  • 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

    @markfrommellor @BBCOne Let’s not forget - the viewing figures for Wimbledon - is that just figures for viewing from platforms like Freeview/Sky? If so, how many more watched on iPlayer and services like Red Button? We’ll never know though…

  • oliver_shergold Acid 🇺🇦 Mouse (@oliver_shergold) reported

    @Sparkypatrick Yes I saw that, Talk Talk the cheapest, never looked at Plusnet, just walked up to the precinct and set up new account, new contract, fed up with Freeview content so now at least got all the Sky channels plus catch up and record.

  • SEOTipsnTricks C. Byrne (@SEOTipsnTricks) reported

    @anon_opin If you've only got Freeview, there's **** all on the box 97% of the time

  • MartinCox0155 Martin 'Snazzy' Cox (@MartinCox0155) reported from Longford, England

    Anyone here who lives in London, who watches, or at least, can watch Freeview TV (terrestrial, rather than satellite/streamed TV), can you check whether it's working? I'm not home, so can't check. Wondering if there is a Crystal Palace transmitter problem. Thanks

  • Clivemerritt clive merritt (@Clivemerritt) reported

    @westywaldo @btsport That's kinda my point then, everything is better when it's free lol, if not freeview though then i'm glad it's not sky, Sky lock you in, it's extremely expensive and their flexibility with their apps for watching other than on TV are crap, same as their multi room.

    @TogetherukTV when I retuned freeview I get data service message when I click on Channel 83

  • lookoutwales2 Gareth Joy (@lookoutwales2) reported

    @eljonesuk *faints* P.S. Sorry to see FreeSports close on Freeview (even though they always cut out your stuff on the rugby league replays!)

  • embecmom2 John (@embecmom2) reported

    @LeoLem54321 @SkyNews You need to be covered by a TV Licence if you watch live TV on any channel or TV service - such as ITV Hub, All 4, YouTube, Sky, Virgin, BT, Freeview, Amazon Prime Video, Now TV - on any device.

  • AmigaBoing AmigaBoing.net Blog (@AmigaBoing) reported

    @ukdtt @Forces_TV Amazing how many are moaning over the closure of ForcesTV - Do they not realise there are DVD's of almost all the series they watched on that channel? Close Freeview down completely, move to Freesat which will always have more channel capacity anyway, Freeview has become a JOKE

  • ArtNita1 ArtNita (@ArtNita1) reported

    @tvukzone I really don't want to see thus turn into another Freeview channel when 10 have just been shut down 😕
