    @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 🙁

    @c25zbb24f6 @netblocks I can't even get normal TV apart from freeview, I'm in Premier inn, paid £5 for ultimate WiFi and can't even connect to the Internet never mind streaming.

  • juedan3 Stelson (@juedan3) reported

    @AmazonHelp Yes it's a known fault. I've spoken to the Toshiba UK support team a month ago and they told me there is an issue with your software causing issues with Freeview HD channels. They told me Amazon need to update the software. The TV has the latest software and has been returned.

  • MattGunner32 Matt Gunner (@MattGunner32) reported

    @JVCSmartHome I have a LT-40CF890. TV is only operating via the apps and Wifi. Press any of the channel numbers and it comes up, but screen is blank and no sound. If I press Live TV button, it just shows Freeview and buffering. Tried unplugging TV but problem persists.

    @Joketamsonswean @BertieThompso18 @CraigMurrayOrg The original post from Craig is certainly trying to suggest. If you have an issue with Scotland games being on ViaPlay (I'd much prefer they were on Sky or Freeview TV aswell) then you should really direct your anger towards UEFA and the SFA.

  • bakeliteguy Guy Roberts (@bakeliteguy) reported

    @Jan_208 It really does! I have no problem watching 405 line black and white especially with vintage content. The freeview box it is attached to seems to be stuck on @TalkingPicsTV !

  • Obi1_Shinobi 𝐍Ⓘℕ𝓳ค (@Obi1_Shinobi) reported

    @SpeedStar_76 @BBCNews 'You can cancel your licence if you no longer: watch or record TV on any channel via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat) watch live on streaming services (e.g. ITVX, All 4, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Now, Sky Go) use BBC iPlayer*.'

  • LizInSussex liz (@LizInSussex) reported

    @AboutEG 101 still not working for local news, on freeview

  • odubhda odubhda (@odubhda) reported

    @Al_Hine I don't think that it's on the basic Saorview (Freeview) package, I think you just get the RTE and Virgin Media Channels... and Oireachtas TV! So you will be in trouble if it's BBC you need. But that's always been the case as far as I know since the switchover. No C4 either.

    @AntnHz We lost my husband's nan to pancreatic cancer and while she never played DND, she was the tech savvy nan, always on the internet, always recording stuff on her Freeview box, with her MP3 player, mobile...cut from the same cloth as yours I'd say. I hope they meet xx
