    @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 🙁

    @FreeviewAdvice Can you help me please. I am now relying on Freeview. My tv has HD but Freeview isn’t. How do I get my Freeview into HD. It’s not a pleasure to watch. Thank you.

    @FO2D_ All right, can you come back to us if you still see the issue tomorrow after lunch? It looks like freeview servers (where you get the ads from) did have some issue today so it could explain why you got few issues.

  • Mighty_Shipp Stairface Ogre (@Mighty_Shipp) reported

    @Lydiarosesteph you never had to pay for it, even in your situation you can just use itvx for free, the subscription removes ads and have extra content but watching live and love island are available for free. also freeview is free so i don't understand why u wouldn't have it if u have a tv

  • Quoton Brian Campbell (@Quoton) reported from Greenock, Scotland

    @Johnson66892442 @Nick_Metcalfe One thing which may help is that you can go to red button by choosing channel 981 on Sky or 301 on freeview, if you want to avoid iplayer👍

  • sharonkaraa Sharon Karaa (@sharonkaraa) reported

    @Argos_Online I will NEVER shop at Argos again. Purchased a freeview box - only got 14 channels. Tried to return it and because I'd tried it you have refused. Absolutely disgusting! How is someone to know something doesn't work until they try it???

  • Richard94594538 Richard East (@Richard94594538) reported

    @MarkKen20510303 I wonder how long it will be before they want a TV station on Freeview/Freesat? Ofcom won't mind, they're happy to have rightist lies and hate rammed down people's throats.

  • hispanista Hispanista (@hispanista) reported

    @thefish64 @psychpolis Never used them in the U.K. Freeview was enough + NowTV, Netflix and Prime. My fibre broadband was BT.

  • oohmissus Mothy (@oohmissus) reported

    @TheHutchPlay @TalkingPicsTV Looking forward to watching this. But my Freeview recorder is not showing ‘Series Timer Record’ option for this programme - are you able to fix this @TalkingPicsTV ? And if there’s an appetite for classic French TV, how about ‘Aeronauts’ and ‘The Flashing Blade’?
