    @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 🙁

    @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

  • CaleMakarSZN Cale Makar Stan (@CaleMakarSZN) reported

    @TheAHL Ahl tv is not working. It is asking for a subscription to view the game but it is part of the freeview. Please help ASAP

  • BinteKhalid82 ****-e-Khalid (@BinteKhalid82) reported

    @MahamOfficial_2 Is PTV Sports broadcasting in UK? We don't want to buy Sky sports subscriptions so plz help us to find any freeview channel to watch #T20WorldCup2021.

  • richhol99 Richard Hollingworth (@richhol99) reported

    @Freeview Advice 22 channels tuned (no HD) at a very low signal level (~10% indicated on TV), some break up in Northallerton. Surely it should be better than this at only 12miles to Bilsdale? The system is not letting me DM you with postcode and number.

  • 80percentvegan Proper Forte (@80percentvegan) reported

    I don’t have Netflix so I watched a Poundland version of a series on some **** on some freeview channel. Quid Game was a bit **** tbh

  • stephengetty6 stephen getty (@stephengetty6) reported

    Watching Porridge on Freeview classic 70’s BBC comedy brilliantly funny and clever comedy . Such a difference to all the dumbed down American television served up on Netflix these days

  • shorthandwitch Gill Wray (@shorthandwitch) reported

    @LLLioness1973 Freeview has been awful for quite a few weeks now. I never know if I'm going to be able to watch my favourite programmes or whether they'll be too pixilated

  • Deborahj_Powell Deborah Powell (@Deborahj_Powell) reported
