    @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.

    @BBCNews just had a message on freeview that hd is going - this is a huge mistake, I’ve already stopped watching bbc breakfast because the cut to local news gives that tedious message, also never watch local news as it’s ld, itv is all in hd so they’ve won

    @RegularTweetsUK Also the HD versions of BBC News and Discovery Quest airing on freeview are shutting down next week due com7 band phasing out for 5g spectrum

    @CatwomanNation I’ll give it a whirl but I’ve never done one of these tier things before so I’ve a feeling it will be like watching your granny trying to work the Freeview box…

    Is the service down webpage states no problems with freeview today. Odd as my signal still has not returned. If this continues for one more week I will dispense with my TV licence and watch DVD's and videos and use my laptop.
