  • 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 🙁

    @FreeviewTV Would love to watch, but Freeview seems to be down - surely you're not ignoring the fact that the service has been bad all week and has completely given up today. Or am I just imagining a no signal message on every channel?

  • wonkyalison wonkyalison (@wonkyalison) reported from Beverley, England

    What is going on with freeview? Thought my aerial &/or signal booster were broken. No obvious issues. Seems lots of folk are reporting issues. Grrr.

    @FreeviewAdvice are you going to put out a tweet about the widespread freeview service being down or what. Hundreds of reports on down detector complaining about not being able to view ANY channels. While your site claims nothing is wrong in all these areas. Come on, sort it out.
