    @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 🙁

    @revtrev6 @GBNEWS Unfortunately 236 is not transmitted around here as confirmed by Freeview. Also many other parts of the country. Big city -good, countryside - bad. Hoping for online broadcast.

    @FreeviewAdvice My freeview reception has been playing up last night and this morning. It seems to be okay now but yeah its been a bit up and down in Milton Keynes.

  • carcoutts Charlie (@carcoutts) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice My Freeview has been down all day. Tried retuning, but no joy. I'm in the Reading area.

  • stuart52club Stuart 52% (@stuart52club) reported

    @GBNEWS @JoeBlog21 Help. I can't get all the Freeview channels so have to relay on Freesat. When will you guys come to Freesat?

  • unit_korg Korg Unit 🇬🇧🇧🇻🇺🇸 (@unit_korg) reported

    @Huddert @jacquelineter17 Why are y'all even watching the bbc. Let them spout their sh*te into a void. GB News on Freeview Channel 236 is broadcasting soon. Get your TV re-tuned if it does not show the test signal. Enjoy.

  • colinm65290743 colin_m (@colinm65290743) reported

    @Iromg Yes, retuned my Freeview and there it is, GB News test signal on ch 236.

  • fab4records ⱤØ₵₭₵ⱧɆ₣💉X1 (@fab4records) reported

    @GBNEWS @Nanaakua1 Excellent. I nipped over to Freeview 236 yesterday & sure enough, I had to re-tune the telly! Once I'd done that I could see the GB News test signal screen ready & waiting. 👍

  • hampshirebus CJ (@hampshirebus) reported

    @UKTVOnThisDay Still got one of their boxes in my storage somewhere. I was using it as a Freeview set top box for kitchen portable telly until Freeview started twiddling with signal

  • AndrewC27229990 Andrew Carr (@AndrewC27229990) reported

    @DUCKmagstoke Constant pixilating on tv, lose broadband when outside the living room, despite the tech giving a decent speed. Price rise every six months. More chanel choices on freeview, unbelievably. Absolute crap. Its going when i can summon up the energy.#virginmedia.

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

    That's relevant to viewers who have compatibility issues with these channels. HbbTV is mandated for all Freeview Play devices, whereas MHEG is now hit-and-miss.
