  • 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 🙁

  • DboxerScfc DBoxer_SCFC (@DboxerScfc) reported

    Just got in from work. Retuned the tv & bingo, Food Network is back on my Freeview, after going missing last week

  • RyanABAOPod Ryan (@RyanABAOPod) reported

    @virginmedia Tried everything and had to watch the first half on a small TV that has freeview in our dining room! Literally rebooted several times and no joy. The internet is down as well and don't have good signal so having to connect via hotspot to tweet. Nightmare.

  • daryl_millar Daryl Millar (@daryl_millar) reported

    @EmmanuelAnyiamO Dreading it. I'm watching this on iPlayer as my Freeview signal keeps going out in high pressure.

  • waltonyeah PW (@waltonyeah) reported

    @SiWalton85 It'd had been dodgy anyway and I just thought it was a case of bad positioning. Brand new aerial etc is only £80 so I'll get them out. We don't have owt but Freeview and smart so worth the outlay

  • julianfells Julian Fells (@julianfells) reported

    @henry_stleger @LGUK @techradar I’l confess U saw this excellent article, but feel it needs a wider audience. Now LG have fixed the issue for 2921 TVs there’s a danger they’ll forget about us (like Netcast). So please keep up the pressure on LG and Freeview to resolve this for 2030 LG TVs. Thanks!

  • loves_rats Vicki McDonald (@loves_rats) reported

    @4Viewers the show was This Way Up on All 4, the advert problem is constant on both my tv and freeview box

  • joeylk71 Joanne Gray (@joeylk71) reported

    @dramachannel Yes, but to no avail. It's the dreadful Freeview/DAB signal in my area. Trying to listen to digital radio is just as frustrating and virtually impossible too.

  • frazerjon fraser (@frazerjon) reported

    Heavy downpour has interrupted my sky signal. Had to go to freeview.

  • DETEPAVIDS0N hayden (@DETEPAVIDS0N) reported

    @PERALTAWRLD bc not everyone has sky, euros n world cup are always on freeview never sky or bt or amazon prime

  • AceMan69905395 A very average ordinary guy (@AceMan69905395) reported

    @BBCSport Sorry BBC but I think your coverage this year has been poor compared with previous years. The red button is a waste of time, what's happened to the 601,2,3&4 streams on Freeview? Not everyone wants to watch on phones or tablets, or has an iPlayer enabled TV or the internet!
