    @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.

  • ahappystitcher Sally-Jane 💙💛🌻 (@ahappystitcher) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice @aj2squared @MattCainWriter We have 4 tvs. 2 running off 2 feeds and 2 running off a different feed. All feeds are from the same aerial and the 3 tvs with working Internal freeview boxes are getting zero signal, so think the problem is at or below our aerial.

  • techprocess1 🇬🇧 (@techprocess1) reported

    @extravelservice @SkyUK It’s a sky streaming only service Locked into Sky better off getting a smartTV . Look at BT TV £6 a month for Sky entertainment Netflix and freeview. And record 600 hours all without an aerial or dish.

  • Grinch_Fingers Steph (@Grinch_Fingers) reported

    We didn't know our Samsung TV doesn't have freeview until we moved. Our Virgin can be switched over tomorrow THANK GOD. Its been a true 1st World problem.

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    @danmooreradio @a516digital On Freeview bandwidth is an issue. But also still a fair number of SD only boxes out there.
