    @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 🙁

    @HorrorCarnival Loved the Addams family as a kid Shame they never show it now on Freeview

  • AndSmelly Smelly Socks and Garden Peas (@AndSmelly) reported

    @sarahMo3W @susankmann @TheDTblogs Having too much choice really is a 1st world problem. Between Netflix, Prime and Disney+ as well as NowTV and all the freeview stuff. I liked having 4 channels to pick from.

  • ianfpickles Frankie Pickles (@ianfpickles) reported

    @virginmedia what’s up with SD channels the quality is terrible .. my freeview SD channels are so much better!!?

  • Carti_Mandua LadyAnniSpice... #IStandWithIsrael 🔯🕎✡️🇮🇱 (@Carti_Mandua) reported

    @vanessaazahar i never watch BBC or ITV and I dont have the patience to watch a film .... on Freeview tho I have been wading my way thru Lovejoy again !

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    The sat backup combines Freeview multiplex BBC-A and BBC-B, without the full selection of BBC English Regions, so relays that fall back on satback may offer 'the wrong local news' until normal service returns. It's also very popular in Spain for reasons I won't go in to here...

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @TherealNihal @hayleycampbell @scottygb Coming soon to Teesside a 5V signal that allows you to actually watch TV via #Freeview, learnt a new phrase today I'm a "Notspot", an area where no signal with temporary measures in place until original mast sorted.....NEW YEAR? WHO KNOWS NOONE SEEMS TO GIVE A........

  • hopeless_punter Dan Chivers (@hopeless_punter) reported

    @wgf1976 @GBNEWS It's not news though. Call it Farage TV and stick it on YouTube for those that want it. No problem with that. Broadcasting as a "news" channel, in the news section of the EPG, using precious Freeview capacity? *That* I don't believe in, no. No right thinking person would.

  • neilmclaughlin2 neil mclaughlin (@neilmclaughlin2) reported

    @MartinSLewis On "freeview" it is the American channels who have the worst record for not providing sub titles

  • AdamW48812662 Adam W (@AdamW48812662) reported

    @Mistertonmick74 @SkyHelpTeam Tv is on the wall so unlikely. Next Sunday Man Utd vs Liverpool. If WiFi goes down don’t think I’d be overly impressed with just freeview channels at £100 a month

  • MsJinnifer JinnynotJenny (@MsJinnifer) reported

    @maryfordneal You don't need a box for Netflix. Freeview connection (via aerial) normally comes set up in the TV. Some TVs do Freesat instead, and they get the signal from a dish. You don't need to subscribe to anything to get Freesat or Freeview. 'Catchup' of main channels free via apps on TV
