    @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.

  • Bermudgirl Marilyn McCubbin (@Bermudgirl) reported from Netley, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Can you help me please. I am now relying on Freeview. My tv has HD but Freeview isn’t. How do I get my Freeview into HD. It’s not a pleasure to watch. Thank you.

    @Lewis_Bickley I remember when it was mentioned in the Eurosport deal that highlights would be available on Quest on Freeview, which in theory should raise the profile by allowing more people to see it. Never heard it mentioned since.

  • Dimpconvery Dimps (@Dimpconvery) reported

    @leefer3 I don’t have any of the channels you pay for, but for the last few weeks I discovered on Freeview no 50 there is a Christmas movies Channel . I watched a couple but they were pretty terrible movies.

  • fincardy fin (@fincardy) reported

    Still not sure why on UK freeview you’re never more than 20 minutes away from a programme about Hitler.

  • glenistarr Glenn🌛🐎⚽🎾⛳📺🏏🎯🌞 (@glenistarr) reported from Eastbourne, England

    Anyone watching the programme about #Periods at 9pm ewwww !! So crap on TV tonight, I mean for #Freeview that is... probably #Blaze for me 👽🛸

  • BARN3YGUMBL3 Gumbo (@BARN3YGUMBL3) reported

    @twodoorgeorge @SkyNews Are actually saying we're not being forced to pay this? If you have sky, virgin, bt, freeview or freesat you are forced to pay it. **** labour I hope they are never elected.

  • mellonfactory Rob Fawcett (@mellonfactory) reported

    @Frasier67Blank @mat8iou @AvaSantina I'd have guessed you could require an encryption key to demux it, but never dug that deep! My only geeky tech involvement was due to national radio controllers complaining about the Freeview graphic colour palette because it wasn’t absolutely compliant with their branding 🙄

    @Ofcom @FreeviewCorp What did Nadine Dorries do SFAdams all she did was ridicule the BBC which is just as bad as Freeview.
