  • 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 🙁

  • thedxmo damo 🎃 (@thedxmo) reported from Bognor Regis, England

    @tomster36 Netflix and Amazon I have a subscription to but to use other streaming apps on one device, I don’t have freeview because it’s shit just use streaming services now

    Unironically, I genuinely think The best shows off Freeview TV (CBBC and CITV) would was any other network 10v10

    @Cyanosis1966 @BATC_London @DPJHodges 1) How do you (technically) have a subscription service that doesn’t require a set top box/internet connectivity? 18m people use Freeview, & 1.8m households have no internet access 3) If you need to pay £20/month to Sky/Virgin to access it, it is more expensive than a licence fee

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

    @LeeroyWildman Freeview Leeroy I am fortunate to have Channel 4 on my phone so no problem I watched it on that instead but it was strange it wasn't on my televisions 🤔 I even went downstairs to see if it was just my bedroom one But the sitting room one didn't have it either 🥺

  • Dave0932705 Dave (@Dave0932705) reported

    @Larterlia @GBNEWS Couldn’t get signal on my freeview

  • SlightlyRobotic RoboticTextMongler2000 (@SlightlyRobotic) reported

    @dangermouse2 @alanshearer @DannoMkII The service isn't the BBC, it's freeview channels and other live TV channels. You don't have to pay it just because you own a device that could do that, only if you use it for that.

  • andyjameshicks Andy Hicks (@andyjameshicks) reported

    @AaronBastani It's the reason I'd never buy licence. (That and Sky taking Sky Sports News off Freeview if I'm honest.)

  • PaulCarmichaelV Paul Carmichael (@PaulCarmichaelV) reported

    @SZgoesCrazy @BBCBreaking I think that programming for disabled people, educational resources for children, maintaining the Freeview transmitter service for the poor and elderly is all worthwhile. You apparently don’t. We can agree to disagree.

  • AlexTheGuiri Alex the Guiri (@AlexTheGuiri) reported

    @Glostermeteor @MattWWoolwich Nope. The BBC was given a significant uplift in the licence fee to implement Freeview in the early 2010s. It was then allowed to keep that uplift to fund the World Service (previously FCO) and ‘free’ licences for over 75s (previously HMT). Typically it has subsequently reneged.

    @favesass They're forcing them onto the internet, this is insane. We could only have Freeview growing up since we barely had internet access. This is such a ****** thing to do to poor and low income families. Watching CBBC and CITV was literally one of the only things we were able to do.
