    @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.

    @WayneRo14986293 @GuerinSports Putting the local racing on say freeview would help not only harness but all three codes

    @mark_simpson @jamesrhamilton @floongle Sorry to interrupt, but I was scratching my head for ages when I got my Samsung 4K TV. Apparently they reckon it's a feature for "upscaling" SD pictures on the built-in Freeview tuner.,without realising it makes some SD channels look even more bad than they normally are.

    So you let me fill out the complaint form then conveniently wouldn't let me submit it. I've now cancelled membership and the @NOWTV @NOWTVHelp sticks are going in the bin. What's the point, may as well watch Freeview & ITV catch up. Did you intend to lose all your customers?!

    @gbnews Have you lowered the bit rate on your Freeview channel? It's stuttering and the lighting is also very poor. What on earth is going on? It's worse than a Skype call.

  • daryl_millar Daryl Millar (@daryl_millar) reported

    @Moviebore I'm back on Freeview now. The signal had been breaking up.

  • StephenAFenwick Stephen Fenwick (@StephenAFenwick) reported

    This morning our broadband got cut off because my bank updated my card details in the ‘TV’ slot, and not the ‘broadband’ slot of my ISP’s system. Apparently Manuel is running Santander and Baldrick is running my ISP. I don’t have a TV package. We never have 🙄 we use Freeview.
