    @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 🙁

  • Bermudgirl Marilyn McCubbin (@Bermudgirl) reported from Netley, England

    @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.

    One bad thing about #Freeview TV is all the begging adverts. Ignore em all, ain't contributing towards inflated staff salaries. Plenty of local little charities.

    Me posting a dozen of FREE content never that, I don't even update my photos frequently, I put the "Miss" in Mysterious...besides if i posted everything as a FREEview what would my customers to BUY or PAY for??

  • mylifeinwordsuk Lee-Mc (@mylifeinwordsuk) reported

    @virginmedia Just checked my bill, you are adding £24 a month, when I have zero usage on phone, basic 100mb fibre and basic mixit TV package which is paramount to freeview, sorry not getting fleeced by you, when you aren’t even providing a half decent service

  • PhlipGodfrey Philip Godfrey (@PhlipGodfrey) reported

    @johnzharper00 @E4Tweets I would have thought that as well but it's something to do with the way Freeview is routed around the Freeview network, we don't have E4 where I live so losing E4+1 is really disappointing.

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @jaco45er @NickyAACampbell @bbc5live BUT that's the issue there was never any fuel shortages, and those that hadn't had delivered were a 5 stations in the South proving again the news is southern centric focused....remind me again we're now on day 53 of no #Freeview yet bugger all talking about, no media asking why

    @PatricProAuthor One of the freeview (free to air) UK TV movie channels has already switched to nothing but Christmas movies, who watches three months of schmaltzy Christmas crap ?

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    It's like Christmas Eve, September 30th so tomorrow is 1st October or as I like to think "Early October" when #Freeview says we will once again after 2 months of no TV signal it will return (apparently 5th to be precise)...not holding my breath Will signal be back doubt it

    The woman wasn't arrested thankfully @tvlicensing don't send inspectors around until FREEVIEW reinstated of course people are going to cancel their license the VERY FACT THEY HAD A LICENCE TO CANCEL should tell you they ain't dodging getting a licence

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    @a516digital E4+1 is back on Freeview on the west midlands transmitter at least. Though the picture quality is poor even by Freeview standards though on checking +1 is far better than the standard service. +1 is also missing its DOG.
