    @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.

    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.

    The bonus to this is less equipment & remotes needed as old TV had no freeview & HDMI selector as only had 1 HDMI input. Tho the old Firestick really is slow compared to the newer one I use in the livingroom. Old TV will go off to charity later.

  • CeolinMaxime19 Arahant ⭕️🧬🌶️ (@CeolinMaxime19) reported

    Liz Truss has hinted she will announce more help on the cost of living - as Labour calls for the government to make public the plans it is considering. Sky's has the latest 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

  • Kevthegod1 Kevthegod (@Kevthegod1) reported

    @GBNEWS @Jacob_Rees_Mogg We have no need for World service, s4c , education programming, local radio, support for Freeview/sat infrastructure, free TV for over 75s, etc , etc ?? Plus it's public not state

  • BRIANAL07933883 BRIAN ALLEN (@BRIANAL07933883) reported

    @Aisha_mk @FreeviewAdvice Go into Freeview Play from settings sign in and accept terms and conditions this should solve it

  • Mc_Lote Mik Lote (@Mc_Lote) reported

    @JeremyVineOn5 No. They provide the Freeview network, are there to inform us in an unbiased way without undue influence from vested interests. Rupert Murdoch could never do that nor any of his successors.

  • keeperofstone Stone Keeper (@keeperofstone) reported

    @FABSITEUK Do you watch any TV? If you watch or record TV on any channel via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat), you need to be covered by a TV Licence.

  • ammejo1 Ammejo (@ammejo1) reported

    @JosephScotland @OlafStar @TiceRichard Optional if you NEVER watch any live t.v on any device that includes YouTube Amazon Freeview Channel4 More4 And more Not very "optional" is it It's a tax to watch the telly plain and simple and is now outdated

  • alibee2006 Alison Baddley (@alibee2006) reported

    @TalkTV @Iromg Just catching up with the show. Gary Glitter should never have been released. Let's hope they keep him in prison this time and hopefully lose the key. As for the TV licence, the channels are free on Freeview, plus you're paying again with Virgin and sky. It should be scrapped.

  • BobScot48804242 Bob Scott (@BobScot48804242) reported

    @RyanMcM89 @hothorrorqueen It's been on mine for ages too but I haven't tracked it down as a Freeview yet.

  • danny___puppy Super Weenie (@danny___puppy) reported

    @BenRoddison @mashcore4mums @kianworld Pokemon TV is a free service and Pop is a freeview channel, so that REALLY helps keep the costs down with this list
