    @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 🙁

    @FreeviewTV My Parents only have limited freeview channels, is this because of the transmitter problems, if so, when will this be fixed as they only have freeview to watch and no internet they are both in their 80’s

  • Jayna63042831 Whimsical-BikerChick (@Jayna63042831) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice My sister is severely affected, she has absolutely no signal at all, not everyone has freeview play etc, can you not devert signel to other masts?

  • scraggytees nigel teece (@scraggytees) reported

    @8252Hazel Nope and as the transnitter is down only on DAB radio .... Nothing else ... I think if you download the Freeview app they have BBC tees on it ...not sure if it will work when game time comes

  • KeyworkerMan Yorkshire-man (@KeyworkerMan) reported

    @thestrayferret Bad news cos Freeview is a much sharper picture than the dark dull picture thru SKY satelite! Also there is no TFM radio in my car but Radio York is available!

  • Cheeses0fNaz cheeses of nazereth (@Cheeses0fNaz) reported

    Ok who's broken freeview? no chanels! I bet it's that aye bloke tripped over the wire and unplugged it.

  • bigrego85 Rego™🇮🇹 (@bigrego85) reported

    Hi @FreeviewAdvice, I live in the North East of England (Middlesbrough) and my Freeview went off but when I ran another scan it's only found 34 channels when I once had over 150? My signal appears to have dropped also. Most of the 34 channels are unwatchable due to pixels. Help?

  • gazzaeuro Gary Spence (@gazzaeuro) reported

    BBC One SD is working on Freeview but BBC One HD isn't, the Bilsdale signal is weak and unstable. But the picture just went off. P.S. The English regional programmes won't be in HD until next year. #Bilsdale

  • Alan_Dawson1971 The Plazzy Scouser (@Alan_Dawson1971) reported

    Over 3 hrs I've spent trying to figure out why the Freeview side of my BT box lost all the channels with no signal. Stripped wires removed plugs...checked other TVs ...only to finally find out the local transmitter is on 🔥.. not happy.....bedtime.....😠😠

  • Pmac2k Peter McGeever (@Pmac2k) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Fortunately my TV has freesat. Freeview play is terrible and you can't easily watch live TV on it. I fear I may have turned to the dark side forever

  • Joe__Monty Joe (@Joe__Monty) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    Looks like freeview is down across Teesside. No TV or radio signal..
