@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 🙁

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.

@YesterdayTweets Who cares. Freeview is just a joke now. Having to retune every other month is causing great problems for the elderly.

@res_to_ra_tion @meghansupporter Have you quite finished? No we had never heard of MM before she came into H's life. I live in the UK and Suits was on a USA Channel then on a little watched freeview channel here in the UK. So no we had NOT heard of her. What are receipts anyway? I haven't bought anything.

@coster_ray @WonPeople Incidentally the subscription model, as you must know, cannot work with Freeview (the most popular way for the poor and elderly to access television). So they’re a tad screwed aren’t they?

@SAORVIEW Not many channels, it be great if you added music, more entertainment and movie channels to your service we are living in 2022 and the UK has over 85 Freeview and Ireland has 11 channels. What's the point of paying for a TV licence.

@Lakeuk @timfarron The company dvtv that administrates the UK Freeview network is owned by the BBC.... They choose not to give us the full offering ( that we pay for all the same) so we pay for less service (Tim knows this it was his own campaign when Freeview first came out) we also can't get dab

@Knibbsey Yep. Noticed it yesterday. Hopefully soon in HD. Gloucester residents using Freeview however still get their news from the Midlands ☹. Sadly don't think there's a fix for that.

I have solved the BBC licensing "issue". Freeview and radio stays "free" and make any digital stuff (websites, iPlayer/catch-up etc) a subscription. I suspect there'll be enough people that rely on catch-up and iPlayer who would then subscribe / pay license.
