    @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 🙁

    @bbcpointswest Why no reports on Freeview transition problems in the region. We would like to know about massive outages in last 24 hours

  • DOPreston Duke of Preston🇬🇧🇲🇹🇸🇲🇨🇭🇷🇴🇮🇪 (@DOPreston) reported

    @derrickca @virginmedia I don’t have either. I Just have the streaming sites and Freeview and Broadband provided separately. They don’t care about your custom. If they did they’d resolve the problems that have been ongoing for 15 years!

  • Kewjonrichard wife seeker (@Kewjonrichard) reported

    @ITSBIGTONE @FreeviewTV On other social media freeview is now being called crap tv. I'd have to say the service is disgusting and a note to advertiser using freeview platform. Waste of cash thousands are being denied a signal

  • AmyTeamLH Amy (@AmyTeamLH) reported

    Thankfully I have access to the Sky Sports Action and Mix channels but this sucks for people who want to watch it on Freeview. Oh well.

  • NOWHelpTeam NOW Help Team (@NOWHelpTeam) reported

    @petew2804 Hi Peter, Whether you've got a Smart Box with Freeview or a Smart Box with 4K and Voice Search, you'll find the reset button on the bottom of your Box. For a factory reset, hold the button down for about 6 seconds.

  • RosalynConnors Ros Connors (@RosalynConnors) reported

    Oh not again! Brighton Festival on @bbcsoutheast Yesterday it was Redhill in the Home Counties @BBCLondonNews area. For God's Sake please let's be rid of this so-called "South-East" news service from the Bluebell Hill Freeview mast with its constant references to Brighton.

  • Kewjonrichard wife seeker (@Kewjonrichard) reported

    @FreeviewTV @JimIrvineUK Following is email to sky news:Like hundreds in Swindon and others in UK at 2130 we lost freeview signal  we just are left with screen saying no signal there is no news or update with freeview  I attempted to retune and programs break up till you get no signal messege.

  • Kewjonrichard wife seeker (@Kewjonrichard) reported

    @NikkiDiddams @FreeviewTV Freeview aka crap tv have never been able to supply a decent signal we lost any signal last night from 9pm till 1am I'm actually emailing advertisers to let them know if they had advertised that time period Swindon sn3 and thousands in UK could not see them to get refunds

  • LukaMoric14 Brian (@LukaMoric14) reported

    @shattenstone Totally agree Lots of great arts programmes over the years Will they find a home elsewhere or quietly disappear? Has the BBC seen Sky Arts channel on Freeview and thought, that's it, we don't need to bother anymore? Is it the new DG plan to dumb down?

  • peaceprone ~🔱∆t //ØçÑ🕊️ (@peaceprone) reported

    @FrancesCook Forcing the culture clash will be entertaining in itself. I think the issue is that tv is a dead dog, and video content providers can focus on just that, producing content. But free www, not freeview
