    @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.

  • RoboJ1M RoboJ1M (@RoboJ1M) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @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 I live in Hawkshead, near Ambleside in Cumbria. We have no Freeview reception at all, and haven't had for a couple of days. Can you help? Can't find any info as to whether there are some works going on. There is apparently a Hawkshead transmitter. Thanks.

    @johncraggsactor So glad Mr Hill making you laugh..I haven't seen any reruns yet so don't know if I've been on..I did the last 5 years, so pretty late...we laughed an awful lot doing the shows..is it on Freeview? Cx

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

    @MisterVivian @cleanfeed_ttvr ...a pay TV service on UK DTT called Picnic. The idea was to use MPEG4 to fit in four channels in the space occupied by three MPEG2 channels. [MPEG2 in combination with DVB-T is still the standard used for most Freeview channels]

  • annkavanagh09 Ann Kavanagh (@annkavanagh09) reported

    @lizmarsh18 @GeaPerks @virginmedia Thars my issue, their TV service is not so good and unfortunately due to my area I cannot watch through freeview as aerial no use otherwise I would

  • AnnieGE2 AnnieGE2 (@AnnieGE2) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi most of our freeview channels suddenly totally lost their signal about 15 minutes ago, even though were fine earlier. eg itv1, itv2, ch4, suddenly gone on all TVs, though some eg bbc & 5usa still on. What's going on? Am in Bromley Kent BR1 area, near SE London.

  • michaelfromuk Mike Flint from the UK, sparkling. (@michaelfromuk) reported

    VM TV is down, but internet still seems to work. So that's all the 'normal' channels even if you've got no TV aerial for FreeView. Relax people.

  • BoyCharioteer Stephen Miller (@BoyCharioteer) reported

    @DjDirtyDan87 @BenShoveller We simply switched to the old TV aerial on the freeview TV set. The premium TV is off for a few hours. If that is the worst that people are suffering then they are very lucky people. I always found Virgin Media service excellent.

  • raymierussell Raymond Russell (@raymierussell) reported

    @ImagesZx It seems to rely on what the definition of live TV. If a live program is available on Freeview, Cable TV or Sky (or any related streaming service) then that requires a license. You need fire example a license to watch Sky News live on YouTube. (1/2)

  • SimonTheSprout SimonTheSprout (@SimonTheSprout) reported

    I got a text to book my covid booster jab today and ignored it. But then I saw two army helicopters and now virgin media and freeview are down. Was this you @RAF_Luton ?

  • NickHackett2 Nicholas (@NickHackett2) reported

    @ScottsRadioSite @BBC_Cumbria True but so does 5G and if we going to update infrastructures it's best to do it same time rather than one after another so they could do that and sort freeview out and roll out better public and private Internet. It shouldn't be patchy network like on a train.
