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.

@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 🙁

@Ihatethisdumbf1 @RowdyRe80996794 @colinbrazierGBN BBC 1, 2, 3 Parliament, News, they still have both the ones you mentioned - they dropping because they are underfunded They built the freeview network - no business would have done that as it a public service

We have the BBC nations feed (high symbol rate) on here. It's obvious they've got their best (4k) cameras out today. Trouble is, it's gonna make every other programme tonight look like it was filmed on a 1970s 405 line plumbicon camera... Freeview will be like legovision.

@RowdyRe80996794 @colinbrazierGBN Yeah - but only truly stupid UK people think it's just telly. BBC is state owned, so it's funded by a fee or a tax They have 6 channels of TV, countless radio stations inc Radio 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 - plus they run the the Freeview network that digital TV for aerials

@AndrewM2p4c @andymcgowan001 They have to pay to broadcast via transmitters. They pay for the BBC national dab multiplex. I can't imagine subtracting one station from it saves much. They have to pay freeview, sky and freesat too. Personally I never listen to it through my tv.

@sophieelsworth @australian @aus_media No one under 35 watches Freeview TV It's garbage and cringy program after program. Over saturated with ridiculously edited and scripted "reality tv" and the news has become biasedly partisan, misinforming, innacurrate and disingenuous. Freeview basically strangled itself

@Polly_Phluid @RowdyRe80996794 @colinbrazierGBN Lying again? I don't know why you bother when a 5 second Google search proves you are lying. The freeview network was built off the ITVdigital platform which was built by, you guessed it, ITV. The BBC didn't do squat.
