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 🙁

🇬🇧 amara 🇬🇧 (@amara5500) reported@Iromg @talkRADIO Congratulations. We switched when LBC parted company with Nigel Farage. Rarely watch tv news these days. Moving to DAB+ not good, only own 1 radio that picks you up. A channel on Freeview might help

SJ Groenewegen BEM MA (Hons) BA (Hons) 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ (@Nyssa1968) reported@willhowells I remember how they f*cked even that up. I missed the TV address because I was watching a freeview channel it wasn’t on & there was nothing to point to a channel it was on. & the text message arrived days late & iirc the link in it was broken. 🏴 imperfect but better.

Ditsy1 (@missTfied66) reported@MNotts19 @thefreepress2 @TheProleStar we only had our licence to watch PMQs...we cant get freeview signal here and stopped virgin tv too pricey and paying for so many free to air channels. After GE i stopped my licence and wrote official complaints. £12 a month better off!!

Ming Ho (@Minghowriter) reported@NOWTV Yes, it's fine if I unplug @NOWTV Smartbox & access Freeview direct thro aerial. Issue is just @LondonLive via your Smartbox.

Fiona K. (@margatesunsets) reported@HabberleySteve @dancludlow @ShirleyMadin1 Andrew Neil is fronting a new news broadcasting service in the New Year. Called GB News, I think! It's going to be on Freeview, which I can't get! I use Freesat.

The Shipley Noise (@shipleynoise) reported@PhilippeAuclair At the very least a rolling Covid public information service should have been setup on Freeview, Digital Satellite and Virgin which would carry information on the rules. All technically possible using existing terrestrial and satellite capacity.

Lesley Helen Mayne (@MayneLesley) reported@evilscootus I love sbs on demand and as I access directly through my smart TV I don't have any problems. I find that if I go through freeview it takes ages and searches are almost impossible.

mattohare (@mattohare) reported@rtenews Too bad we can't get this in the North. Freeview blocks RTE and TG4. Tommy Gorman knows and supports it. He said so in a telephone call.

Vicky 💙 (@deadstar37) reportedI know the news is important. But **** same the bbc have a designated news channel that’s viewable to everyone (?) on freeview. Why does it keep having to be on the main channels when all it is is bad news

Andrew Garratt M0NRD 📻 (@nerdsville) reported@NigelBig @back_the_BBC @bbcemt weather forecast never mentioned the 'East' so assume a **** up somewhere - this just on satellite or affecting freeview too?
