    @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 🙁

    @KnightonJ Hi Jake. I'd suggest speaking with the manufacturer. My TV at home (Hisense) has no problems and if it does usually unplugging it for 60 seconds does the trick. If no quick tricks make a lasting fix to Freeview Play, speak with the manufacturer of the TV. Thanks, Fin

    @dougmcfarlane41 Coming to fix the freeview aerial😳

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital When i lived at my parents freeview was no trouble at all. And remember getting com7 and 8, when they started.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital Most who I know have got sky and or freesat so makes no difference, but those who do watch freeview have problems with Forces TV, BBC4 HD, etc, the Great TV! Channels are all pixelated, and ITV ch4 and ch5 keeps popping and squeaking on the sound.

  • Phi1Masters Phil Masters (@Phi1Masters) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Can you confirm if any works are affecting LL30 2SY (Llandundo)? Freeview showing no signal intermittently last couple if days, then completely off yesterday about 4pm. Still no return!!@

  • AaronLancs Aaron Read (@AaronLancs) reported

    @MarkandDrama The moment that the BBC loses the central funding from the LF is when I predict that Freeview and Freesat are doomed to death*. Yet these idiots don't seem to realise that the UK's main PSB is the core to the "free" stuff they guzzell down. *I'd give it five years.

  • back_the_BBC Back the BBC 📺📻📡📱 (@back_the_BBC) reported

    John Whittingdale leaving @DCMS may be bad news for BBC. He had ruled out a subscription model for the BBC as being technically impossible on Freeview (to replace the licence fee). He was also known to like Tim Davie's reforms of the BBC

  • ThunderCats_Ho_ ThunderCats Ho (@ThunderCats_Ho_) reported

    @Grownmangrumble That's a conspiracy theory. I'm left-wing and support #DefundTheBBC movement. The BBC model of taxation is out-of-date, as there are multiple alternatives like Sky, Netflix, Amazon, YouTube, Freeview, BritBox etc. Let customers choose what they want to watch and pay for.

  • ai_azman Azman Idris (@ai_azman) reported

    @eddydaud FreeView: absolutely rite. Best is new n fresh leader from younger gen. Dont get Mukhriz coz it will be worst than now. Terima hakikat atau hard to win even 1 seat. I bet on it.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital If com7 is being removed, it can,t be far off round here. Might be wrong, these might be three network! Who are using 900mhz. What I have found out from alot at work and where my parents live is freeview is very weak at the moment,
