    @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 🙁

    I will be talking to @RobbieRinder today at 6:15pm on @TalkTV about CBT-I and the app Sleepio recommended by NICE to be used instead of sleeping pills to treat insomnia. Viewers can watch via 📺 Freeview 237, Sky 526, Virgin 627 #CBT

    @AuthorSJB @SophyRidgeSky @nadhimzahawi Freeview- damn autocorrect

  • daryl_millar Daryl Millar (@daryl_millar) reported

    While channel-hopping, I just caught a segment on a "news" channel in which some wazzock was joking that his gorilla mask was non-binary. That probably narrows it down to 2 Freeview channels in the UK.

  • ErinMiddlemass2 Erin Middlemass (@ErinMiddlemass2) reported

    …as well as numerous add on packages and this money is being completely wasted. The customer service is absolutely shocking. I have relied on now tv rather than freeview etc for television in my home and am now left with nothing even though I’m paying upwards of £25 a month.

    Just flailed past @GBNEWS on Freeview; a year on and their studio pictures still look awful and the audio sync is wrong. Did every broadcast engineer refuse the job offer?!

  • FoxfordMr Mr. Eric Foxford (@FoxfordMr) reported

    @MrJohnNicolson @terrychristian @Channel4 She’s lying. Selling off Channel 4 is prologue to selling off the BBC. Only rich Tories will benefit from it. The poor will have to pay more for subscription TV than they ever would for the BBC, ITV C4, C5 and Freeview. All that for around 47p a day licence fee.

  • Christo25577660 Christopher Murfin (@Christo25577660) reported

    I don't know what happened last night but at about 9 O'clock last night, I completely lost all of my Digital Freeview TV channels. All I could access was all of the TV channels via Samsung TV Plus, and that was it. Whether it was a power outage at the transmitter, I don't know.

  • LwtEmmaBird Sarah Harbour (@LwtEmmaBird) reported

    Hi @rmc47 - @melharbour suggested you might be able to help. Any ideas why a Freeview TV signal might disappear in the middle of the day? We've retuned, but it works fine until about 8.30am, then pixelated before finally displaying 'no signal' - so can't believe it's the tuning
