  • chris_sucksmith Chris (@chris_sucksmith) reported from East Cowes, England

    One bad thing about #Freeview TV is all the begging adverts. Ignore em all, ain't contributing towards inflated staff salaries. Plenty of local little charities.

  • 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 🙁

  • IanOnFilm 🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈📽💿Ian Smith (@IanOnFilm) reported

    TV signal vanished last night again and still isn’t back. One week after fire was put out Freeview say 2+ more weeks to fix. It is staggering to me that the biggest transmission aerial in the country could have been decimated so quickly and with no real contingency plans.

  • joejglenton The Great Keithulhu (@joejglenton) reported

    'Serving the colours' chat belongs with guff about the 'Queen's shilling': consigned to **** period drama. Meaningless waffle. If you talked like that in the Mob, you'd be laughed at. The market for that tripe is Walter Mitty civilians with a cockstand for WW2 docs on Freeview.

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

    @Adam_Peterkin They use the 'Freesat home transponder', sitting alongside the signal that delivers the Freesat EPG. Unlike the current TV back-up for Freeview multiplex PSB2 via satellite, the DAB multiplexes are not broadcast in a format that your average satellite receiver can handle.

  • Renbymon Zen-Aku ⬛🐺🗡 (@Renbymon) reported

    Apparently it's not just ITV4, most of the Freeview movie channels are "interrupt a movie with 5 minutes of celebrity/sports news".

  • PurpleDon1973 MadameCholet (@PurpleDon1973) reported from Ilford, England

    Some days I really wish I'd kept all those calls to @JimDavisOnAir on my freeview box. I've been sent way back in time with a USB memory stick, a few years back with some calls. Damn, I really miss those days with the song choice and #JimDavisLive And it was just brilliant radio

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @StevenNT @a516digital Just got it confirmed by my neighbour, he was told way back in February, hes still fuming mad about it, because he was canvassed away from sky by some **** who knew nothing about the freeview problems we have.

  • GeoffBySea Geoff-by-Sea (@GeoffBySea) reported

    I so begrudge paying £13 a month for a TV Licence now but, if you cancel it, it’s not just the BBC you have to stop watching. Basically, we’re all paying a TV subscription monthly whether we want to or not. So it’s not actually Freeview now is it!

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @pandorasrockbox Hi, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview reception. So we can look into this further can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • StevenNT Steven Jones (@StevenNT) reported

    @Mark56623345 @a516digital for me the communal dish is 90cm and on the roof as part of the Communal Integrated Reception system so exposed to the rain when it really does throw it down and lose sat reception for a short period so I fall back to Freeview option for a bit on that one

  • Peter90433306 Peter (@Peter90433306) reported

    Got up this morning switched on sky news as usual, as usual no new news, checked Google no new news, just reporters trawling any old breaking news to carry on a story to justify their jobs, nothing to watch, Freeview nothing to watch only people's opinions, we pay for this crap.
