    @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 🙁

    @SkyHelpTeam can you tell me what exactly your admin fee of £20 is and why I have to pay this every time I renew my sky q package, as a long time customer I’m seriously considering keeping my £20 and just using freeview and Netflix

    @vee4vampy No, it's a Freeview on demand service we watch it on. I think its called "My five". Vince retired/stepped down a few weeks ago now and it's been triple H that stepped up and took over.

    @tarasutherland @felicitykate @rosered_nz My TV has a Freeview tuner built in. I had the antenna guy come and take the antenna down because birds we’re using it to **** on my deck. I can stream live TV from the TVNZ and Three apps on Apple TV if I want to subject myself to that.

    @LGUK is it true that my LG tv screen keeps going black because of an issue with HD freeview signal? Got told by your rep that I had to wait three weeks for a software update.

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi! I bought a new jvc TV and tuned my freeview but there are no channels before 12. It says scanning complete. I have another tv in another room and my freeview channels start from 1. Hope you can help. Thanks!

    @LGUKCare Hi LG, my TV model number 43UP78006LB won't detect any channels through cable input and doesn't detect any Freeview channels via Wifi. Any suggestions as to what the problem might be?

  • MichaelBalmer19 Mighty Mike (@MichaelBalmer19) reported

    @BBCNews And that folks are part of the problem in this country. The idea of what constitutes being poor is misunderstood. Cheap mobile phone, Freeview TV, reliable car, all essential. Not latest iPhone, multiple channel streaming and new car.

    @winklepin @DanTillotson If you are still having problems when you retune, there is a Freeview helpline that might be worth a chat with? Freeview advice line on 03456 505050

    My Youview box has packed up. No major problem, but it was convenient to have all my streaming apps (more or less) in one place with one controller. Am I better off buying an android box or a smart tv with all built in? I have an Amazon stick but no Freeview on it. Thoughts?
