    @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 🙁

    Help!! @LTA @DavisCup How can I watch live the matches starting today in Glasgow? (Either on freeview TV or by free livestream)

  • paulwebster Paul Webster (@paulwebster) reported

    Impressed to see that @TalkingPicsTV now has a Freeview Red Button service. HbbTV (Freeview Play) so older TVs might not work - and requires Internet connection.

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    @a516digital Brilliant, thank you. For some reason the BBC seem slow or reluctant to update their listings which for programmes not broadcast makes my Freeview box give a "recording failed due to power loss" error.

  • JonesCitizen1 CitizenSmith@JonesCitizen (@JonesCitizen1) reported

    @SuperCroup Yes but the stuff for free on YouTube is not to my taste and usually crap. What's Kanopy, not on Freeview. I suppose I could put on a videotape.

    @I__W______ Plenty of stuff down in the corners of freeview telly.

  • themikeandrew Mike Andrew (@themikeandrew) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice might be a stupid question but how do I know if I can get Freeview on my TV? I have a Sony 2021 Google tv. Does it require an Aerial or scan via internet? Doesn't seem to be an app available. 🤦🏻🤔 I have sky but no Aerial to connect.

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    I notice that on the Freeview guide Hits Radio have scheduled 'Special Announcement' for tomorrow too. Radio City is part of the Hits Radio network. Source: Freeview guide.

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @Prof_Nostalgia @TPTVEncore @freesat_tv It's just Freeview for now. We cannot make promises but will continue to consider all possibilities for the future development of the service whenever possible.

  • langtoftlad langtoftlad (@langtoftlad) reported

    @SimonMcCoyTV I do think there's been an awful lot of filler but it's not as if the BBC doesn't have three other channels, and there must be 50+ other freeview channels if one cannot tolerate the blanket coverage of the passing of a monarch who has reigned 70 years.
