    @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 🙁

  • AnitaMcDonald1 2k💙💙 (@AnitaMcDonald1) reported

    @PrincessMS23 We pay more than double that Fiona and it's ridiculous. I want rid of it but we are stuck as can't get freeview due to poor signal. X

  • mkalexroy641 Marc Alec (@mkalexroy641) reported

    @NadineDorries Not much of a restriction, it's still available on Freeview which most people have. Close it down completely.

  • I_VG Dr Isabelle Vella Gregory (@I_VG) reported

    @KabwePRQ Oh good thanks for this. Have had trouble getting AJ on freeview today dunno why. Dodgy aerial I think. BBC had a brief mention. Nothing from sky.

  • uncriticalsimon Simon 🥑🚟🚅😈💉💉💉 (@uncriticalsimon) reported

    @yacc143 I m referring to the 99.4% mentioned in late 1980s IBA Engineering announcements, and the 98.5% mentioned for Freeview. I do not know the *actual* level of Freeview coverage. It is hard for me to get a signal from my proper transmitter, Wenvoe. I can get Mendip off a knife.

  • GrumpyKav Kav (@GrumpyKav) reported

    @FreeviewTV @bbc can you confirm that TVs or devices that have the Freeview logo must give free access via an aerial (signal dependant) to all your listed TV & radio stations, without need for any additional internet connections and if so are there guidelines that can be sent?

  • NormandyOrBust Beniamino (@NormandyOrBust) reported

    @robyoung20 I could never understand why they were ever allowed to waste a full HD channel on Freeview, and as for Alex Salmond and others taking their money, disgusting, I don’t hold the SNP, or others, in any way related to this though. It’s certain individuals that sold their souls.

  • Gozzer66 MrsGoz 💙🇺🇦🌻🌻 (@Gozzer66) reported

    @NadineDorries That’s good news. When will it be taken down from Freeview?

  • letstalkcycling G Hofman (@letstalkcycling) reported
