    @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 🙁

  • LLLioness1973 Linzi (@LLLioness1973) reported

    Anyone else having problems with Freeview as i have lost so manychabbels and reinstalled installation 4 times and still missing channels.

  • FlappyBerk Christian (@FlappyBerk) reported

    @RealBlackIrish @uncanted The current ITV issue is likely a consequence of digital terrestrial infrastructure being held together with bubblegum and hope, since it's only effecting Freeview. I don't think there's a huge conspiracy to normalise the loss of Tipping Point repeats for an afternoon.

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

    Problems with ITV on Freeview do appear to be linked to the assembling of the D3&4 multiplex.

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

    The incident originally resulted in a Freeview multiplex configuration glitch when E4 was broadcast in place of S4C in Wales. During the last 24 hours, ITV and Channel 5 have been glitching in some regions while other services on the multiplex were fine.

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

    (Since 25th September, Channel 4's Freeview services have been running at lower bitrates on all other transmitters in the country, following the Red Bee Media incident.)

  • HayleyJaneLyon2 Hayley Jane Lyon (@HayleyJaneLyon2) reported

    @ITV Are you having issues with your ITV freeview channels this afternoon? All are currently pixelated. Other channels are ok. Please advise? Thanks

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    Not even surprised with not having a signal after promises by @Freeview. Absolute **** show of a company. Over two months with ZERO signal. Promised 13th "thousands of homes will have their signal" by 6am, yep nothing Now we start to talk compensation @TheNorthernEcho

  • TheDoctor2058 Anthony 🏳️‍🌈🎵 (@TheDoctor2058) reported

    so according to the freeview website a majority of people will get the signal back on wednesday. Whether or not that includes yours truly is a matter of time.

  • DissBugBear BugBear (@DissBugBear) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV Getting VERY poor reception in Diss at the moment from Freeview/Tacolneston, but that's likely a transmitter problem, not you.

  • runnerbrite Max Richens 💙 (@runnerbrite) reported

    @charlesarthur @BBCMoreOrLess Only Freeview. Freesat ones are a bit more expensive as generally on larger Sony boxes if I stayed Sony.. Though I also have a Panasonic freesat TV which works ok. But an issue is that the current one works so I am reluctant to add it to the heap of discarded electronics.
