    @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 🙁

  • FilmConnolly Phil(ip) Connolly (@FilmConnolly) reported from Eastbourne, England

    @MrAbelMagwitch A lot of University students also have access to "Box of Broadcasts" an online catchup service which can show tv programs from all the main freeview channels... they can stream BBC content on without needing a TV license.

  • EllenCottis Ellen Cottis (@EllenCottis) reported

    @JamesTurner37 @timalmond So what if the person could only afford the TV subscription? Sounds like virgin media are holding customers to ransom in your complex and could be forcing other customers into debt especially with COL crisis at present. Try an indoor aerial and signal booster for freeview tv.

    @CameronYardeJnr @UKChristmasTV What freeview box do you have? Does it support manual tune?

  • EMcG67 Eamonn McGuinness (@EMcG67) reported

    @Flintaxe @BBCiPlayer Hello again. I seem to have fixed this issue. I didn't have a TV aerial connected to the back of the TV itself (I use a BT box.) Once I connected to the back of the TV, iplayer worked as it operates via the Freeview Play platform. Hope this works for you.

    @TheSilverCloak @UKChristmasTV I'm not giving up my Sky. But Talking Pictures only has the catch up service on Freeview and I want to see it on proper TV. You can't cast from the app to the TV.

  • maverickladys Wilameana (@maverickladys) reported

    @BorisJohnson How wonderful, how about sorting out the signal for our ancient techno, TV, can’t get a signal for Freeview & have had to have Sky for years despite new digi aerials & boosters & still have to pay for TV Licence!

  • Lauren66793666 Lauren Facall (@Lauren66793666) reported

    @dsoq They show it here in UK on Freeview talking pictures channel. I'd never seen it before.

  • Bickiebeej beej (@Bickiebeej) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV hi, We have a brand new TV, Internet and freeview but we get as far as pressing OK to watch something then a blank screen, with the red button service. Are we not doing something obvious maybe?

  • northernstock2 Kimberley Stock (@northernstock2) reported

    @BBC an issue the last 4 days with interference from Emley Moor TV Mast. It affects all BBC channels and cannot recieve some other channels especially channel 83 and others at that end of the freeview list upto 101. The HD channels are not affected. This is thru TV and digibox
