    @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 🙁

  • thedxmo damo 🎃 (@thedxmo) reported from Bognor Regis, England

    @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

    @Blodeuweddmoon I'm truly not a #defundbbc type but one of their arguments is the harassment by TV license officers when told no TV etc. Now people lie, so appreciate they have to ask. But our region has no FREEVIEW signal hasn't since the 11th August so they should take that into account too

  • LMac1970 Mr Lawrence 😷 (@LMac1970) reported

    @KellyQuilt If really battening down, consider ditching any streaming or satellite commitments (FreeSat is good if you have a dish, FreeView if not). Moving to an electric car (or if unfeasible a certain vintage of Citroen C1, Toyota Aygo or Peugeot 106) will save you on fuel and road tax.

    @a516digital Will this incident have resulted in lower Freeview signal strength? (Getting almost no signal from Wenvoe)

  • jaymirro Jay (@jaymirro) reported

    Hmm, mobile network, WiFi and freeview all playing up today!! Not sure if this tweet will post. 👀 Anybody else experiencing tech issues?

  • rivier Julie Hull (@rivier) reported

    Looks like Chanbel 4 on Freeview has just gone tits-up AGAIN. Damn it, I’ll have to rejoin Virgin at this rate!

    Freeview ooo??? ****

  • JAM_WAH Jamie Roberts (@JAM_WAH) reported

    @jamiesmart That's maybe more unsettling than a ghost! About 10 years ago I would wake up every night at exactly 3am without fail. 3am being the devil's hour or something. Freaked me out after a month or so. Turned out the Freeview box updated and made a noise.

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi I wonder if you could explain why 1 Freeview TV is working on one side of my room, But Another Freeview TV is not working on the other side, I am having to use Virgin on HDMI on that TV is that due to the faults your end? Thanks Keith

    @LynneKerrUK Freeview is a through aerial service and needs an aerial to view. If you wish to use players these can be accessed using the internet. I'm not aware of any Freeview boxes that can take a SIM card but a hotspot may work. Please check manufacturers details for more information.
