  • 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 🙁

  • Bermudgirl Marilyn McCubbin (@Bermudgirl) reported from Netley, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Can you help me please. I am now relying on Freeview. My tv has HD but Freeview isn’t. How do I get my Freeview into HD. It’s not a pleasure to watch. Thank you.

  • beajayemac bruce macfarlane #RejoinEU A49 (@beajayemac) reported

    @RichardPTh @martindvz No not at all. I've just scanned down all the FreeView channels and there were at least two which weren't featuring Nick the Greek.

  • ChrisJA15486090 Chris - Cymry & European! #FBPPR (@ChrisJA15486090) reported

    @SteelDalek1 And then close down BBC4 to stop you watching that instead! Have they forgotten most people have Freeview, Sky or Virgin to find other programmes on???

  • AlistairMay Alistair the Unproductive (@AlistairMay) reported

    @oashton88 @FinishedZine BBC is a subscription service too. But there's a host of other channels on freeview.

  • thedeadpixel66 Thomas (@thedeadpixel66) reported

    @xxxavier_19 @dopexdiamondss @etherealdeen I never had cable or sky as a child so I always thought it came out in 2013 because that’s when I came out on Freeview

  • OmieAKA Omie (@OmieAKA) reported

    @andyjhpool @sha8erpr00f @mandapen Not that I'm a fan of the hyperbolic coverage , but almost everyone has either SKY or Freeview , both of which have HUNDREDS of other channels available. But now I can't get grandad off babe station. Damn you BBC !

  • Porky12280110 Porky (@Porky12280110) reported

    @JamesMills1984 @DuncanWeldon Come on James Mills haven't you heard of Freeview. ? Also I used to visit people who were apparently poor on social security benefit but they could still afford Sky subscription?

  • NNickcot Nick Cotterill (@NNickcot) reported

    @Sotlive No, on freeview there are hundreds of channels for people to pick. If they subscribe to a TV service, even more. It's not like people didn't have a choice to watch it or turn over.

  • OmieAKA Omie (@OmieAKA) reported

    @Darrenjs68 @BBCNews Yes. Its almost like all those hundreds of other channels on yr Sky box or Freeview service don't exist.

  • FactsStomp Phil's Retro Life #retro (@FactsStomp) reported

    @trianabutler @cleanfeed_ttvr @ITV I didn't se it but that was my first thought. I bet it looked atrocious on the SD Freeview service and ultra low definition on the +1 channel.

  • maggieinlondon Maggie - wear a mask 💙🏳️‍🌈🌱 (@maggieinlondon) reported from Wandsworth, England

    With all this wall to wall coverage crap of a dead man by @skynews and @bbcnews Netflix and Freeview's viewing figures must be the highest they've ever been.
