  • RoboJ1M RoboJ1M (@RoboJ1M) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @Sonic_Sinclair @bbcmicrobot Technically it is, there's support for it in DVB. There's several channels on DVB satellite that uses it, not sure there's any on freeview. Certainly all the original services shutdown or moved to MHEG. The BBC mheg service was incredible but that's shutdown now too 🙁

    @101Maurice We get EE 4G but it's pretty patchy I live in a suburban area a couple of miles from Poole in Dorset and can't get a freeView signal so have to use Freesat....

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    TV breakdown update: The worst is over for cable and satellite viewers. Freeview viewers appear to be worst affected, depending on which TV region you live in. This is because of Red Bee Media's role in getting TV services out to viewers via terrestrial TV.

  • word_soup Ian (@word_soup) reported

    @SuperRetroid Had that on my first freeview pvr & after the initial novelty had worn off I basically never used it.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    Dreadful picture quality for More 4 Freeview viewers in North East England, still off air in other regions. While for others, everything is working fine. Why? That particular part of the Freeview service is regionalised and there are multiplexing issues in some areas.

  • eddsirr Edd Sirr (@eddsirr) reported

    @JBlairSco @S4C S4C is broadcasting, but the company that is responsible for distribution via Freeview has had a fire and when attempting to restore services seems to have made a mistake. It’s affected BBC to a less extent, the C5 family who are in recovery mode and C4 which is worst affected.

  • JohnnyGaluva Johnny Galuva (@JohnnyGaluva) reported

    Is it just me, or is Channel 4, E4 and Film 4 not working on Freeview right now? I've got a frozen image on each channel! 😯

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    Why is S4C showing E4 on Freeview in Wales? On Freeview, S4C is normally bundled together with Channel 4's signal where it replaces E4. E4 in Wales is bundled with other commercial services, where it replaces GREAT! Movies Action. (1/2)

    @offshorebella @NickUnitt Heard it is down on satellite and freeview

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @sminkypinky76 @The_X_Stitcher Hi, You could try and manually tune into one transmitter to avoid this issue. It would be dependent upon how your aerial is aligned. We would be happy to help. Please DM Freeview Advice your postcode, house name and number. Melissa

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @danmooreradio It appears at least C5 has a back-up feed. C4 is restored - i.e. there is a working feed around. The problem now appears to be in the distribution chain for Freeview's D3&4 (PSB2) multiplex.
