    @FreeviewAdvice Can you help me please. I am now relying on Freeview. My tv has HD but Freeview isn’t. How do I get my Freeview into HD. It’s not a pleasure to watch. Thank you.

    @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.

    Hi is anyone else having issues with freeview today? No signal all day!

  • TheCouchtripper TheCouchtripper (@TheCouchtripper) reported

    @scottygb It's because barely anyone watches normal TV, let alone the freeview channels that are so far down the list. You're welcome.

  • ErinMiddlemass2 Erin Middlemass (@ErinMiddlemass2) reported

    …as well as numerous add on packages and this money is being completely wasted. The customer service is absolutely shocking. I have relied on now tv rather than freeview etc for television in my home and am now left with nothing even though I’m paying upwards of £25 a month.

  • Christo25577660 Christopher Murfin (@Christo25577660) reported

    I don't know what happened last night but at about 9 O'clock last night, I completely lost all of my Digital Freeview TV channels. All I could access was all of the TV channels via Samsung TV Plus, and that was it. Whether it was a power outage at the transmitter, I don't know.
