    @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 🙁

    @karlbeeby @Vlad42250421 @SueSaffa If that's what this dictatorship wants to do, then let's go for a subscription/lo advertising mix, ditch the regional & BBC World functions, slim down a bit, gain real independence, less Interence & Gov can deal with Freeview & pensioners subscriptions. BBC still a global brand.

    Now got 43 channels and the signal is even worse. Sort your crap FreeView!

  • roasty88 Ryan McVeigh (@roasty88) reported

    @WrestlingCG1 @SCN_channel I would say that counts. on Freeview it is Channel 265 which should bring you to the vod365 menu and then you just search from there. Just a warning but I think the menu is absolutely awful to navigate.

    @InspireAndStyle Hi, Karen. If you're getting FVP-300 on all Freeview Play players, check to see if there's a software update available for your Freeview Play device. If you've done an update and the player are still not launching on the TV, contact the devices manufacturer for support

  • muder1308 Glamking1 (@muder1308) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV @UKChristmasTV I wish it would come to Freeview Play as that would be cool of me sitting down to watch repeats of Budgie after the news on a Saturday night which would be every goodie’s treat

  • AuntieSyzygy Auntie 🫐 (@AuntieSyzygy) reported

    @grahamlaurie1 oh yes, that's freeview 9 for me. I should've looked there. on web iplayer it is clocked as BBC1 - why can't they make navigation easy!? grr. never mind, here we are, hooray!

  • TomSingleton4 Tom 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌻 (@TomSingleton4) reported

    FreeView is the most pointless load of crap ever.

  • HaylaMohannad hayla mohannad (@HaylaMohannad) reported

    SkyNews: Boris Johnson is being urged to use PMQs today as a "golden opportunity" to issue an apology over his claim that Sir Keir Starmer failed to prosecute Jimmy Savile. Health Minister Ed Argar joins #KayBurley to discuss. 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

  • Outside_Margina Outside The Marginals (@Outside_Margina) reported

    How many channels does #C4 have on Freeview? Why can't they run their flagship news program (part of their Public Service) on time on the flagship channel? #c4news

  • sussexterrier Kevin Beaumont (@sussexterrier) reported

    @stevebone1 @leethommo 82 freeview - do re-runs of great series. Currently re-running "Secret Army", which was an 80s series about getting British aircrew back to Blighty when they have been shot down. Allo, Allo was a comedy based on it.
