    @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 🙁

    @DavidWhiteleyTV Freeview SD no problem. Freeview HD I get Meridian. Minor issue in the grand scheme of things though considering what's happening elsewhere in the world.

  • AndrewR42912446 Andrew & Karen's Adventures @caravanning (@AndrewR42912446) reported

    @WithRobsons Freeview TV, lots of crap channels but you don't pay a subscription 👍

  • rickyblack1970 ricky black the BAM (@rickyblack1970) reported

  • molesworth_1 molesworth_1 (@molesworth_1) reported

    @sliderulesyou Sympathies. I just pray my old man never finds GB News on the Freeview.

  • The4thSong ChelseafortheCup (@The4thSong) reported

    i did a freeview retune and now im getting liverpool tv instead of manchester and it sucks they dont do old style comedies like benny hill, hale and pace

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie 🇺🇦 (@Brekkietweets) reported

    R4 LW is probably long overdue being closed as a separate service at least. Doesn't seem to be any plan though to close the SD services on TV. Surely cutting from two muxes to one on Freeview would be a significant saving, alongside equivalent changes on satellite/cable.

  • BeebStreem Beb (@BeebStreem) reported

    @OfficialCDJ Terrible news I remember coming home each day from school to plonk on CBBC, watching both you and Ian have some proper banter. The saddest thing is, as somebody who grew up poor couldn't afford streaming services or anything other than freeview TV.
