  • 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 🙁

    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.

  • ShaneRosser20 Shane Rosser (@ShaneRosser20) reported

    Can you take tiktok off my Freeview TV network because I have never used it @FreeviewTV?

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @zakir___1988 Hi, Zakir. Whether live is available on a catch-up service would be down to the service itself, though generally, the catch-up services on Freeview Play are to be used in conjunction with the standard Freeview service. Fraser

  • ChrisCooper_22 Chris Cooper (@ChrisCooper_22) reported

    I asked my partner to cancel the sky sports package as I use Now TV for it. She infact cancelled the entire Sky package, meaning all we can now watch is the One Show and Dress to Impress 😲, not even Gold TV is covered on freeview :( #SkyTV

  • AndyGraysdouble Robert Martin (@AndyGraysdouble) reported

    @Honeythedog1 A contract is a contract, if they ramp the price up you can presumably repudiate it and go else where, like NOW, or be like me. I‘ll never take a SKY package. Freeview ( aka Cooncil telly +) , Amazon Prime and Netflix might be a decent low cost bet.

  • willmill82 🍢🥙will🥙🍢(@willmill82@mastodonapp.uk) (@willmill82) reported

    @BrokenTV @UKPRES1 @TalkingPicsTV Haha, funny you should say that, I'm unfortunate enough to have terrible Freeview reception and Sky Glass, neither of which will get me Talking Pictures, sadly.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital I personally am happy for an ip future, if and when it finally takes off. But i think the bbc might be too ambitious for 2030. Freeview is a good service where you can get it.

  • JamesWh12650747 Sook ithup (@JamesWh12650747) reported

    @GaryLineker but Lords ladies barons hedge fund managers and far right media the pay for would disagree talk tv GB news.. I'm surprised ofcom has let Ian mosley types into the spot light. they removed topless women from the horrid gutter snipe papers only to have it live on freeview.?

  • ACampbe36885200 A Campbell.Old-Scot 🇧🇻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🇺🇲🇮🇱 (@ACampbe36885200) reported
