    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.

    @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 🙁

    @WeAreSTV Can someone advise me how I can create a STV freeview account. The website only seems to allow account holders to login but not register.

    @jameswaters Hi James, I am so very sorry to learn your elderly neighbour is experiencing issues with their Freeview reception.

  • damo_war damo_war (@damo_war) reported

    @NiceEtoile @RadioTimes It's truly dreadful now. Unusable. The channels don't align with the listings, no way to click out of expanded details, 'internal error' if you select freesat/freeview listings etc. There never was a problem with load times, or 'accidental hover'.

  • LadyLucia05 Lucia (@LadyLucia05) reported

    @MartinSLewis @bbc5live Cut back on everything back to basics, DD are mortgage, CT, water, TV Licence, Internet & phones all on sim only, G&E are pre pay we dont have subs only freeview, we have no debts at all, bought throws to keep warm an will buy HW bottles turn heating & water down few degrees too

  • StevenGillespi4 Steven Gillespie. (@StevenGillespi4) reported

    @GBNEWS Meaning I only have Freeview do have access to BBC but that is what it is spinning, Sky cinematic shots of explosions not bad but repeated endlessly GB News doing a sterling job I have heard discussioms & you have taken polls must say it's good.

  • sedition3 Adrianne Sebastian-Scott (@sedition3) reported

    Freeview not working, some London tube stations shut down.

  • mwoodwriting Matthew Paul Wood (@mwoodwriting) reported from Redcar, England

    There's an important point to be made about internet freedom and search algorithms but I can't be bothered all that so... The internet is like Freeview now. "Do you want this crap thing you didn't ask for on CNN 1, CNN 2, or CNN extra?" 😾

  • S829MLY Asterism MS13 (@S829MLY) reported

    @PurplejelloS @itvnews I was watching terrestrial TV via an aerial on #Freeview before #ThisMorning went off air and the TV signal kept going, I lost all channels so I'm not sure it was down to TV centre....
