    @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.

    @BBCNews Is there a problem with sound on the News Channel on freeview (233) keep hearing voices in background for the past week when presenters are talking #odd #confusing

  • FintanTheWrong FintanT (@FintanTheWrong) reported

    The Horror Channel on Freeview now playing an awful movie called Extraterrestrial

  • ClaireMenzies12 Claire Menzies (@ClaireMenzies12) reported

    @BBCNews @Ofcom I no longer watch BBC Breakfast coz of the way you treat your presenters, news bulletins read so fast in a way people can’t grasp what’s being said. The BBC contract with Freeview is an absolute boring disgrace & the choice of programs all it is repeats reality TV

  • stukulele stukulele (@stukulele) reported

    Worst thing about Airbnbs is when the TV only has the barebones freeview. No other options. It's savage. I'm watching the RADIO for goodness sake.

  • shirleyGTTO 💙 #LabourLeaks ... #FordeReport. NO DMs (@shirleyGTTO) reported

    @netflix having received a price increase today. I will be cancelling. Didn't anyone tell you about the cost of living in the UK. Seems nobody gives a damn. Profits before people eh! In the bin, Freeview is perfect

  • StuHennigan Stu Hennigan (@StuHennigan) reported

    Ah **** Anvil is on Sky Arts right now and the reception on my freeview box is borked 😫

  • willhadcroft Will Hadcroft (@willhadcroft) reported

    @thepen_thesword Moon Embracing the Sun, yes, I recall that title. Another one she loved was Crash Landing On You. We're not subscribed to anything other than British Freeview channels and Netflix. I've never heard of Viki!

  • Socialist67 Tommy Hepburn (@Socialist67) reported

    @virginmedia The Tivo box is knackered. At least 12 years old & was really slow. Technician booked but not for 6 days. Not mine but my 85 year old Dad's & his only entertainment. I had to buy him a freeview box so he can catch the news. It's not worth £100 per month so might end the contract.

  • mattmitch66 Prefix (@mattmitch66) reported

    @FreeviewTV I've lost all the HD freeview channels on my TV this evening. Is anyone else having the same problem? South Manchester area. Already tried retuning to no avail.

    @killajones1985 Apologies for the technical issues, we are doing our best to fix the issue in the YouTube stream. If you have access to freeview you can watch on sportystuff tv.
