@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 🙁

@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.

@mikeportsmouth We got £40 off very easily by saying we were going to leave, but still too much so will be looking at the options in this thread. But have a good Ariel now so Freeview for us just to decide which broadband to go for. Virgin are awful though. Good luck

@ManchesterTVUK not sure if you are aware, but your Freeview channel 99 is transmitting news about Yorkshire. I have contacted @FreeviewAdvice and they said it’s a broadcast issue with yourselves.

Just watched “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” (1986) on the Great Movies channel (Freeview 33). Unfortunately and inexplicably they cut out the final scene. #FerrisBueller

@bookyblonde @skytv @TalkingPicsTV Me neither, I've got an old sky box and that still gets tptv, definitely not upgrading, if anything goes wrong with my box, I shall be getting a freeview box instead, it's on there, been a customer for over 25 years, definitely can't do without tptv

@mjohndyke Do you use freeview or another service to watch TV? You might need to retune.

@simonhardwick Not sure Freeview update-over-DVB-T updates happen any more do they? The DTG closed that service a while back (it's now IP or USB update only?)

@sgordon_the87 @russty_russ The signal was very weak at the time, I bought a DTT set top from Currys just before Freeview launched. ITV2 was on-air from 2.35pm - midnight. Aside from that, little else from them. ITN News Channel unusually aired on the platform from 6am - 9.25am.
