  • 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 🙁

  • Bermudgirl Marilyn McCubbin (@Bermudgirl) reported from Netley, England

  • sashasimic Sasha Simic (@sashasimic) reported

    Watching a jaw-droppingly saccharine krimi on some freeview channel featuring crime-busting nun #SisterBonniface clearing up the phenomenally high murder rates in a twee 50s English village that makes #Midsomer look like 70s New York. Hypnotically horrible.

  • spidermanmsy Francis (@spidermanmsy) reported

    @AdrianEdmondson It's the amount of bloody repeats that gets me...even hours/days rolling films that aren't changed for 2 - 3 weeks 🙄 Even the older films repeated...must be 1k's films that haven't seen daylight gotta be better than current crap! This is of course re freeview tv channels!

  • sedition3 Adrianne Sebastian-Scott (@sedition3) reported

    Freeview not working, some London tube stations shut down.

  • RichardOcelot Richard (@RichardOcelot) reported

    @ceincein Deliberately watching the 10-minute freeview just praying to get caught by their maw. We're not on WhatsApp or anything but her and my auntie used to live together and we sometimes hang out at family things.

  • ValiantMike2 🆅🅰🅻🅸🅰🅽🆃 (@ValiantMike2) reported

    Kids these days are spoilt rotten!!! They will never understand the pain of having to wait till midnight every night for the 10 minute FreeView!!!!

  • SonnerSounds WhatNow (@SonnerSounds) reported

    The @RadioTimes website used to be great, now it's terrible. Used to be able to hover over a programme and get a summary, now have to click through. Doesn't remember if you are Freeview or whatever.

  • Dpoet58 Don (@Dpoet58) reported

    @FreeviewTV CA14 Workington, no freeview signal on both receivers. I visually checked my aerial, it's still pointing the same way as all the others. All my neighbours are at work so can't check with them.

  • sedition3 Adrianne Sebastian-Scott (@sedition3) reported

    @LemSip27 ITV is down. Freeview has a written announcement "Service is not running" for over an hour.

    @pde62 @Bazza315 @AvonandsomerRob "I think charities should have the power to take away people's TV packages on pain of starvation, while the government - instead of them proper support - installs Freeview. Because my brain is mush and assume they don't have this already, but I want to punish the poor further"
