    @dancludlow Never thought of it even. Not that worried, there'll be a solution. It supposedly has Freesat & Freeview on it. Will have to try to get D's son out here, if he ever stays still, he'll know! TV is 2020 model, hardly top of the range but good enough for me.

    On this day in 2012, S4C's original HD service "Clirlun" closed down. Its Freeview slot was taken over by C4 HD. In 2016, S4C relaunched its HD outlet, this time simply known as 'S4C HD'. The BBC Three consultation revealed S4C HD is earmarked for a return to Freeview soon.

    Not receiving a service who would. A plan that will back fire as I will film the "inspector" when he comes and he demonstrate how&why I should have a licence, good luck with that... Seriously getting pissed off with #BBC @tvlicensing no signal no money from me sort Freeview out

    @_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

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    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

    @Redpeter99 Weeks? We've been without anywhere near a reliable freeview signal for months!!!

  • RichieUK_TTV RichieUK (@RichieUK_TTV) reported

    @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

  • TomMaxwell11 Tom Maxwell (@TomMaxwell11) reported

    @AnnalisaB Well, immerse yourself in Channel 51 on Freeview, Annalisa, which calls itself ‘Great Movies Christmas’ [sic] and has been showing round-the-clock crap Christmas movies for some weeks now!🦃

    @virginmedia Tv and internet down in #Nottingham.. Their website is also down and not able to contact them by phone.. Thank goodness for #Freeview!

    @MisterVivian @cleanfeed_ttvr ...a pay TV service on UK DTT called Picnic. The idea was to use MPEG4 to fit in four channels in the space occupied by three MPEG2 channels. [MPEG2 in combination with DVB-T is still the standard used for most Freeview channels]
