@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 🙁

@karlypants1 @UKTVPlayHelp One problem is that the Freeview platform involves too many cooks but no chef that will take overall responsibility for sorting this type of problem. Maybe a campaign for refunding the TV licence fee would get some attention?

@ignorami @LeeAndersonMP_ @lucyfrazermp UTTER CRAP!!! If you watch ITV you have to pay it. If you watch Chanel 4, 5, or any of the other 100's of freeview channels, you have to pay it. If you watch Sky you have to pay it. Educate yourself.

The other issue with the @bbceurovision geoblock is in normal years, the semis are on BBC Three; not available in HD in Scotland or Wales on Freeview. So these viewers have no way to watch in HD.

@cutex24 Hi. It may be worth a re-tune if you've not tried that already. If you are still having problems it may be worth contacting Freeview themselves: Problems watching Freeview | Freeview
