    @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 🙁

  • Bermudgirl Marilyn McCubbin (@Bermudgirl) reported from Netley, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Can you help me please. I am now relying on Freeview. My tv has HD but Freeview isn’t. How do I get my Freeview into HD. It’s not a pleasure to watch. Thank you.

    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.

  • Marshall2000_uk Dan (Marshall Bros. Productions) (@Marshall2000_uk) reported

    @skytv why is the Sky Q search so bad. The voice & text search find different content and neither of them seem to be able to find anything on the TV guide that has Christmas in the title. Used to love finding Christmas TV specials on the old Sky Box. Using Freeview box search now

  • Mik_Duffy Mik Duffy (@Mik_Duffy) reported

    @soapachu The fact that they're hogging valuable bandwidth on Freeview will never not infuriate me. In a saner world they'd not exist and Talking Pictures would have the budget and spectrum space to go HD.

  • JohnMcCullough6 John McCullough (@JohnMcCullough6) reported

    @AlexKane221b Anything is better than those awful Christmas films on Freeview.

  • dynotic Sean Thompson (@dynotic) reported

    @NippyByName Be Careful it’s not a crap massive freeview box type of thing that’s totally restrictedwith what you can do.

  • wolvesbradders Phil Bradley (@wolvesbradders) reported

    @WolfWhoWanders Film4 is free to air. So will be on Freeview later. And probs on the C4 streaming service I guess

  • lewstringer Lew Stringer, Cartoonist (@lewstringer) reported

    @DavidinKent @MerielMyers Those papers never seem to go into much detail about the programmes though like the Radio Times does. I'm not sure if they cover all the Freeview channels or radio.

  • tinopener1 tinopener (@tinopener1) reported

    @AyoCaesar Too busy watching GB News (freeview 236). Did you see Ken Livingstone on GB News last week? He reckons we should have stayed in lockdown since March 2020 until we had zero covid, and borrow to support business. You like that, don't you?

  • janner_geek Janner Geek - 3.5% #GTTO #FreePalestine 🇵🇸 🇬🇷 (@janner_geek) reported

    Did anyone else's Freeview box automatically record the "Prime Minister's" address earlier? I didn't ask for that **** to sully my telly box, thanks very much! #BorisMustGo #ToriesOut

  • Marshall2000_uk Dan (Marshall Bros. Productions) (@Marshall2000_uk) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Hi Carol, that’s the issue it finds movies but I’m wanting to find TV content… especially Christmas specials. There are quite a few on as I’ve found them on my freeview box but it doesn’t have all the Sky channels so there will be some I’m missing but no matter which search 1/2

  • Carti_Mandua LadyAnniSpice... #IStandWithIsrael 🔯🕎✡️🇮🇱 (@Carti_Mandua) reported

    @Matronincharge @DominicRaab @thetimes Sorry but thats a terrible thing to say to someone whose family survived the holocaust .... you need to watch the programmes on Freeview and take that back
