@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 🙁

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.

@XSManchester Attempted to fix a Freeview aerial in the loft some years ago. Starting sneezing with all the dust, slipped off the joists and came crashing thru the spare bedroom ceiling. Straight out of a comedy film .... Carry On Belly. 🙄

@Theking06810787 @CountBinface I don't get this, it's never gone away on Freeview, just press the Text button on your TV's remote while on BBC1, BBC2 or BBCNews and you're good to go: Page ideas: 101 = News headlines 302 = Football Headlines 360 = F1 Headlines 400 = Weather

@BuddClair As of this point, it looks as though there's no way we'll ever subscribe to a paid T.V. service like Sky or Virgin ever again. I'm happy to pay the licence fee as it stands, but Freeview's more than adequate, alongside Netflix and Spamazon.

Next year I’m going to refuse to pay my TV licence until the government do something about our TV & the BBC as a corporation not as channels because they’re just as bad. I am fed up with watching the same program is repeated on different channels through Freeview & no subtitles

@FreeviewAdvice hi Freeview, wondering if you can help. Just moved into a new build and your postcode checker says we won't get Freeview - not sure if this is true or just because we have a new postcode? Don't want to waste money on an aerial if we can't get it!

Freeview reception seems down again right now. The picture is all heavily pixelated. I've tried it using 2 different aerial cables and 3 different televisions. I just forked out on a new 4k tv last month. Not happpy!
