    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.

    @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.

  • RoboJ1M RoboJ1M (@RoboJ1M) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @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 🙁

    @FreeviewAdvice Hello. My freeview is down 3 days already. Stevenage Hertfordshire

  • sodslawyer sod's lawyer (@sodslawyer) reported

    @Neverfadingwood @Thebubblegunman Me, not since around 1997 (a black and white portable). I suppose when I say I've never used Freeview that's not strictly true as I've seen it on other people's tv, but really don't have any sense of what is or isn't available on it.

  • MontyBear8 Paul (@MontyBear8) reported

    @JohnNicholRAF @netflix I Should really cancel it, can’t remember last time I watched anything on it!. Ditched sky 3 years ago, don’t miss it. Freeview box with recording capability just fine. Have to say Britbox is pretty good

  • charltondoris Angela 🇺🇦 (@charltondoris) reported

    @TroubleDads @virginmedia Completely agree, i felt it was so unfair. What made it worse was that about 4mth after moving in, VM was supplied to the area! They would have known this too. I take great delight in putting as many off of VM as i can, awful company. Happily now have giffgaff and freeview 👍

  • Haggis91569570 Northern Haggis🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Haggis91569570) reported

    @FreeviewTV Why is the freeview signal reception so terrible in north east Scotland and can we get a discount on the license fee for having to put up with your abysmal service.

  • christopher_eng Christopher England 🇬🇧 (@christopher_eng) reported

    Just seen that all the programme times on the Freeview version of @talktv 's EPG are 1 hour out. Bet they don't fix it in time for Monday.

  • WayneDLawrence1 Wayne Lawrence (@WayneDLawrence1) reported

    I've just retuned my Freeview. I have 112 channels. That'll be @TalkingPicsTV and 111 crap ones then.

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    @DimensionsInJen I fully agree but I also wonder if it would help if those who watched or recorded on Freeview/satellite/cable shouldn't also stream it via the iPlayer to ensure it counts. You don't need to watch again, mute the tab and let it run. That's what I'm doing to ensure my view counts.

  • ShorttClare Clare Shortt (@ShorttClare) reported

    @PatriotNz2022 Had a years free subscription with Vodafone and never renewed, couldn't find anything to watch! Don't have any streaming services, just a Freeview recorder

  • sodslawyer sod's lawyer (@sodslawyer) reported

    @Thebubblegunman @Neverfadingwood I haven't a clue, I've never used Freeview.
