    @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 🙁

    Freeview is ****

  • danblythewriter Daniel Blythe (@danblythewriter) reported

    My @TalkingPicsTV signal on Freeview is scrambled worse than one of Alain's messages to London tonight... looks like we'll be watching #SecretArmy on TPTV Encore after the event this week!

  • Originsingamer zinorigins (@Originsingamer) reported

    @Potatoe_Waffles @Machobeard4life It's on itv 4 not itv 1, still need to buy a freview box or have a TV with freeview built in, then you have to factor in that not everyone's signal would be perfect on freeview, so they will more likely use fite TV or subscribe to itv hub or britbox, it's not free TV at all

  • chris_sucksmith Chris (@chris_sucksmith) reported from East Cowes, England

    One bad thing about #Freeview TV is all the begging adverts. Ignore em all, ain't contributing towards inflated staff salaries. Plenty of local little charities.

  • frankensteirer yoo hoo (@frankensteirer) reported

    @MyNottingham @MikeBeardPhoto Can somebody fix area masts to clifton NG11 9H area since the new build started we've had freeview issues now threes showing as complete service loss we always used to be least able to get 3g and 4g it's a major city and cliftons huge massive student population should be full 5g

  • intouchwithox David Oxendale M7OXY (@intouchwithox) reported

    @transdiffusion I was there. With the red square of signal death. What a great team we had at Ondigital. It's a pity it was doomed to fail from the outset - but every time I use Freeview, I'm glad we did what we did to make DVB happen.

  • scousepie Emma (@scousepie) reported

    Hotel’s not bad at all. One of them little gaffs where they’ve got several and I had to carry my suitcase up three flights of stairs, but an unexpected fridge and if I can work out how to get the Freeview on I’ll be absolutely laughing here. Sainsbury’s over the road an all.

  • h5ringer TheMaestroCat (@h5ringer) reported

    Series recording on @HumaxUK Freeview box (NOT Freesat) FVP-4000T not been working for a couple of weeks. Records single programs and first of a series ok, but does not recognise subsequent episodes. Problem not limited to any particular channel(s). What’s happening?

  • Jackphe05306203 Jack phelps (@Jackphe05306203) reported

    @SkyUK Sky have gone right down hill heard that the bt box office can’t be accessed on the sky glass also what happens if internet suddenly drops out there’s only freeview access also live games are a few seconds behind on the streaming on the tv waste of money end off enough said
