    @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.

    So poor I khan only dream freeview 😳

  • sophiejdalston ///expired ferrania/// 📸 (@sophiejdalston) reported

    @AllieDocious @SloaneFragment Freeview boxes still work I think so that would enable a digital signal to be played on an analogue tv, but the question is how they connected it.

  • Colin08302719 Colin (@Colin08302719) reported

    @GBNEWS Sacked and a years hard labour. They need to dedicate their lives to charity causes and never be seen again. I have removed ITV from freeview.

  • JulieSmith2001 Julie Smith (@JulieSmith2001) reported

    Is anyone else loosing Freeview TV signal tonight in the North West? I keep getting a message saying the channel is scrambled.

  • jamestestarossa James Turner (@jamestestarossa) reported

    @bt_uk Not a freeview issue. Picture is currently doing it and the Home menu is not viewable due to the distortion so unable to check signal strength. Plugged aerial in direct to TV and absolutely fine.

  • Seatz37 Tom Hollick (@Seatz37) reported

    @andyps1275 Some obscure freeview channel I didn’t see the name of! Quite the treat - not seen in years!
