    @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 🙁

    Why is freeview so **** at the weekend unless you like cooking programs or murder she wrote FFS? Thank .... for Netflix or Amazon prime whichever works for you

  • MaJules64 MaJules (@MaJules64) reported

    @jasonpeacock8 @arqiva Compensation for what? A service you don't even pay for in the first place, you don't pay for Freeview, the clue is in the name. As you have Virgin Media you still have access to live TV so are not due any sort of refund.

  • Carti_Mandua LadyAnniSpice... #IStandWithIsrael 🔯🕎✡️🇮🇱 (@Carti_Mandua) reported

    Just watching a programme on Freeview about the German programme set up by Himmler called " Lebensborn" . Y is the UK being blasted for slavery 200 + years ago especially when we abolished it , when Germany never gets slated for the Holocaust or Lebensborn etc only 80 years ago ?

  • VelvetyMole VelvetyMole🌻🌱 (@VelvetyMole) reported

    @Flashmaggie @rascallycake I watched some of it. I liked a show that took the piss out of wokism. Was a bit put off after reading about Andrew Neil's 'ordeal' at their hands. Also, it's so far up the freeview schedule, I never get beyond channel 81 i.e. @TalkingPicsTV - nothing beyond that worth watching!

  • EddieRobson Eddie Robson (1969 Glyn Johns Mix) (@EddieRobson) reported

    @prkirkley We never get those here! Not sure why but we only get about 90% of Freeview on our transmitter, so there are a few channels we don't get (CBeebies HD and Freesports too). Maybe they're also the most likely to go down elsewhere?

  • SamAHarvey Sam Harvey (@SamAHarvey) reported

    @pjgoodman @HammerGothic Have still never seen it 🤦🏻 Don’t have Freeview so can’t join in 😭

  • franb66 (((Lady B))) (@franb66) reported

    @virginmedia Tivo box keeps turning itself off, remote doesn't work. Only started when work in area started. Have taken to watching on Freeview. Can't see point in using your service

  • shambo1ic shambolic (@shambo1ic) reported from Bowling, Scotland

    @kentindell Tbh every time I turn on my LG it asks if I want to programme channels. I have no antenna connected. I use it for streaming and Sky so never needed freeview etc. not so smart smart Tv

  • evan_makeba Evan Makeba (@evan_makeba) reported
