    @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 🙁

    WTF! Anyone else lost ITV, C4 and C5 on Freeview? Just rescanned the digibox when prompted and they've ****** off (technical term). Box now defaulting to BBC3 on channel 23.

    @IMPACTWRESTLING I used to watch it, but they deserted freeview and went pay per view, never mind I enjoy watching AEW on Freeview lots of Impact Wrestlers have gone there like Hardy for one big name, and there are others including Women

    @DrewLawDesign A few saying Everett, I liked him in the 70s as a kid but I watched it the other week on Freeview and it was cringy as **** really really ****. Best left of n the 70s I think. Anyway has to be Ken Loach.

    @BbcBring Bollocks! Not in HD on my dog end of a @Freeview service.

  • Dezos1984 Derek Liddle (@Dezos1984) reported

    .@ITV4 I get ITV4 through Freeview and, for a couple of days now, the signal has been very poor, with visual and audio break-up. I’ve re-tuned the TV, but this hasn’t helped. Any ideas on what is causing this?

  • StevenNT Steven Jones (@StevenNT) reported

    @runrigok @ukdtt Yea as LG TV's of a certain age are Freeview Play complaint so have the HbbTV support as well

  • DoctaP2 Pazzle Ron Cupboard (@DoctaP2) reported

    @simontucker1979 My parents eventually paid to have a booster aerial put in, just to try and pick up channel 4. Cost like a hundred quid and the signal was pretty patchy but it worked just about, wasn't that much longer before they started broadcasting it anyway tho I think, maybe Freeview time.

  • janehartwell Jane Hartwell (@janehartwell) reported

    @virginmedia I got through eventually but now I have a new problem!! Loads of channels have disappeared. There should be no changes to my package. I’m effectively paying Virgin to supply me with Freeview! What’s going on?

  • iMcWarner Jay (@iMcWarner) reported

    @virginmedia @SkyUK Virgin media up your game, 20 minutes queuing to speak to customer service about a price improvement, offered another 18 month contract with less services than I have for £60pm and most of the TV is on freesat/freeview. Sky do more for £45pm, You can do better
