  • 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 🙁

    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.

  • gildy61 Random Jottings of Gildersleeve (@gildy61) reported

    OK If I am back home and the time to mess around with the TV cables etc...later today if I cannot get the standalone Freeview box working. Its all down to working out how to add it into a fairly complicated roure. My fault for not paying attention when I dismantled it.

  • dudmad David Dudman (@dudmad) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice is their issues with Freeview signals from Mendip transmitter? Live in BA2 area and lost all signals on Sat 18th, also down today 19th Dec. Tried to retune both LG TV's and no channels found.

  • ACampbe36885200 A Mctootie Campbell. (@ACampbe36885200) reported

    Got a confession to make. Sometimes I watch the 9 because there's fek all else on Freeview. Does that make me a bad person 🤔

    @_i0n Where you live got reception probs then mate? Like hills blocking a signal? Where I live is a bit of a nightmare. Cos the high channels on Freeview I can't get cos 5G wipes them out.
