    @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.

  • TracemjSmith TMJS ✊🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 (@TracemjSmith) reported

    @Jakbar1 @JolyonMaugham It's a freeview channel. I have a sky box but not sky channels and find it by going to news channels then scrolling down.

  • garethlkr Gareth Smith (@garethlkr) reported

    @darrengrimes_ Just a reminder. The License fee is a tax on watching live TV. You pay the tax is you watch most live tv on most platforms (sky, Virgin, Freeview etc.) The tax is used to help pay for the BBC tv, web, radio but it's nothing to do with specifically watching the BBC

    @SkySportsNews all the best Jeff not the show it was, the recent format is dull and sky removing it off freeview was a epic fail

    Watching “Super Cyclone” (2012) on Great Movies Action (Freeview 41). Ridiculously cheap budget, low quality CGI special effects, amateur actors reciting scripted lines, narrow angle close-up shots (to disguise cheap small sets), corny dialogue. It’s so bad that it’s almost funny

  • CallyJones47 Carolyn Jones (@CallyJones47) reported

    @BritishTelecom - BT engineer due between 8-10 but no sign of him?? We have no access to BT Sport & quality of TV with the new freeview box is awful so we want a refund on our subscription.

  • JohnT1062 John Turner (@JohnT1062) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice The freeview signal in my area is very poor today and has been for the last 24hrs. Is there aprobelm with the local transmitter? My Postcode NR31 9

  • MakreMeow Sahina (@MakreMeow) reported

    Well that sucks.I ain’t buying a freeview box set for bloody had channels

  • JohnLoony John Cartwright (@JohnLoony) reported

    Watching #TheThing (1982) on the Horror channel (Freeview 68). No matter how many dozens of times I watch this movie, the stupid arrogant American scientists never seem to learn to just kill the dog in the first place. You would have thought they might have learnt by now.

    Go to put the tv on for some background noise and uuuuh the whole of freeview is down apparently. The TV literally doesn't know if there are channels even
