  • 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 🙁

    @BBCiPlayer hi. Is there a way to turn off the iplayer pop up notifications on freeview so they don’t interrupt the programme I’m watching please?

  • froddd Fred (@froddd) reported

    @LGUK When are you aiming to support FreeView Play and All4? ‘Soon’ not a good enough answer

  • Gethin76 Gethin 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@Gethin76) reported

    @FuudBlog Dunno about Virgin but when you cancel Sky, the box still works as a Freeview box - just with the recording and catch-up services disabled. Never had Virgin TV (never lived in an area where it's available) so dunno if its possible with one of theirs - but worth checking?

  • froddd Fred (@froddd) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice what’s the deal with @LGUK TVs not getting FreeView Play? One of their customer reps mentioned licensing issues, others say your developers are working on finishing apps for new TVs (odd, given those apps worked perfectly fine on same WebOS Last year). What gives?

    Why the fk is my 4K tv not showing my freeview programmes in 4K? Any help

  • JorgeMAlmeida_ Jorge Almeida 🇵🇹🇪🇺🇬🇧 | 🧠▶️🛐 (@JorgeMAlmeida_) reported

    @SocialM85897394 So you want people that can't pay for subscription to go without an important service? Or do you think Freeview will continue to be a thing after the license is scraped? You do realise you're only paying 7pense per channel per month with the license... Patronising much?

  • AntipodeanC Antipodean Collector (@AntipodeanC) reported

    Here in Rotorua Freeview seems to be ****** right now. Several channels show no service (1 for example, what a relief at least to avoid 6 pm broadcast), 10 no volume etc. What's causing this? Anywhere other than Rot?
