    @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.

    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.

    @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 🙁

    @Selene_Mariposa The law says you need to be covered by a TV Licence to: watch or record TV on any channel - via any TV service (e.g. Sky or Freeview) or watch TV live on any streaming service On any device. You can opt out n if you don’t do the above. So it is not a tax for simply owning a TV

    Another stupid idea is the 2034 plan to turn off Freeview. In no way will rural broadband be up to providing reliable services by then..the same applies to FM/MW radio. It's ridiculous meanness dressed up as 'progress' @SarahChampionMP @KarlTurnerMP @lukeakehurst

    I watch Al Jazeera - I get the truth from this site, & I'm more likely to get it here than from our own crap MSM. Freeview also on Ch 251. It's Arab, but good Arab 👍

    @aconda_ann I am quite old fashioned as well. I did get a bargain smallish 'internet / smart' TV but no use when freezes or internet cuts off (been happening for years, with no fix). It's on a terrible indoor aerial, so I can't get most Freeview on that one but my fave usual telly: Freeview.

    @BENEFITS_NEWS I don't understand what switching off Freeview does, except I assume forces people to pay for everything? We have an Amazon Fredrick thing but the channels are apps. It's crap half the TV channels you can't even get on it. Freeview is better.

    @HelenFish249972 I don’t even think I pay for mine. I had Freeview for years, then Sky had a good deal as a new customer, I went to cancel this year as I’d had it two years and they basically kept it at the same price again. It was actually a few quid lower. I only pay £20 odd the internet, and

    I bet you haven't even read the info where they're thinking about scrapping all freeview channels. And so to watch TV it'll all be paid online service - that you need ID for! Join the dots.

    @RugbyBath Despite Prem Rugby saying it's ITV4, The Freeview planner is saying Chiefs V Sarries - i'd ask Prem Rugby, but they never reply!

    @Osprey0 @SkyNews Yes, GB News WAS in HD on Freeview, but the paedophiles in @OfCom decided to erase five HD TV channels, for garbage 5G mobile phones. The channels are still in HD on satellite, a cheapo sat box, sub £100 dish, and decent cable, and you can have it all so long as dish south facing
