    @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 🙁

    @Artemisfornow They should make 'over-air' broadcast (Freeview etc) free and Charge for iPlayer access which is already behind a paywall of sorts because it asks for your TV License number already Over air programmes have poor Image Quality as it is; why pay for SD quality?

  • MapleFiltered Gruffalo Trace (@MapleFiltered) reported

    Can someone tell me how the hell a system as poor as @Freely_tv has been brought to market. Simply appalling designed, slow, clunky, user unfriendly and a MASSIVE downgrade on Freeview Play or You view. Deliberately avoiding selling TVs with your system now. Absolute nonsense

  • ihatemogs Micheál O'Fiach (@ihatemogs) reported

    @crusaders1898 @andrewhdonohoe @Saraita101 No because it's called Saorview here, uses slightly different technology and doesn't carry BBC channels, only RTÉ and a few other domestic channels. Freeview, the UK system, is available in border areas where the signal leaks over the border, impossible to change.

    I hear so many people wanting a blue tick. I had one in 2002, it wasnt fun. Blue tick is of course a prolonged twitch you get after finishing yourself during the 10 minute freeview in a computer seat. Never going back there again.

  • skipaiotter Skipai Otter @cohost/skipaiotter (@skipaiotter) reported

    @bad1ands True but I don't think the UK Gov would want to do that as it's too costly. What if mobile network went down? There has to be other ways here. Even if there's emergency broadcast masts put up that transmit on everything. VHF, UHF, Freeview, Freesat, Sky, Cable, etc.

    @snailmancer Hi, there. Sorry to hear that you're having problems receiving Freeview but if you can DM us your postcode along with house number or name, we can check predicted coverage in the area and advise from there. Fraser

    Come on Freeview, sort out the signal in Hastings!!! @freeview

  • FreddySky Freddy C. 🌈 🇮🇹🇪🇸🇵🇹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇩🇰🇫🇷 (@FreddySky) reported

    @jpxan71 @MasterChefUK Food network, on Sky it’s on 140, on freeview is channel 43.

  • OooAuto Gita Renik (@OooAuto) reported

    @itvcorrie disappointed that I'll never be able to catch up at the weekend... OAP with freeview not considered worthy 🥴

  • CraigMason Craig Mason (@CraigMason) reported

    I love all the drama from people complaining about the emergency alerts... "I DIDN'T CONSENT!". It's a broadcast. The gvt doesn't have access to your phone via emergency alerts. It's as intrusive as the BBC Freeview signal. Keep the alerts on. They could save your life.
