    @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.

    @paramountco your @My5_tv service needs a lot of work doing on it it keeps freezing and not starting programs from the catch-up menu on Freeview play.

    @aliward_96 @Mistress__Lucy You don't have to cater to anyone's demand. If you think there's a big market for the show, it's genuinely never been cheaper to start a Freeview channel. Talking Pictures is run as a hobby. Make some ad revenue and broadcast it!

  • macmeonly buggrit (@macmeonly) reported

    @RupertLowe10 Why a subscription service? All the channels on Freeview manage.

  • EnglishGem1 English Gal 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 (@EnglishGem1) reported

    @Borisnose2 Never mind all that. Get yourself onto together Tv, drama or talking pictures on freeview classic tv there.

    @ITVX @ITVXhelp I just say as I see… it’s ****, if you check Twitter looks like it’s the same for pretty much everyone using the freeview app…maybe get your tech team to actually build a fresh app that just works? It’s literally never worked properly since day one

  • AboutEG About East Grinstead (@AboutEG) reported

    Anyone else experiencing poor Freeview reception on some channels this morning? Probably something to do with atmospheric conditions. Sporadic E?

  • francinemerry Francine Merry (@francinemerry) reported

    @TalkTalk I have permanent disruption of my internet connection when I use Freeview, particularly with my Disney+. Can you help

  • AnotherCinna Another PARODY ACCOUNT Cinna (@AnotherCinna) reported

    @spuddemos @ITVX There's an app for your phone or computer or your TV (like BBC iplayer). But if you only get terrestrial channels or Freeview "live" on your TV, you might have to get someone to help you set it up.

    @JasonJDaniel @PopBase Never watched, used or subscribed to Netflix and I never will, I love freeview and I don’t care. It’s also completely free to watch YouTube, which I do a lot of anyway. I don’t need a paid online subscription if I can watch something for nothing.

    @RevRichardColes For Freeview yes. For streaming add the app and login one at a time.
