    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.

  • 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 🙁

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @andyfidler66 Hi Andy, I am so very sorry you cannot access Channel 51. The number of channels available on Freeview depends on where you get your television signal from. Great Christmas Movies broadcast on a Local MUX (frequency) which unfortunately is not available from all transmitters.

  • GingerM1ke Michael Jones (@GingerM1ke) reported from Colwyn Bay, Wales

    @Brit9er @lesber12 @GBullstein No, but if you scroll down the channels on Sky or Freeview you will notice that there are multiple BBC 1's for each English region 🤷
