    @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

    @JulieCourtTV @CourtTV @CourtTVUK Please can you help? Apparently it was from the American side that stopped the freeview chanel.

  • MartinG17508467 Martin Gale (@MartinG17508467) reported

    @FreeviewTV The thing is with S40 3NY postcode is that the poor reception channels are the ones I really want to watch ! Why oh Why that the true middle of England and has high populations Sheffield Manchester Nottingham Derby within 30 miles you cannot have high quality Freeview

  • pwb413 Astro Boy (@pwb413) reported

    @DuncanUK45 Let's not forget the free crowd booster tickets! The 100 will only attract "locals" who are close to the preferred Test Match quality grounds. Remote County supporters have little interest in travelling to this watered down T20 series - like me watch on Sky or occasional Freeview

  • craigsteeps Craig Steeples (@craigsteeps) reported

    @LouLCC Eurosport used to be on freeview so maybe worth a check. The lad who passed was best friends with a girl 2 doors down from us and he was always in their garden, didn't know him, but when they passed they always said hello. Very sad as seems he was pushed and couldn't swim 😭😭

  • Survivingin2020 Surviving2021 (@Survivingin2020) reported

    Anyone wanting the hockey its on sky channel BBC RB HD 981 or BBC RB on Freeview 601 sd crap picture #BBCOlympics

    Shoutout to all the Freeview kids who didn’t have channels like Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and Jetix growing up.
