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.

@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 🙁

On 25th September, C4 had to abandon its usual regionalised distribution following the Red Bee Media incident. Since then, on Freeview, services have been running on lower bitrates. On satellite, fixed bitrates have been used. Both contributing to picture issues.

Problems with ITV on Freeview do appear to be linked to the assembling of the D3&4 multiplex.

@Mark56623345 High pressure may also be affecting Freeview reception. To identify if this is the cause: - Check to see if both ITV and Channel 4 have a problem. - If it's just ITV, it's the problem with the Freeview multiplex feed. - If it's both services, it's your reception.

@Scotsterahoy @STVNews Stv don't have the money to cover Annan v Kelty never mind 🏴 games. That is the bottom line. Scotland games on terrestrial tv outside a major game in the later stages of a tournament are over. Not a cheerleader for Sky but they did put the vital Serbia Euro tie on freeview.

@rahim94 I don't know anyone with Netflix, Amazon or any streaming service. They're either unhappy with freeview or slightly happy with freesat and their catchup services!

@dannysavage @yorkshireladtv It's channels that are text services, teletext holidays is one, or use the Internet to show programmes that are not transmitted over the Freeview UHF network.

@RealBlackIrish @uncanted The current ITV issue is likely a consequence of digital terrestrial infrastructure being held together with bubblegum and hope, since it's only effecting Freeview. I don't think there's a huge conspiracy to normalise the loss of Tipping Point repeats for an afternoon.
