    @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 🙁

    @jontutoring @MichelleDewbs Volume no problem on Sky but on Freeview it needs to be cranked up

  • kiwiwalrus Keryn Knight (@kiwiwalrus) reported

    Why is @TVNZ making it harder for kiwis to access their content? Why split your on demand content from freeview and require people to have yet another app and login? Are you planning on charging for it? Or do you just enjoy causing inconvenience? @TVNZondemand

  • nhs_groverhaus Spooks Malloy (@nhs_groverhaus) reported

    @LamentablyAwake @BierStarmer @BareLeft This is the problem though, a Unite channel will just be all the same people but now on freeview for some reason.

  • k4bladesagain cheekfulloftongue🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@k4bladesagain) reported

    @GBNfans Still not a great picture on my freeview. Don't know if it's their end or just a weak signal but needs to be HD. Something to go up against question time on Thursdays. More variety/presenters...its starting to get a bit "samey" all the time.

  • stephenbarnes6 stephen barnes (@stephenbarnes6) reported

    @ThatsTVGold Looking forward to this cant get the manchester version signal too weak.this has appeared on my freeview tv.will it be music or entertainment.or both.

  • thisisrjg Dr Jamiebear 🐻 (@thisisrjg) reported

    @merseytart @MrsSimonTemplar Broadband here at my mum’s went down earlier today. I have no idea at all how to navigate her complex system of Freeview tv with no aerial attached to Freeview+ recorder with aerial that appears to supply her tv with pictures. With her Roku stick and Echo down, I sat in silence.

  • OBAHIANO4 OBAHIANO (@OBAHIANO4) reported

    @deedollydee @GBNfans Channel 236 on freeview (it is on our T.V.), just a few channels down from B.B.C. NEWS 24. 👍🏾

  • VLeggeri ViaggiareLeggeri (@VLeggeri) reported

    Dear @FreeviewTV , You know how bad it feels, when you discover cat poo in the middle of your living room? Today I found GB News on Freeview, on my TV. Same feeling. Can you please clean up? @GBNews_Fails

  • BrianPr94091114 GW4DVB (@BrianPr94091114) reported

    @GBNEWS The quality of your signal on Freeview is appalling -any chance you can go HD ?<

  • Statto_74 Andy Rockall (@Statto_74) reported

    I only have Freeview HD but cannot believe the difference in clarity. Have chosen to watch Sweden v Poland which is on ITV 4 in SD it’s crap compared to ITV HD.
