    @FreeviewAdvice Freeview didn't start a fire that caused the damage...nor did the company who now manage it. How quick do you think it takes to put up a temporary mast that's over 1000ft high (so that it still reaches everybody affected). You can't expect anyone to just throw a tower up..

    @Manhattan_TV Hi, I have a t2 freeview box which seems to have suddenly disconnected from the Internet, though all is plugged in. When I try & record it says 'please wait, loading hard drive' & nothing happens, I've tried resetting, turning off at plug, can you help pls?

    @a516digital What's needed however is to change the technology used and support a better system, such as DVB T2. I don,t see streaming as a threat to freeview or freesat for that matter. As , the title says it's free. Streaming is all paid for. Just ask my neighbours!.

    @alibi_channel Damn. Subscription only. Why not on freeview!

    @rdavies6 @Golf_5_TM I don't think many noticed the Freeview failure here. My kids found out when they couldn't get their YouTube fix with the WiFi off.

    Hmmm...Boom Radio is struggling again today 😟but it could still be Bilsdale transmitter related issues. I looked at Freeview TV for the first time since the fire last night. Did a scan. Nothing!

    Watching La Vuelta on Freeview (Quest). Anyone know why the resolution is so utterly crap? It's significantly worse than when they showed the Giro d'Italia.

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

    @Adam_Peterkin They use the 'Freesat home transponder', sitting alongside the signal that delivers the Freesat EPG. Unlike the current TV back-up for Freeview multiplex PSB2 via satellite, the DAB multiplexes are not broadcast in a format that your average satellite receiver can handle.

    @_NeilC__ Hi Neil, Can you send us a private message with the following: Your door number & postcode so we can check your local transmitter If the All4 app is also missing/not working If all your Freeview channels are working If you've performed any resets on your box recently Thanks

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital He then changed it to vertical. Came back down, said that's £240 payable to freeview, he would be back in the morning as there were other jobs.
