    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.

    @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 🙁

    @AndyJ147 @q_bettor I think it's a different audience. BBC aim itself at a more casual fan, Eurosport at somebody who is going to be watching all year round. I do sometimes put the BBC coverage on when it's on though, just to support snooker on Freeview telly. And for a bit of variety.

  • Fantastic__Mr Signore Fantastico (On Parler as @FantasticMr) (@Fantastic__Mr) reported

    @ANDIBABY8 I feel your pain there. I've only got the cooncil tv aka freeview so always having a battle with my ****** aerial for a signal lol

    @RTUKnews I'm probably slow here, but what happened to the news on Freeview? (RT international is on as ever) But RT UK would be on from 3pm - but, only realised, not seen it on in a while. 🤔
