    @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 🙁

    @dilusionalworld @glenpen60 @SkyNewsAust I have never watched it, we use the the station block of so I don't have to deal with tabloid TV BS, the station was a failure on pay-per-view so had to move to Freeview to get anyone to watch the biased BS their shock-jocks waffle on about, watching it can give you brain damage

  • andythelodge andy (@andythelodge) reported from Clifton, England

    @333peterobinson I've had nothing but problems viewing @RacingTV since they made me have @amazon Firestick due to no longer available on freeview

  • Bicycle_Nuts Bicycle Nuts (@Bicycle_Nuts) reported

    @JohnBalley1 Young people don't watch broadcast TV, so it's nothing to do with you getting old. BTW I cancelled my liscence because the freeview signal is so bad. I hardly know anyone who wastes money on a TV liscence these days.

    @andyAVAVsystems Astounded some new TVs still have the slot. Fair enough for sky boxes and such but never seen anyone pay for Freeview channels on a TV

  • MarcAllen81 Marc Allen (@MarcAllen81) reported

    @vistaextra @Callumizatt @virginmedia Definitely a Virgin problem... all channels not just those. I've switched to freeview and it's fine.

  • Kazza6900 Karen 🧙🔮💜🕊 (@Kazza6900) reported

    @LuckyLu31582986 @virginmedia Switched over to freeview and having no problems at all. I was thinking it was @virginmedia problems

  • Stephen_Neal Stephen Neal (@Stephen_Neal) reported

    @nigelwUK @MatthewMarks42 @bobdvb Odd. It must be doing a 5.1->2.0 PCM fold-down rather than a 5.1 PCM output I guess. There is no stereo on Freeview HD when 5.1 is being broadcast. (On satellite there is a parallel stereo audio description feed)

    @KatiKnitt That really sucks. We have the TV license here in the UK, but if you don't actually consume "live TV" (BBC, freeview, live sports, etc.) then you don't actually have to pay for it; in my case, all I use is YT, Twitch & stream subs. Shocking and aggravating that you're forced to!
