    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.

  • JohnJpsk john knights (@JohnJpsk) reported from Eastleigh, England

    Shit on TV tonight.... But this Freeview 231 takes the biscuit...

  • RoboJ1M RoboJ1M (@RoboJ1M) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @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 🙁

  • KateADale 🏳️‍🌈 Kate A Dale Archivist🤍 (@KateADale) reported

    @CLC_1000 @NOWMusic Because things are never on Freeview, my theory is they are trying to faze it out and trying to get everyone to switch to Sky and Virgin and stuff to get extra money

  • backpackeneur Thomas Smith 💛💙 (@backpackeneur) reported

    Can someone explain why the BBC are showing both matches on channels available in HD via Freeview (good thing) but @ITV have shoved one of the matches to ITV4 which doesn’t have a HD version on Freeview (bad thing)?

  • taergsinaimad Damian (@taergsinaimad) reported

    Itv4 is absolutely horrible in standard definition 🤮 it's 2022, why aren't you broadcasting in hd on Freeview @itv?

  • zombiestyled TheGreatCordwainer (@zombiestyled) reported

    @TinnerSmith @itvfootball Yes. Bizarre scheduling for these final round games I've found. HD ITV2,3 and 4 has made its way to Freesat but still SD on Freeview. Poor

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @ZillionaireArt @freesat_tv It is just Freeview and online for now. We are always looking at updating and growing the service and will continue to do so whenever possible.

  • Exa_talks Paul (@Exa_talks) reported

    @amazonianwolf @SkyHelpTeam @SkySportsF1 Exactly I watch f1 and that's about it, occasionally rugby but 90% are on Freeview these days. I basically pay to watch f1 and that's it, while my friends across the pond watch in 4k with multiple views telemetry etc all for a few quid a month Vs our stupid numbers

  • tvfanatics22 TVFanatics (TVF) (@tvfanatics22) reported

    Main server restart due to everyone having a melt down over a freeview channel on such a service. Sorry in advanced... but still 3-0 🙌🏻

  • adthedoor Adam Hammond (@adthedoor) reported

    @BullAntics Nope. And reception is so poor here that we only get about 14 channels on Freeview.

  • TheAwkwardGuy__ The Awkward Guy (@TheAwkwardGuy__) reported

    Anon: I'm sorry, mum and dad. The shelf in the living room didn't fall down because of dad's shoddy work or mum putting too many figurines on it. I hated them watching me while I was trying to enjoy the 10 minutes freeview so I pulled the shelf down. Sorry about the 20 year …

  • KieronPearce Kieron (@KieronPearce) reported

    @stephen_latham @itvfootball Itv4 HD on Virgin is only on highest TV tier only which we don't have. Freeview 26 is standard def itv4 which looks like **** on a 4k TV. (I think it's 576p resolution)
