    @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 🙁

  • happyborg happyborg: decentralising & democratising (@happyborg) reported

    What have you done @RadioTimes? The online TV Guide I've used for years has been broken in multiple ways. Choosing things like 'Freeview' breaks it. Lazy loading as I scroll never completes, channel numbers aren't shown. It's hard to scroll vertically without it scrolling time😵

  • PhilipRDavies Philip Davies (@PhilipRDavies) reported

    @LUFC_josh Yep, a couple of ITV channels down here (via Freeview from the Wenvoe transmitter near Cardiff)

  • Edinburgh59 Alex (@Edinburgh59) reported

    @d_n_g_x @Rebekaaah__ freeview is having issues in some parts

  • JasonFlavell Jase 🎢 (@JasonFlavell) reported

    @timpez123 It can be, it entirely depends on your Wi-Fi, it relies on that entirely, if your wife is down the TV is pretty much defunct apart from if you have an arial in it for free view. Same applies if you cancel the sky subscription, the TV is basically a dead tv other than freeview
