    @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.

    @SatonmyButt @freesat_tv I pay 2.49 a month to remove ITV adverts. My Tv signal doesn’t work well enough for freeview anymore. It’s well worth it! Plus there is UKTV app with drama yesterday and Dave freeview channels (free but adverts)

    @LauraRebeccaa @tvshows_addict1 @KCoubrough17 I'm watching it all again to get proper sense on seasons I haven't been able to see. Season 16&17 are on Freeview with ads but too many and then season 23 I found on Hulu got rid of that app because it was stupid amounts of ads every 2 seconds

    @Stephen87495131 @SkyNews They will. So pay tv needs to go Nothing wrong with freeview. Don't buy or take contracts out on the dearest ipads. The Government help for utilities should have been means tested and increased. 100% increase is unaffordable. Food prices are rising especially essential foods.

    @Dagenhammer01 @CathyJones65 Lifelong Labour voter - never voting Labour again. If you have the least bit of interest in understanding why then watch the #LabourFiles tonight 9pm freeview ch235 and the final part Monday 9pm. No amount of calling the left "Tories" will make a scrap of difference #NeverStarmer

    @twodoorgeorge @SkyNews Are actually saying we're not being forced to pay this? If you have sky, virgin, bt, freeview or freesat you are forced to pay it. **** labour I hope they are never elected.

    @FrancisAShailes Hi Francis, I am so very sorry Freeview do not currently offer a service for computer or laptops via the web browser. To access content we would recommend you use the broadcasters websites such as BBC iplayer, ITV Hub, All4, MY 5, UKTV Play and Together TV via your PC.

    @Miles28x No. Its a **** way to record. Pay a little extra for freeview box and it's like recording on sky box.

    @FreeviewAdvice I was watching Challenge TV on Thursday evening on my TV with built-in Freeview. When I went to watch the same channel yesterday, a message “service is not running” appeared. Why has it been withdrawn without notice?
