    @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 🙁

    @longman751y2 @Paul_Coull87 @SkySportsNews Exactly the Championship has had big well supported clubs in it and the highlights are on some nothing freeview channel, and the live games get awful figures on sky. Without the big clubs the remaining leagues and clubs will die. Let them get the proportional revenue they deserve

  • Mozzer2015 Jim Smith (@Mozzer2015) reported

    @GriffeyHilary @AnthonyICHH @MichaelsCoDub All a VPN does is mask your IP address, BBC is geoblocked in Ireland but with a VPN it makes a new IP Address look like you are in GB. Legal? Who cares? Nobody. You can get bbc free via freesat or freeview in ROI and no legal issues so....

    Is anyone else having trouble with receiving freeview, ?

  • batrobi Goingincognito 3.5% FBPE 🖤🇪🇺🇮🇹🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈 (@batrobi) reported

    @Philips No unfortunately. Lots of going around in circles. Searched the web & it seems lots of people are having same problem with aspect ratio in smart/on demand/freeview play mode, and no solution. Settings changes don’t apply. Maybe a bug on your OS? I returned and went for Samsung 😢

    @AdrianEdmondson Not a streaming service, but Channel 81 on Freeview @TalkingPicsTV shows classic films and documentaries all day.
