    @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.

    @ScotlandNT **** off indefinitely until these are regularly on freeview.

  • Julianlzb87 Julian Stephenson (@Julianlzb87) reported

    @ushasundaram @zombie_nun Don't stop watching just them. Never watch anything on the first page of the Freeview guide. It's a minor hassle but skipping down to The Smithsonian of PSB is worth it.

  • LouiseRawAuthor Dr Louise Raw (@LouiseRawAuthor) reported

    Part 2 of #TheLabourFiles now! Freeview 235 Al Jazeera. It’s painful watching footage of @jeremycorbyn being bullied & mobbed again. But @andrewfeinstein is great, condemning REAL,vile antisemitism & showing the dishonesty of labelling mere support for Palestinians as that.

  • dvjj Di D (@dvjj) reported

    @virginmedia Area 21 down all day only to be told 45 minutes before it was due back on that its going to be 11:55 which is 4 more hours... recordings not recording and naff all on freeview grrrrrr

  • linktonian Iain Mackinnon (@linktonian) reported

    @noiseresearch My Dad used to call TV "chewing gum for the brain" I am watching less and less of it these days and have cut my Sky subscription down to the bare bones ( we get a very limited Freeview service of a handful of channels and there are signal issues in our area)

  • eazzie79 𝕴𝖆𝖎𝖓 𝕾𝖒𝖎𝖙𝖍 (@eazzie79) reported

    @CBS_Reality are there currently issues with reality and reality xtra on freeview? Both channels have frozen

  • Colin08302719 Colin (@Colin08302719) reported

    @5_News In Londond on freeview channel 105 the lip sink is so bad its not watchable. On freeview ch5 it's bad but you can just about watch.

  • SPQPR1 Steve patrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@SPQPR1) reported

    @Miles28x No. Its a **** way to record. Pay a little extra for freeview box and it's like recording on sky box.

  • phil_creighton Phil Creighton (@phil_creighton) reported

    @Page_888 @russty_russ When there's a cheaper alterative for a quarter of the price, and there's a cost of living crisis - it's an easy cutback. If I was Radio Times King, I'd make print edition Freeview channels only and try and get price down to £2. Would mean a lot of changes to get there.

  • spaceacepupper weird boi // #TeamCheddar (@spaceacepupper) reported

    @virginmedia no error codes. like I said our actual virgin box is fine, but any Freeview box or TV is either saying no signal or simply glitching both visually and audibly. we believe it's an aerial issue perhaps and we know it happened last Monday because that's when shows stopped recording.
