  • 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 🙁

  • Bermudgirl Marilyn McCubbin (@Bermudgirl) reported from Netley, England

    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.

    @revoltinghippie @80_mcswan Euronews is not too bad but can be a bit boring (freeview 271)

  • Rabyna46 Rabyna Choudhry (@Rabyna46) reported

    @2261552iThe How are people supposed to watch on Freeview? I don't trust BT and will never use them as they owe us money when we changed Broadband and phone provider. They never returned our money and won't respond to emails or calls.

  • 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!

  • DawnieR2 🇬🇧#BackBoris🇬🇧 (@DawnieR2) reported

    @BILDERBERG_GP @rosiewright99 I agree, watch it at home FreeSat - no problems, come to caravan and watch Freeview - dreadful lip sync....all other channels however, are fine!!

  • Superwendii Jack Russell's Rule (@Superwendii) reported

    @midkentforbrit1 First get rid of all mobile contracts and tv subscriptions. Get sim only and freeview only. This plus cooking from scratch would be a massive help for everyone to reduce their outgoings. Plus get a good freezer. Freeze yellow ticket reduced stuff. Make extra for another day.

  • antonio_catta Antonio Catta (@antonio_catta) reported

    @nwo_to It's a while (thee years now) I don't watch Freeview tv. I'm clean. If it was for my support, they wouldn't exist anymore. They would manage just to smuggle soap operas and natural documentaries in a private channel.

  • thexhaunt Atticus🔺️👁 (@thexhaunt) reported

    They don't half make it difficult to cancel your Sky Q subscription, got there in the end, get to keep the box as a freeview box that records TV and can be paused whilst also getting a fiver off my broadband.

    Anyone ever notice that the Weagle Eagle Seamus Agent 167 never Tweets between 9pm and 9.05pm and 10pm and 10.05pm and 11pm and 11.05pm?? Cos he's watching the 5 minute Freeview in his Ma's back room. @JamieBrysonCPNI
