy Williams.
