    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 🙁

    We have an old DTT freeview box in our cord-never house that only makes special appearances every two years, when the old girl is dusted off for the World Cup and the Euros. Tells you all you need to know about reliability of live streaming services for footy. Anyone else?

  • taergsinaimad Damian (@taergsinaimad) reported

    Itv4 is absolutely horrible in standard definition 🤮 it's 2022, why aren't you broadcasting in hd on Freeview @itv?

  • GarethBarkley Gareth Barkley (@GarethBarkley) reported

    Why is changing channels on my Humax Freeview box so slow? The interface literally has one job.

  • BarneyBear63 Christopher J. Barnes (@BarneyBear63) reported

    @tcm TCM have been almost invisible in the UK as tiny TALKING MOVIES channel goes from strength to strength on FREEVIEW UK. You will never know how many classic movies we have watched since 2018.

  • Prof_Plumtree Professor Plumtree (@Prof_Plumtree) reported

    @davehendon @eurosport @WeAreWST it isn't an issue to me as I can watch online, but why has freeview QUEST stopped showing the snooker?

  • TheAwkwardGuy__ The Awkward Guy (@TheAwkwardGuy__) reported

    Anon: I'm sorry, mum and dad. The shelf in the living room didn't fall down because of dad's shoddy work or mum putting too many figurines on it. I hated them watching me while I was trying to enjoy the 10 minutes freeview so I pulled the shelf down. Sorry about the 20 year …
