    @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 🙁

    @Artemisfornow They should make 'over-air' broadcast (Freeview etc) free and Charge for iPlayer access which is already behind a paywall of sorts because it asks for your TV License number already Over air programmes have poor Image Quality as it is; why pay for SD quality?

  • tweetSP0RT tweetSP0RT (@tweetSP0RT) reported

    @Ste15375723Mark @MartinSLewis @GMB FWIW I think most likely outcome is the licence fee will be kept as the least worst option. Advertising is non-starter as it would destroy ITV/C4/C5's revenue. Subscription isn't possible for Freeview/radio. Bundling in with tax would be spun badly for the gov.

    Awful picture for this U21 match. Like watching Freeview on a smart tv.

    @BBCBreakfast Why are us in the North-East of England seeing the London local news on freeview? #Fail

    @TLWUK1Official @MediaBoyUK SKY never had ITVBe+1. ITV Quiz+1 will launch on Freeview more likely in August 2025

  • MarkHolla Mark (@MarkHolla) reported

    Well after 7 years with @skytv looks like it's time to leave. Bill jumping from £68 to £94. Even the basic package if I removed cinema and sports is still £50. **** that. I'll go back to freeview. #Sky @SkyHelpTeam

  • FalaCatsco Catherine (@FalaCatsco) reported

    @AgentP22 According to STV it's shows like Coronation Street etc, Albas figures are an impressive 530,000 adult viewers a week when it became available on Freeview and Virgin media, how odd. Their average viewing time is an hour and 40 mins? Never watched Alba, lot of Sports apparently.

  • Dogglllzzz eyerish seadog (@Dogglllzzz) reported

    @BBCBreakfast Yet again, on freeview, there is no North-East Look North local bulletin. Why does this keep happening ? Is there a problem with the freeview service ? #Fail

  • Welshlass1962 Maggie Ikin (@Welshlass1962) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam That was when Sky tv was value for money! I left Sky last year because you could only offer a measly £2 per month discount for a customer who had been with you for over 20yrs! And I don’t miss Sky at all…..on FREEview now!
