Marilyn McCubbin (@Bermudgirl) reported from Netley, England@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.

Chris (@chris_sucksmith) reported from East Cowes, EnglandOne 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.

john knights (@JohnJpsk) reported from Eastleigh, EnglandShit on TV tonight.... But this Freeview 231 takes the biscuit...

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 🙁

4comall (@topselfy) reportedThere is the most awful program with the most awful people on it called junk and disorderly on #Freeview. Who on earth pays for and schedules this crap?
-
OnTheSnaff1 (@TheSnaff1) reported@Bjarne147 It was included in the base Sky or Virgin package mate. So a subscription to Sky or Virgin needed to watch it at the rates they charge. It was never on Freeview as you claimed and it was never "free". Not sure why you are dying on this strange hill that it was free to watch.

Jack Last (@Ajax62859643753) reported@GBPolitcs Why is the BBC on Freeview?, it’s a free to watch service hence the name. But because the BBC use it they expect people to pay for a free service.
-
JT (@JBT0108) reported@jdpoc My elderly neighbours will be lost without Freeview. To be honest it’s also the back up for many Virgin and Sky subscribers when their systems go down.

Alberto (@AlbertoSpain79) reported@SkyNews @haynesdeborah What a **** service is sky atlantic. 35 pounds a month not worth at all. Just ads ads ads and more ads in an interface which is an absolute ****. wishing my 2 years contract to finish so i can get rid of it. I almost have less channels than with freeview. A total scam.

The moderately far right 🏴 (@freefromwoke) reported@GBPolitcs Why should I pay a tax for a service I choose not to use? If I choose Sky, TNT, Paramount, Disney, Netflix ect. I pay for it. The ones I don’t pay for (Freeview services) are funded by advertising. Frankly the public funding for C4 should be revoked too.

Mr. Kiwi (@MrHilariouskiwi) reportedBit slow off the mark with this one. Thought I'd fire up the FreeView sat box but NOT WORKING because in April 2025 (AKA 'just recently Mr. Kiwi 🙄) is dead will not talk to 'new satellite'. So much for watching winter Olympics.

Philip Hackman (@Obi1227Phil) reported@SteveMay_UK It’s Sh💩T I installed one for a customer you can’t record ITV channels even though it is a recorder unless you go into a alternative TV guide which you can’t navigate easily, to find ITV channels via Freeview on alternative numbers that make no sense customer returned it
