    @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.

  • RoboJ1M RoboJ1M (@RoboJ1M) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @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 🙁

    I have tried a few times to get GB news on my television up here in Perth Scotland but been unable successful. I have freeview and I believe it is channel 236 I also have a smart TV and digital aerial so that shouldn't be an issue ,has anyone else been having the same issue ?

  • thisisrjg Dr Jamiebear 🐻 (@thisisrjg) reported

    @merseytart @MrsSimonTemplar Broadband here at my mum’s went down earlier today. I have no idea at all how to navigate her complex system of Freeview tv with no aerial attached to Freeview+ recorder with aerial that appears to supply her tv with pictures. With her Roku stick and Echo down, I sat in silence.

    @BBC6Music i along with several other broadcast engineers currently shouting at our radio that there are still radio transmissions. DAB is transmitted as an RF signal. As is DVB-T - Freeview telly. It’s not all online or satellite!

  • nhs_groverhaus Spooks Malloy (@nhs_groverhaus) reported

    @LamentablyAwake @BierStarmer @BareLeft This is the problem though, a Unite channel will just be all the same people but now on freeview for some reason.

  • Nicky_Harrison_ 𝗘𝗸𝗹𝗲𝗸𝘁𝗶𝗸𝗶𝗡𝗶𝗸𝗶💁🏻‍♀️🇬🇧 (@Nicky_Harrison_) reported

    @ant_hkuk @GBNEWS Are you with the #Freeview? They have issues all the time don't they? Some people are not getting #GBNews broadcast to them at all, confirmed by @FreeviewAdvice. And I'm sure they dealt with that a few days back you know, the synching issues. What show did you last notice it on?.

  • JPFerguson89 John Ferguson (@JPFerguson89) reported

    @jmwainey_88 Get channel 601 on freeview different commentary. **** listening to him off lad u will end up depressed

  • VLeggeri ViaggiareLeggeri (@VLeggeri) reported

    Dear @FreeviewTV , You know how bad it feels, when you discover cat poo in the middle of your living room? Today I found GB News on Freeview, on my TV. Same feeling. Can you please clean up? @GBNews_Fails

  • UVoltmi Uri Voltmi (@UVoltmi) reported

    @Patriotic253 @StefGotBooted @tomhfh Anyone working for GB “News” deserves to be pilloried. The quality is dreadful all round; presenters, guests, pictures, & sound. I’m sure I’ve seen better quality 16mm film, & if you can hear sound (which you can’t on Freeview) the quality is poor. I’d be embarrassed to be on it

  • Daverjr David_bythesea (@Daverjr) reported

    @NicGreenshields @afneil @GBNEWS You may need to retune your tv or box. You may simply have poor signal. But also- GB News is not available on freeview in all parts of the U.K. In which case- You will need to watch it on sky, freesat, or online.
