    @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 🙁

    @liampdwyer Thanks for getting back to us, Liam. This service can be accessed on freeview on channel 236, or if you're watching on the app. If it's hardly working, it'll be best to reset your TV box, and possibly your broadband.

  • Pwrf7doggo Mr. E (The 2-stroke years) (@Pwrf7doggo) reported

    @MovetheWorld9 @novaramedia This time in standard English rather than poor signal freeview.

  • JohnRei23687361 John Reid (@JohnRei23687361) reported

    I pay for basic TV Freeview at ,250 pound a year but I am still watching the same old **** I watched 3years ago

  • skipaiotter Skipai Otter @cohost/skipaiotter (@skipaiotter) reported

    @bad1ands True but I don't think the UK Gov would want to do that as it's too costly. What if mobile network went down? There has to be other ways here. Even if there's emergency broadcast masts put up that transmit on everything. VHF, UHF, Freeview, Freesat, Sky, Cable, etc.

  • ihatemogs Micheál O'Fiach (@ihatemogs) reported

    @crusaders1898 @andrewhdonohoe @Saraita101 No because it's called Saorview here, uses slightly different technology and doesn't carry BBC channels, only RTÉ and a few other domestic channels. Freeview, the UK system, is available in border areas where the signal leaks over the border, impossible to change.

  • HelenParkins Helen Parkins (@HelenParkins) reported

    @Robin_Askwith Enjoy your break from filming, Robin. I was having a bad day until I saw that "Confessions From A Holiday Camp " is on tv here in the UK this evening- 23.20 hrs on Talking Pictures, Freeview 82.

  • millar00 perseverance (@millar00) reported

    .@AJEnglish is the only channel on my sky box that says No Satellite Signal is being received consistently. Al Jazeera has also been removed from FreeView. It’s like someone doesn’t want you getting any news except from those that have supported Israel during its genocide.

  • TerryMeehan1234 Terry Meehan (@TerryMeehan1234) reported

    @FreeviewTV Hi Freeview 101 BBC has no EPG since your retune. Can you fix that please?

  • MapleFiltered Gruffalo Trace (@MapleFiltered) reported

    Can someone tell me how the hell a system as poor as @Freely_tv has been brought to market. Simply appalling designed, slow, clunky, user unfriendly and a MASSIVE downgrade on Freeview Play or You view. Deliberately avoiding selling TVs with your system now. Absolute nonsense

  • MixedSpur Andrew (@MixedSpur) reported

    Awful picture for this U21 match. Like watching Freeview on a smart tv.
