    @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 🙁

  • sadforsadboys castillo bIm | FAST TIMES 🇮🇪 (@sadforsadboys) reported

    @beth__moreton In saying that, my area doesn't have CITV (or the mux it broadcasts on) on Freeview as it's a relay. So I've never been able to access it via Freeview (but it can be on Freesat which is more of an expense to set up...)

  • Hausofgoochi1 Goo 🦠 (@Hausofgoochi1) reported

    @favesass They're forcing them onto the internet, this is insane. We could only have Freeview growing up since we barely had internet access. This is such a ****** thing to do to poor and low income families. Watching CBBC and CITV was literally one of the only things we were able to do.

  • TalkTV TalkTV (@TalkTV) reported

    Watch Vanessa on Sky 522, Virgin 606 and Freeview 237 from 4pm-7pm: 🔸 Is Gary Lineker damaging the BBC? 🔸 Police Federations asks for 17% pay rise for officers. 🔸 Hancock was told to turn down China Covid lab leak claims.

  • WeHo_1985 Dennis (@WeHo_1985) reported

    @B2theRich It was dreadful. Three out of five is extremely generous. It's the type of terrible b-movie you see on a random Freeview channel at 2pm in the afternoon.

  • CliveRoper Clive Roper (@CliveRoper) reported

    @TalkTV Why is the picture quality on Freeview so poor compared to GB News or even online?

  • davidchscott David C Scott 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 🇪🇺 🔸🏛⚽️ (@davidchscott) reported

    @jemmaforte No worries @JuliaHB1 is a champion of preventing cancel culture. She'll campaign for it to be shown on freeview TV.

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie (@Brekkietweets) reported

    @Broadcastnow Poor move @ITV @ITVX - the channel still rates relatively healthily and in Freeview homes especially is serving an audience who may not have access to reliable online streaming (not that ITVX is a reliable online streamer!)

  • mangh_oe Sophie (@mangh_oe) reported

    @jasebyjason I thought this ! There’s probably not enough kids watching the tv now so they’re not bothering anymore but my dad never got wifi till I was 16 because waste of money so I feel bad for the families that rely on freeview tv 😭

  • GavNix Gavin Nixon☘️🌈 🇺🇦✊🏼#FBPPR #FBPE #SlavaUkraini (@GavNix) reported

    @KevinPMeagher @BriW74 It's 'The Eagle Has Landed', on BBC Four, right now, and i-Player for a few weeks' - complete with Donald Sutherland and ludicrously bad 'Irish' accent. No sign of 'Where Eagles' Dare' on any of the Freeview channels for the next while.

    @ITV Help!!. I am three quarters of the way through THe Bay when ITV X went back to the home screen. I cant see the end of the episode without watching it all again. I'm on ordinary freeview,but on a pc as we have a bad reception. This happens every time I watch ITV X now.
