    @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.

  • chris_sucksmith Chris (@chris_sucksmith) reported from East Cowes, England

    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.

    @TJCSHOPPING I've watched TJC on freeview quite a few times and it's very mundane. Much more interesting is reading the consistently dreadful reviews customers leave. Damaged, inferior and missing goods, appalling customer service and so on ... Best avoided. #TJCSHOPPING

  • LukeN100 LukeN (@LukeN100) reported

    @WolfieSmiffed @BBCNews You can't cancel broadcasters on Freeview. You can just watch another service instead

  • RaxM__ RaxM (@RaxM__) reported

    As TV signals changed to digital, you either have a @FreeviewTV integrated TV or need to use a freeview box on an older TV. Why does @BBCNews have to interrupt @Wimbledon on the hour? If you want to watch the national news, go to the BBC news channel which has the same content

  • Churchill59 Graeme C. Halloway (@Churchill59) reported

    @EE I am SO DISAPPOINTED Wth the Signal of My EE Samsung Fe20 5G Mobile indoors DL14 9UH. 40% is One Bar to NIL, CONSTANTLY. Despite Alleged Improvements.The TV Freeview ALSO Constantly Drops Out. YET Signal, without using the HUMAX FREEVIEW BOX is Fine. What IS HAPPENING??

  • EmmaLovelace Emma Lovelace (@EmmaLovelace) reported

    So any atmospheric pressure over 1,005 mBar just lays to waste nearly half of my Freeview channels. Goes from 147 to 96. All BBC, ITV and Channel 4 gone. Pulling the aerial out and returning trick, does not help With the rain last night, did get 107 now back to 96.

  • merseytart Scott (@merseytart) reported

    @SkillageSteve One of my terrible habits is updating the Freeview on hotel tellies. I can’t stop myself.

  • SEOTipsnTricks C. Byrne (@SEOTipsnTricks) reported

    @anon_opin If you've only got Freeview, there's **** all on the box 97% of the time

  • littlemore20 Tessa Bennett remembering Toddy and Kevin (@littlemore20) reported

    Does anybody know why CBS Justice (Freeview channel 69) says "Service Closed"? Is it permanent?

  • manLawrance Freightliner (@manLawrance) reported

    @frankyjazzie Why do you want us to sign that I have just lost my Freeview signal on my TVfor 5G so if it’s good enough for TV it’s good enough for my mobile phone without any ill effects !!!

  • haylsbb Hayley (@haylsbb) reported

    can’t believe the state of morning tv at the moment. staying at my dads so we only have freeview channels, we ended up watching something called “dress to impress” which is a dating show where you have to decide who to date based on outfits they chose for you. ******** is this?!
