    @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 🙁

    @rlrossi64 Good question. I'm guessing: network television; broadcast TV; digital TV channels; Freeview. Creates a distinction between those and streaming services, I guess.

  • worldsbestman Andrew Thompson (@worldsbestman) reported

    @RestoreTVHelp Thank you very much for solving a long term issue I had with my Freeview Channels. Cards through the letter box normally go in the bin! Got one from RTV. Filled out online form, called them, 2 days later magic little box arrived and 5 mins later problem solved👍🙏

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @dramachannel The Freeview guide listings issue only affects Drama +1 displaying Dave listings.

  • gardeninguy Guy Cook (@gardeninguy) reported

    Pops has his TV back, and me turning Router off @ night, safety reasons, is the reason his box went wrong. It needs updating during night. Bloody stupid. My Freeview lets me know when I need to update. More electricity on, when not needed. Bills going up.

  • tiggernikki69 Nikki (@tiggernikki69) reported

    @clarketelecom Please can you tell me what you can do about my TV signal? Since you installed a 5G mast almost opposite my house it has disrupted my freeview signal and now I have lost half the channels. I can't even watch ITV!! Please tell me how you wish to rectify this?

  • kelaher զʊǟռȶʊʍ (@kelaher) reported

    @je_au @MichaelWestBiz I agree on the conditional DRM thing, though not 'trivial'. Also a confusing user experience. Example (real world, lived, me) - FreeView TV app no login - many TVs have Freeview AND native apps. Freeview has "missing content" for that reason - customer complaints result !

  • Mr___Boy John (@Mr___Boy) reported

    @Channel4 6 months after your major outage, I'm still seeing really bad audio sync on freeview... The internet is full of others saying the same thing. No other live TV has this issue. @WeAreWhisperTV is it just your F1 shows, that's all I watch on the channel?

  • misscepayne Carolyn Payne (@misscepayne) reported

    @CarrieHFletcher Literally dreading the day I have to upgrade the telly! I don’t know how any of it works! And I haven’t even entered the realm of the smart tv yet! We just have freeview! That’s it! Good luck! And sorry for the lack of help x

  • SnapeHugh hugbilly (@SnapeHugh) reported

    @RadioTimes I have done that, but the site doesn't seem able to remember one's chosen service provider between visits. Despite my remaining logged in it always defaults back to "Popular Channels" rather than remembering that I had selected "Freeview" previously . . .

  • PhilJBowers Phil Bowers (@PhilJBowers) reported

    @horror_channel Hi, I've just bought a freesat box and trying to access Horror Bites, but when I go to channel 138 I only get the existing Freeview channel, how can I access the in demand service on Freesat?
