    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.

  • 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 🙁

  • zombiestyled TheGreatCordwainer (@zombiestyled) reported

    @TinnerSmith @itvfootball Yes. Bizarre scheduling for these final round games I've found. HD ITV2,3 and 4 has made its way to Freesat but still SD on Freeview. Poor

  • canispeaktodave canispeaktodave (@canispeaktodave) reported

    The bitrate of ITV4 on Freeview is so bad the feed must be being streamed from a 56k modem.

  • theprivateroryg ruairí 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈 (@theprivateroryg) reported

  • juneandnoz June Taylor (@juneandnoz) reported

    @QuestTV No transmission of Quest on Freeview 12. Have retuned the telly to no avail. Can pick up Quest plus 1 on Channel 70. No other Freeview channels affected. Is there a problem with Lincolnshire transmitter?

  • EmmaLovelace Emma Lovelace (@EmmaLovelace) reported

    All channels on Freeview are unwatchable at the moment. Been like that for a few days, terrible service.

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @ZillionaireArt @freesat_tv It is just Freeview and online for now. We are always looking at updating and growing the service and will continue to do so whenever possible.

  • mcdonal01 Alan McDonald (@mcdonal01) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. As part of our broadband/phone package we have the small, internet connected, Freeview box. We have problems with the box. It regularly says that channels are not available despite them ok via app and has to be rebooted several times. Can we get replacement?

  • martindalton5 Martin Dalton (@martindalton5) reported

    @ITVX pretty crap that ITV only have 1 channel in HD in 2022 on Freeview and none of them are on their App !!!!

  • sibur_67 SiBur 🇺🇦 (@sibur_67) reported
