    @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 🙁

    @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.

    @RobLinaker Hi Rob, That would be lovely. However, the Freeview mobile app is only available on mobile devices and Freeview Play is only available on Freeview Play TVs and boxes. I'll certainly pass on your interest in the service being added to the Amazon Cube. Thanks C

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @Stop_The_Panic @Icky_84 Hi, The best way to find out is it may have the Freeview logo on the back of the TV. Otherwise, you can google your make and model number of the TV or contact the manufacturer for further support. Thanks, Dev.

    @eddiepitman The EE TV service has actually been switched off from 31st March I'm afraid and no longer work. This includes Freeview channels and access to on demand apps. Any recordings you currently have will no longer be available and cannot be saved or transferred to another device. -Mark

    I’ve sent a third email to the building management about our lack of freeview signal. I have left out the part about where I am unable to watch Talking Pictures and CBS Drama and it’s pissing me off now.
