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 🙁

The Under Dog (@mattq660256) reportedIt's obvious all the freeview so called news channels are not news channels its so obvious with what they say and what they fail to say which should be said!!!???
-
Breaking News (@MattMoore2025) reported@MetroUK Close down loads of channels that isn't important and keep the ones going why have we got loads of pointless channels on freeview Freesat Virgin and sky
-
Kier Jong Un (@StickToFact) reported@loobylambchop @GBNEWS Then you’ll have no TV at all. All other TV services, freeview, Sky or Virgin need a licence as they broadcast live TV. Amazon Prime doesn’t, it would only do that if you installed and used the iPlayer app, which also requires a separate login.

Popeye (@PopeyeFreeview) reportedFreeview channel 97 Hobbycraft TV What's happened to red button service?
-
Intars (@intars) reportedOnly the Brits could reach the top tier of world ice hockey and then have literally zero channels bother showing their games. Proper GB support: ‘We’ll die on the beaches… but not on Freeview, mate. Just pay €30 for the official stream like a proper mug.’
-
🇺🇦Tazfaedodge 🏴🇮🇪🇺🇦PS (@tazfaedodge) reported@BigFuzzyYak It can have some good stuff on it. After dinner time, Morning TV is crap. And right now I think they have most of the World Cup Football games on. But most of daytime TV on all channels are crap, unless you go to the freeview or even Sky.

neosalad (@neosalad) reported@JudeNicho @cyclingontnt This... I struggle to watch it in Freeview as the sd pic is awful. Discovery+ seems to have deleted my free account so I could watch the b highlights of giro etc on dmax/quest they had (in HD) And they'll wonder why viewership will rank this year.. 🤷🏻

Gillian Jamieson (@GillRaeWalker) reportedSupport @silvervoicesuk! "17 million people watch Freeview each week & 9 million rely solely on broadcast TV, more than half of whom are aged over 65. It would be cruel & irresponsible to force the most vulnerable households in the country to require an expensive broadband contract in order to continue watching TV." I agree. This group does great work! They also campaign to keep our fully reliable copper landlines, which will work in any electrical or internet outage unlike any other option.

LDH Marketing (@LDHMarketing) reported@BENEFITS_NEWS It also eats up a lot of your broadband. No problem if you're on an unlimited package, but for people on cheaper, restricted usage packages, that will cost. Freely is good where reception is poor, but Freeview is still needed.

Presley Turberville (@T21949Presley) reported@BritishComedy One more **** feminist's comedy for the Freeview telly dustbin.
