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 🙁

"Freeview" now becomes "Everyone Television" Most people will still call it Freeview won't they? And like it or not we will be forced in time to receive TV(and yes radio)via a streaming service. As BT and the G'ment are phasing out landlines.

@Brekkietweets @FreeviewTV ITV2 HD not being on freeview is just damn annoying, having to watch through the HD stream via ITV X is a faff

@Bigpikachu1 @menarepretty @CosmonautMarcus You're legally required to hold a TV license if the house has a TV, I think is what you're thinking. Sky is not TV though, it's a service that has Freeview TV (actual, default TV and channels), as well as 100's more you pay for with whatever deal you signed up to them with.

@IanRedman11 @FreeviewTV Exactly - and it didn't need to be that way - there could have been a plan from the moment the first HD service launched in 2010. Best option now might be a hard switchover (like France did) where Freeview SD basically closes one day and is replaced by a HD equivalent the next.

@IanRedman11 @BBCNews Even when set to london no local news just red screen for 4 mins every 30 mins - its a BBC issue not a settings issue - you watch via Freeview you get local news or via sky you can retune to local news but via app on all hdmi plug in devices no local news

Oh joy. The United game is on ITV4 which means there are two options for those with Freeview. Either watch on ITV4 SD, which has arguably the worst picture quality of any channel, or stream with a major delay on their awful @ITVX app.

@Mark56623345 I hear that down to something like the BBC can't rent out any slots to a 3rd party as part of deal the BBC signed with OFCOM to get a Freeview SD multiplex (Now known as BBC A) back in 2002. But The BBC can rent out slots on BBC B - their HD multiplex.

@adamhale_ @IanRedman11 @FreeviewTV The issue is though that HD space is only limited due to inaction by Freeview. Even with losing that extra capacity to 5G had a long term plan been put in place when COM7/8 were launched we should have a platform now with space for around 30 HD channels and the rest in SD.

@smartin The version of C4 HD on Freesat and Freeview is the London ad region. This means C4 HD isn't eligible to move to 104 until the regional variants of C4 HD are added to Freesat, so it matches the current SD service.
