    @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

    What’s more “event season” than watching Family Guy on Freeview (because none of the other channels have signal) in a Travelodge…

  • M0YMJ Paul Coppin (@M0YMJ) reported from Worcester Park, England

    Freeview in Kent down at present. Anyone else have the same problem

  • DawsonsLeftPeg Error404 (@DawsonsLeftPeg) reported

    @Elliot_CB @LeeAndersonMP_ No I pay for the things you don’t get with the “free service”. Like the sky compared to freeview. That fact you can’t figure that out shows the level you’re working with. Try harder.

  • TkoCymon Cymon Humphries (@TkoCymon) reported

    @GRALCreates @tvukzone Stop tweeting crap . It has an ofcom license is available on satellite & freeview so that’s your answer.

  • Susie_Soapsuds Susie (Contains Nuts) 🇺🇦 (@Susie_Soapsuds) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I live in North West London but I don’t get London Live on freeview. I’ve tried rescanning my channels but it doesn’t come up. Can you fix this?

  • 1Spookybooks Spookybooks (@1Spookybooks) reported

    @newt_kiters I guess when I get round to actually get sky, I won’t need a dish or a set-top box or anything. I’m assuming it will come straight through the TV through the Internet. The trouble is I don’t watch a lot of TV I’m usually listening to music or out walking. Only Freeview

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    @colin1951uk The investment is partly in hogging empty Freeview channel numbers in the 60s,70s and 80s, so if anyone wants to launch a new service and doesn't want bumping off to the 90s on the channel list, they'll have to strike an EPG trade deal, earning That's TV a nice sum of money.

    @JellyTotPixel @bbcmtd It's the signal not the equipment that's causing the problem even with HD freeview this problem still happens in some areas of the UK, where I live you can't get it with a portable HD receiver, I have to use satellite. as Freeview don't work well.
