  • 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 🙁

    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.

    @GBNEWS I have found your signal on Freeview but not Freesat. I understand it should be 216. Is this correct and if it is, when will the signal broadcast to find. Cheers.

  • GowSte Stevie G 😷#HandsFaceSpaceFreshAir (@GowSte) reported

    @arabforlife83 Assume bt tv box is connected to internet hub by ethernet. That’s what your bt sport comes down. Tv channels (Freeview) come via aerial. Connect aerial from wall socket into box, then aerial out from box to tv. For aerial signal to pass through to tv, need pass through setting on

  • hicje clive everett (@hicje) reported

    @SarahLouisaColl My freeview service is the same ,always having to retune.

  • Ognjenovic Filip (@Ognjenovic) reported

    @AllsGood6 @DefundBBC I am just trying freeview again for first time in ages at my mums. It's absolute insulting crap. My decision to cancel the licence was the correct one

  • AvifaunaLux AvifaunaLux Shadow Banned for telling the truth!🌸 (@AvifaunaLux) reported

    @NOW Disappointing that this is not being shown on a regular terrestrial Freeview "network" channel, being that Friends was a network show available to all, and not premium/subscription.

  • WooTube Andy Wootton (@WooTube) reported

    Freeview TV Guide says, "GB News is Coming". How do I fasch-block it, so they know, @FreeviewTV ? Are you taking bribes from streaming services to put crap on?

  • AllsGood6 Loquitur (@AllsGood6) reported

    @DefundBBC Wouldn’t watch the BBC even they made it Freeview, one of the best decisions I made to cancel my TV license

  • DarthElliot . (@DarthElliot) reported

    @Cuppa378 It’s free because they’re contractually obligated to provide it for freeview. As they were happy to show the EL final in full resolution on YouTube 3 days back, not doing the same for the CL as the more important competition is pathetic.

    @GBNEWS Freeview reception is very poor at the moment. Hope you can boost your signal so I can watch a decent news channel.
