    @tomster36 Netflix and Amazon I have a subscription to but to use other streaming apps on one device, I don’t have freeview because it’s shit just use streaming services now

  • digibell Christopher Bell (@digibell) reported from Bognor Regis, England

    @FreeviewTV Hi there, I’ve been having bad problems with Freeview reception over past few days in Bognor Regis PO21. Channels blocking and after retuning, no HD channels whatsoever

  • 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 🙁

    @TreeHouseBkshop I feel I'm missing out on this too, but I've always relied on Freeview. There's more TV than I can spend time watching, so I've never seen the point of paying for content I'll never get around to viewing - until now!

    @NOWMusic Hey if you insist in having a music channel on Freeview can you please make sure the audio bitrate doesn’t sound garbage? The compression is painful

    @_MrRLC Hi Richard, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview reception. So we can look into this can you please provide your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

    @Webbo2306 I’ve sorted it. Didn’t pay for HD as most Freeview channels are already in HD. It’s just the Sky channels that you have to pay for and I don’t really watch them much. Works out I’m paying £15 a month extra on my internet, so not bad. 👍🏻

    So much for the upgrade on signal from shiteview, the BBC channels (only channel we got after 'upgrade') aren't picking up a signal at all. Would be angry but given it's only BBC channels it's actually the small silver lining in the ongoing incompetentcy by #Freeview

  • GlenMitchell1 Glen Mitchell 🐝 🇪🇺🌹🌈 (@GlenMitchell1) reported

    @alastairjam Yeah we’ve just never moved cause Rob had them historically but won’t be staying now. Freeview is killing me.

  • torkingt1 Trevor (@torkingt1) reported

    Watching ‘The Silent Enemy’ on Freeview. Must be the only black and white war film I’ve never seen before.

  • MadenRon Ron Maden (@MadenRon) reported

    @brianwinteruk @Al_Hine @ThatsTVXmas It's neither the TV, Freesat or Freeview it is the broadcaster sending out a widescreen signal: Bit rate mode: Variable Bit rate: 1294 Kbps Maximum bit rate: 15.0 Mbps Width: 544 pixels, Height: 576 pixels Display aspect ratio: 16:9 Frame rate: 25.000 fps Scan type: Interlaced

  • MatthewHarrold Matthew Harrold (@MatthewHarrold) reported

    When we got rid of Sky I got a HDHomerun Freeview Tuner that could stream to Amazon Firesticks to wean co-occupants off live TV. It worked, & when the Pi broke a few weeks ago I didn't fix it. No one has complained. Can anyone think of a compelling reason *not* to sell it?

  • SuperSajuuk Gordon (@SuperSajuuk) reported

    @PhilPhenom Latest tweet would imply their online service is not working this evening, as they only point people to the Red Button [Sky/Freesat 981, Freeview 601] instead of the usual "Red Button and iPlayer".
