    @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 🙁

  • Bermudgirl 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.

    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.

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

  • cotswold31415 Sir Fiftysomething Gardener 💛💙🇺🇦 (@cotswold31415) reported

    @HumaxUK Why are @BBCiPlayer programmes not loading and playing on Freeview?? Been down for a few days now…

  • Miranda_Jayne Janet Carter (@Miranda_Jayne) reported

    Could @RadioTimes tell me how many times a day I'm expected to re-sign in on their website now after the update? Doesn't seem to matter how many times I set my preferences as Freeview NW, within an hour or so they've defaulted back to every channel London. GRRR

  • RyanMorrisonJer Ryan Morrison (@RyanMorrisonJer) reported

    I can't get a Freeview signal (no rooftop aerial, powered indoor aerials don't work) and can't put up a satellite dish. Not paying Virgin. So trying to find a purely digital solution. None are easy or come with a simple guide/planner.

  • 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

  • Bella_Ciao_Free Bella Ciao (@Bella_Ciao_Free) reported

    @skytv @TalkTV Why is the picture and sound glitchy. The picture quality is great but it's just not playing correctly. Note... Rest of my channels are fine even CNN which in bad weather disappears 1st. Also freeview is working fine... Thank you.

  • EricBear18 Eric Bear (@EricBear18) reported

    @chomper_TC @CodsyBear We do struggle to find stuff on Netflix these days - even alot of their « new » shows have already been on Freeview. Trouble with Amazon is there is alot of stuff without subtitles and we need those much of the time 🙄

  • IceyGareth president elect gareth (@IceyGareth) reported

    @Russtophocles1 There is a freeview ad where someone has broken it down and shows predictive programming and something hitting the earth in 2022 was part of that if I can find it I’ll send over

  • climate_is_ok Go Woke Go Broke (@climate_is_ok) reported

    @Bridgetpee You'll have Freeview tuner in a post 2016 tv. Plug in the satellite or terrestrial aerial and scan channels. Sometimes the Freeview settings need tweaking. Hit me up if you have problems

  • 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.
