  • 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 🙁

    @FreeviewAdvice Can you help me please. I am now relying on Freeview. My tv has HD but Freeview isn’t. How do I get my Freeview into HD. It’s not a pleasure to watch. Thank you.

    One bad thing about #Freeview TV is all the begging adverts. Ignore em all, ain't contributing towards inflated staff salaries. Plenty of local little charities.

  • abline11 Andy Brown (@abline11) reported

    @MrRandomGuy93 @ImVaradi @davywright65 I was Head of Project Management at the BBC in 2002 and was responsible for creating Freeview in 6 months after ITV Digital failed after years of trying. Maybe you think someone waved a magic wand and it was born in a garage. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 You muppet (although I don’t want to be rude)

  • MrRandomGuy93 That Random Guy (@MrRandomGuy93) reported

    @abline11 @ImVaradi @davywright65 No, I don't need to, I have a garage for that. Whilst I don't want to sound rude, your generation make me laugh when they try and act like they're so much more intelligent but don't even know how to tune in a digital TV to get freeview.

  • cypressbill1980 Robert (@cypressbill1980) reported

    @hackerb0t Example. I was at a recycling dump and a guy was throwing away a huge LG LCD screen. I said whats up with it? he said"cant get it to tune into tv signal" He said I could take it. Plugged in my pc, ps3 & freeview terrestrial tv box using the scart/hdmi all worked. Opportunities

  • IanOnFilm 🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈📽💿Ian Smith (@IanOnFilm) reported

    TV signal vanished last night again and still isn’t back. One week after fire was put out Freeview say 2+ more weeks to fix. It is staggering to me that the biggest transmission aerial in the country could have been decimated so quickly and with no real contingency plans.

  • mattarkwright Matt (@mattarkwright) reported

    @virginmedia is there any updates when we’ll get TV working again in DL3?? it’s been down since Tuesday along with freeview

  • SpirouTheGamer Spirou The Dragon (@SpirouTheGamer) reported

    @bigkite @Prof_Nostalgia @FreeviewAdvice Have you phoned the Freeview Helpline to ask further information? If you don't have internet access to check signal transmissions online your best route is to phone 03456 50 50 50. Mon - Fri, 9am to 5pm. Sadly now the soonest you can call is Monday.

  • scraggytees nigel teece (@scraggytees) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice hi .. I love in Norton just outside of stockton.. o service except 14 channels on and off.. No Freeview or BBC .I think now I am entitled to ask when will I see some changes ??

  • WiggumCharm Tom Head (@WiggumCharm) reported

    That's your lot on this issue. Nothing more to say. Consider this the 10-minute freeview on Babestation and make do with it... 😎

  • ItsPreeceyHere Leigh Preece (@ItsPreeceyHere) reported

    @tideswellman @BTCare I had Youview for about six months. Ditched it and never looked back. Used Freesat and Freeview since + Firestick for catchup services. All free and fine.

  • Renbymon Zen-Aku ⬛🐺🗡 (@Renbymon) reported

    Apparently it's not just ITV4, most of the Freeview movie channels are "interrupt a movie with 5 minutes of celebrity/sports news".
