    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

    @Webbo2306 I’ve sorted it. Didn’t pay for HD as most Freeview channels are already in HD. It’s just the Sky channels that you have to pay for and I don’t really watch them much. Works out I’m paying £15 a month extra on my internet, so not bad. 👍🏻

    @MisterVivian @cleanfeed_ttvr Saorview uses DVB-T / MPEG4, so it's the other way around. MPEG4 actually allows broadcasters to fit more channels on a multiplex. As a result, Sky News at 704x576 can be done at similar bitrates as a 544x576 service on UK Freeview. You may remember Sky once wanted to launch...

    The FREEVIEW transmitter on Guildford's Hog's Back is DOWN. No Freeview TV reception in and around Guildford. UNPRECEDENTED! No idea when NORMAL service will resume.

    @_MrRLC Hi Richard, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview reception. So we can look into this can you please provide your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • MadenRon Ron Maden (@MadenRon) reported

    @brianwinteruk @Al_Hine @ThatsTVXmas It's neither the TV, Freesat or Freeview it is the broadcaster sending out a widescreen signal: Bit rate mode: Variable Bit rate: 1294 Kbps Maximum bit rate: 15.0 Mbps Width: 544 pixels, Height: 576 pixels Display aspect ratio: 16:9 Frame rate: 25.000 fps Scan type: Interlaced

    @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)

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    So much for the upgrade on signal from shiteview, the BBC channels (only channel we got after 'upgrade') aren't picking up a signal at all. Would be angry but given it's only BBC channels it's actually the small silver lining in the ongoing incompetentcy by #Freeview

    @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

  • torkingt1 Trevor (@torkingt1) reported

    Watching ‘The Silent Enemy’ on Freeview. Must be the only black and white war film I’ve never seen before.

  • 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.
