    @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 🙁

    @yacc143 I m referring to the 99.4% mentioned in late 1980s IBA Engineering announcements, and the 98.5% mentioned for Freeview. I do not know the *actual* level of Freeview coverage. It is hard for me to get a signal from my proper transmitter, Wenvoe. I can get Mendip off a knife.

  • donaloflynn Dónal O'Flynn (@donaloflynn) reported

    @ApeGugas @Choyaa13 Was that really a thing back in the day? Never occurred to me before. Of course, nowadays all of the channels are in the same Freeview multiplex from the same mast.

  • jimanthony62 Jamesiiboy (@jimanthony62) reported

    @DundeeSat My freeview digital tv through an aerial is not working....😬

  • _davidhansard David Hansard (@_davidhansard) reported

    Said I'd help an elderly friend who has poor TV reception due to rural location, get more channels. After call suddenly realised I don't know the first thing about it. Are Freeview channels available via cable? I don't even know how Netflix is received. Or the equipment needed.

  • DanniizDesignz Dannii (@DanniizDesignz) reported

    @sianeliza_ Yes the sound is awful. I'm not sure if it is completely ITV or if it is certain companies, as it was only one of us when it happened before, so I'd be interested to know if we are on all the same provider - Sky, Virgin, BT, Freeview etc. #ThisMorning

  • Musicals_Minion Minion Stu OBE 🇬🇧 🏳️‍🌈 (@Musicals_Minion) reported

    @Mike_Fabricant You don't need to pass legislation, just need service providers to not allow them to use their platform. It's not available on virgin media, so why don't sky and Freeview also kick them off? @skytv @FreeviewTV #BackBoris #StandingWithUkraine

  • timrobi12026017 tim robinson (@timrobi12026017) reported

    So poor? I khan only dream freeview 😳

  • KoKane_96 Fewgee1 🇬🇧🇺🇦 (@KoKane_96) reported

    @georgegalloway Oh hang on.. It doesn't look like it is. I'm pretty sure it was removed from freeview and cable though.

  • dhothersall Duncan Hothersall🌹 (@dhothersall) reported

    @hrochfor1 "Freeview Channel 264" is VisionTV, not a Freeview channel at all but an IPTV distribution service. IPTV is accessible anywhere in the world and is not subject to broadcast licences. I already said RT could continue on the web if it lost its licence. Please stop pretending.

    And does this apply to Freeview Play TVs also when not being connected to an internet feed. Many thanks, have an issue with a TV to try and resolve
