    @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 🙁

  • gamer_hoe A (@gamer_hoe) reported

    The camera on the new Pokémon is so bad. Why is it constantly drifting and so choppy??? What's the point of a Freeview camera if it forcefully changes the camera position when I move

  • johnsouthwales johnsouthwales (@johnsouthwales) reported

    quite a few Freeview channels gone down

  • MikeRuddick Mike Ruddick (@MikeRuddick) reported

    @itv please fix the glitch that’s making our picture jump. Happening across all Sky channels, normal freeview, but not on freeview HD. Also goes away during ad breaks

  • Haddy51 Sarah Haddock (@Haddy51) reported

    Hi @ArgosHelpers I bought a freeview box on 21/9/22 but it's faulty 2 months on. Keeps loosing signal then the whole thing has frozen not allowing channels to be changed or even switch off. How do I claim a refund?

  • se25jg 𝕵.𝕲 (@se25jg) reported

    If I can say only one positive about this World Cup is that, Football being so accessible on freeview TV is brilliant. This should never change and be more regular. Get more Football on freeview TV!

  • helpasmallbus1 help a small business and a family (@helpasmallbus1) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam can you tell me what exactly your admin fee of £20 is and why I have to pay this every time I renew my sky q package, as a long time customer I’m seriously considering keeping my £20 and just using freeview and Netflix

  • chris_mcintyre2 Chris McIntyre (@chris_mcintyre2) reported

    @AprilPreston_ You underestimate him. He's never recovered from the introduction of Freeview to British Society.

  • chalmers_noel Noel Chalmers (@chalmers_noel) reported

    @AgentDowling 5G tower in the vicinity? I had trouble a while back and the freeview helpline told me this is definitely a factor, confirmed there was one near me, but wouldn’t say where.

  • ShaitanIblis Shiva (@ShaitanIblis) reported

    @CharlotteCGill The 20-somethings would not say that, they know UK's senior citizens who rely on a state pension, need pension credit, do not have Netflix, they have Freeview instead, never buy expensive coffees or food outside their home.

  • Ucan_Call_Me_Al Alex White (@Ucan_Call_Me_Al) reported

    @LGUK is it true that my LG tv screen keeps going black because of an issue with HD freeview signal? Got told by your rep that I had to wait three weeks for a software update.
