    @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 🙁

    @SkyHelpTeam Regretting getting skygo. Not only are we basically paying for freeview the satellite signal has been gone all evening. This isn't the 1970s. Absolute joke and will be cancelled.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @MisterVivian @cleanfeed_ttvr Saorview uses DVB-T / MPEG4, so it's the other way around. MPEG4 actually allows broadcasters to fit more channels on a multiplex. As a result, Sky News at 704x576 can be done at similar bitrates as a 544x576 service on UK Freeview. You may remember Sky once wanted to launch...

  • ColinMichaelHo2 Colin Michael Hodge (@ColinMichaelHo2) reported

    @sarahlouiseit @BabestationCams Sarah wow you are on tv looking hotter than ever go Sarah very naughty like me you lost a rival channel on Freeview Studio 66 shut down oops to them xx

  • BGhattaure BubblesG (@BGhattaure) reported

    @MoneySavingExp SKY’s charges are ridiculous! Who watched 999 channels? You try to cancel 1 subscription but you can’t as you’re tied into another one; so you end up purchasing the whole package - it’s a rip off!! I’m currently researching into Freeview.@skytv

  • raymierussell Raymond Russell (@raymierussell) reported

    @ImagesZx It seems to rely on what the definition of live TV. If a live program is available on Freeview, Cable TV or Sky (or any related streaming service) then that requires a license. You need fire example a license to watch Sky News live on YouTube. (1/2)

  • rook_mike PapaBear (@rook_mike) reported

    @FreeviewTV The FREEVIEW transmitter on Guildford's Hog's Back is DOWN. No Freeview TV reception in and around Guildford. No updates on social media. UNPRECEDENTED! No idea when NORMAL service will resume. That gets me ANGRY.

  • torkingt1 Trevor (@torkingt1) reported

    Watching ‘The Silent Enemy’ on Freeview. Must be the only black and white war film I’ve never seen before.

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    So much for the upgrade on signal from shiteview, the BBC channels (only channel we got after 'upgrade') aren't picking up a signal at all. Would be angry but given it's only BBC channels it's actually the small silver lining in the ongoing incompetentcy by #Freeview

    Olivia giving Ruby a stern dressing-down is something that I would pay non-Freeview money to see. #MadeInChelsea
