    @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 🙁

  • chris_sucksmith Chris (@chris_sucksmith) reported from East Cowes, England

    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.

  • Bermudgirl Marilyn McCubbin (@Bermudgirl) reported from Netley, England

    @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.

  • Evoqueist Evoqueistidor 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇺🇸 (@Evoqueist) reported from Upton, England

    @101Maurice We get EE 4G but it's pretty patchy I live in a suburban area a couple of miles from Poole in Dorset and can't get a freeView signal so have to use Freesat....

  • word_soup Ian (@word_soup) reported

    @SuperRetroid Had that on my first freeview pvr & after the initial novelty had worn off I basically never used it.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    Why is S4C showing E4 on Freeview in Wales? On Freeview, S4C is normally bundled together with Channel 4's signal where it replaces E4. E4 in Wales is bundled with other commercial services, where it replaces GREAT! Movies Action. (1/2)

  • TinaEEWatts Tina Watts (@TinaEEWatts) reported from Canterbury, England

    @downdetector our film 4 snd film 4 +1 had gone down on freesat (not freeview)

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    Channel 4 on satellite is working (if you want to watch Deadpool 2). Problems persist on Freeview in some regions - this is because of the way C4 is distributed on terrestrial TV. Example C4 SD: E Mids Freeview: blank screen with 4 logo top left. North East Freeview: normal.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @danmooreradio It appears at least C5 has a back-up feed. C4 is restored - i.e. there is a working feed around. The problem now appears to be in the distribution chain for Freeview's D3&4 (PSB2) multiplex.

  • PinderBanthorpe Surviving Baby Boomer 🌈💙#EmbraceBrexitMyArse Ⓥ (@PinderBanthorpe) reported

    P*ssed off with @Channel4 tonight. Settled down to watch #Deadpool2 - no HD, (on #Freeview), but more importantly, no subtitles! For the hard of hearing, like myself, subtitles are the only way we can follow the dialogue. Poor showing. 😡

  • stephen501 Kein Engländer mehr- Ich bin Europäer Stephen (@stephen501) reported

    I never thought I would have to mark down @premierinn because their freeview tv is so unresponsive with the remote. It's so slow to respond! Lovely room and hotel though.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    TV breakdown update: The worst is over for cable and satellite viewers. Freeview viewers appear to be worst affected, depending on which TV region you live in. This is because of Red Bee Media's role in getting TV services out to viewers via terrestrial TV.

  • Marc_Again Marc. AGAIN! (@Marc_Again) reported

    @VAS6323 She's on Freeview, but likes all of that treasure hunter crap. I just daisy chain them all together for her, and she now has 7 "potential tuners" Just like my old man, "maximum potential"
