    @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 🙁

    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.

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi. I'm in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk and my freeview is pretty unwatchable. I keep retuning but it makes no difference. Earlier I had no ITV which is ridiculous. Can you please help?

    @JoEdwards41 If you have freeview, they're shown on Sky Arts, I thought I'd watched them all but had never seen this one. It's a freaky aul theme innit?

    Apparently not many watched this due to issues. We saw it. For those who have Virgin 360, just speak Hornby Model World into the remote, select it on screen, choose series 2 and click play episode 1. I hear it didn't go out on Freeview for some reason. #Hornby #HornbyAModelWorld

    @UKTVPlayHelp It's not resolved at all. Sharp aquos tv and JVC tv. Tried playing through freeview play and casting via Samsung s22 Ultra. This app is terrible! It happens on no other. Disney plus, Amazon video, Netflix all work fine as do the ones on Freeview play.
