    @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.

  • nisbetbryce Nisbet Bryce (@nisbetbryce) reported

    @BootstrapCook Sometimes. The cabling should work fine so long as the box and your TV have an HDMI port. Problem might be whether the Freeview signal in your area is strong enough to be picked up by a small aerial.

  • Supervisor1_9_4 Codename: Gary 7 (@Supervisor1_9_4) reported

    @TalkTV Alternatively you could not retune Freeview and not watch this ****.

  • DavePennington Dave Pennington (@DavePennington) reported

    @MartinSLewis My 55" OLED TV costs 57p a year on Standby. Freeview box, 40p. Damn those pesky EU efficiency rules, saving me money! 🤔🇪🇺

  • stanfordswhines Paul Stanford (@stanfordswhines) reported

    @piersmorgan yes I'm rather unimportant, however I was excited by the announcement of your new channel on freeview 237. Sadly, the picture quality seems poor and I was further saddened by your introduction, which was somewhat

  • brundellfilimou Mike Benjamin (@brundellfilimou) reported

    @LeapfrogMark @TalkTV @iancollinsuk Most of the BBC is not suitable for a subs service, for example, no UK news programme is subscription only (even sky is on freeview) and technically it is not possible for radio stations. An advertising and sponsorship is more realistic but other media outlets will not like it

  • Vash198973 Vash (@Vash198973) reported

    Double standards in this house, she's sat with candles lit, drinking gin, watching basically porn dressed up as a love story on Netflix, never said a word. I got caught watching the television X Freeview years back and she called me a fat ***** #365daysThisDay

  • SimonWood2k5 Simon Wood (@SimonWood2k5) reported

    @PhilJonesy3 @MetroUK It's SD on Freeview which doesn't help but not at all good even for SD.

  • viridispicus _insert witticism here_ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@viridispicus) reported

    @BootstrapCook It depends on signal strength, direction to transmitter, and what's in the way. Digital signals (such as Freeview) are broadly binary: the TV understands enough, you have a picture - or nothing. Amplifiers exist, but they amplify noise as much as signal, so beware promises.

  • Brazenvamp Hannah #reclaimthestreets (@Brazenvamp) reported

    @BootstrapCook @_SarahAlice_ Can you drill through the floor and feed it through? Anyway I used to use a smart TV to watch freeview with no issues x

  • goldwinggl1500 Allan Hawxby (@goldwinggl1500) reported

    @TalkTV tried watching on Freeview. Picture quality is terrible not clear at all. Sound quality is so bad and distorted. Can't watch it it's that bad.
