    @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 🙁

    @GregScottTV Uktv still broadcasting with a caption to turn over to bbc news earlier. Some Shopping channels down, Sky could have closed sky arts or pick on freeview with sky news in its place, They didn't, Showcase though are but it'd pay tv.

    I notice that on the Freeview guide Hits Radio have scheduled 'Special Announcement' for tomorrow too. Radio City is part of the Hits Radio network. Source: Freeview guide.

    @4Viewers Thank you for replying, unfortunately whilst your link works, when I try to watch via the All4 app on my BT freeview player, the only Chateau DIY listed on there is the last series from 2021. I've even tried searching for it via "last 7 days" and it's not even listed there. Help!

  • Ale_n_Metal j t (@Ale_n_Metal) reported

    @NateDawg27 @shedden Yep. A lot of older/isolated people will only have freeview/radio so putting it just on bbc news 24/world service for rolling reporting with any new news on standard news bulletin programmes would be better

  • jbhoymolloy John Molloy (@jbhoymolloy) reported

    Half the country suddenly finding the hundreds of channels on Freeview that they’ve never used. I’m currently watching some antique fella with a Peaky Blinder cap fleecing toffs of their valuable antiques.

  • jelbugle j_e_l (@jelbugle) reported

    @pb14 @dubdobdee True, and the multi-channel environment on freeview seemed pretty much the same as ever last night. Poor old Beeb is in a bit of a bind.
