  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life 🐀 (@FactsStomp) reported

    @cleanfeed_ttvr @Ofcom I genuinely don't understand why Freeview seems to be resolutely stuck with DVBT1. Surely at this point the vast majority of STBs and TVs support DVBT2? We just need 1 mux with channels 1-5 & filler for SD only sets & finally let Freeview have a half decent picture quality again

    Tonight and tomorrow's warning of freezing fog across parts of England a reminder that in some areas, those weather conditions could cause terrestrial (Freeview) TV and FM/DAB radio interference. Do not adjust your set, or retune if your signal glitches this weekend!

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    @Jan_208 It is a minor problem that occurs once in a while when Freeview change the channel map too frequently. Part of it is broadcasters who fail to update their channel tags.

  • 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

    @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
