    @keithbelfast @rte It never has been before and they stream it internationally so I think you'll be ok. Stream sometimes struggles so Sky/Freeview would be best...

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie (@Brekkietweets) reported

    Obviously today they'd be issues anyway but generally speaking finding Freeview HD muxes far less resiliant than they used to be. As much as I think a switch to an HD/T2 only platform is long overdue I guess there are advantages to having the SD backup for the main chanenls.

    @channel5_tv 7 mins before the end of the Great escape your channel has gone down on 5+1 on Freeview Very disappointed

  • neill_mckeown Neill McKeown (@neill_mckeown) reported

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @smurph25 @cleanfeed_ttvr Until earlier on, the slot was showing a Saorview information video. 544x576 SD, same resolution as Sky News on Freeview.
