@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 🙁

@arjoll @paulbrislen Too much distance and crap in the way, LoS is really bad due to terrain and trees. Can't even get Freeview HD - have to use the crap satellite version lol. Literally in my IT nightmare hellscape geographically. Gaming on ADSL2+ is painful, gaming + streaming = nogo.

@FreeviewAdvice The Freeview picture signal cuts out frequently every day for several seconds. The signal in this area is terrible. Sometimes it is almost impossible to watch a freeview program because of continual picture losses. My postcode is TN10 4NE and house number is 48

@AdamDraper So true. I discovered recently that home VR headsets have been available since 2016, and a survey some time ago provided my first knowledge of them. Up until then I have never seen them advertised on Freeview channels, in free newspapers, or out and about. Conclusion: they're...
