    @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 🙁

    @GetLustCast @nad8348 @grandi_fan Yup, they got me it. It was shite, I think someone joked why do you need it after the 15 minute freeview. I’d stick a vhs in to record it from midnight to 4am only to find half of that **** was some ****** talk show with fat old **** Derek Botham and annoying **** Eric Hall

  • sheriffofknokem TrikiRefusenik (@sheriffofknokem) reported

    @EE @ThreeUK Why do you tolerate @JeremyVineOn5 bad-mouthing mobile phones ? He says using a mobile is '' like talking into a tin can '' every day .. He should be having a go at the dire reception on Freeview TV .

  • BensOnlineMusic BenArmstrongsOnlineMusic (@BensOnlineMusic) reported

    @jcalvarez2 @freesat_tv My parents invested in a 2TB freeview box. Not only was they dky q LNB not compatible and required a replacement at £100, but the box was incredibly slow and kept freezing. They just use apps on their smart tv now

  • JamesTurner37 James Turner KC (@JamesTurner37) reported

    @paulhunter62 I’d never heard of the channel until my sister told me - it’s a Freeview channel, apparently. As for the film, who knows! 🤷🏻

  • CliveRoper Clive Roper (@CliveRoper) reported from Dalham, England

    @TalkTV Can you not improve the picture quality on Freeview?? Compared to (GBNews) it is awful.

  • fanxyheon alesha🧸 (@fanxyheon) reported

    champions league matches not being on freeview tv is the worst thing to happen. Why should I have to watch on BT stinky behaviour

  • john_service @johnservice@mastodon.social (@john_service) reported

    @MarkDob_ Oh really? Suppose Jarrett knows the value of a good TV deal in the UK from Impact’s run on Challenge. Challenge airing in FreeView was a huge help in drawing those big houses for TNA in the UK during the first half of the 2010s
