  • Bermudgirl Marilyn McCubbin (@Bermudgirl) reported from Netley, England

    @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 🙁

    Strange how on FreeView the crap programs don’t have adverts yet those that maybe of interest are riddled with them making you turn over to YouTube

  • JPFerguson89 John Ferguson (@JPFerguson89) reported

    @jmwainey_88 Get channel 601 on freeview different commentary. **** listening to him off lad u will end up depressed

  • gilbertxgreen Gilbert_Green (@gilbertxgreen) reported

    @brianmoore666 Could it be as simple as what channel it is on? I make no excuses for it, only that I never if ever watch the channels on freeview above 114 (where MY HD channels finish) & don't have kids so 200+ i'm not interested in

  • RealRondale Rondale (@RealRondale) reported

    Seeing hella people moaning about ITV hub being down lol, get Freeview it's free 🤦🏾

  • nhs_groverhaus Spooks Malloy (@nhs_groverhaus) reported

    @LamentablyAwake @BierStarmer @BareLeft This is the problem though, a Unite channel will just be all the same people but now on freeview for some reason.

  • Steven__C Steven C 🌳 (@Steven__C) reported

    @calexico65 Where I am there was always a poor signal back in the day. I remember my dad had a 500ft high aerial nailed to the side of the house at one point. Now it’s on Freeview but tbh I never watch it. In my defence I rarely watch NI News either.

  • omamoll Mary Gregory (@omamoll) reported

    @PanasonicUK I have Panasonic TX-40GX700B (2019) 40 inch, 4K Ultra HD, HDR Freeview Play Smart TV P39U921** Which keeps refusing to pick up signal from aerial and internet, I’ve registered but your website won’t recognise let me in. Most frustrating and annoying all round.🤬

  • Goldflazz1986 Strangeways»here»we»come»🚚 (@Goldflazz1986) reported

    The man who invented Freeview Play has died, a memorial service will take place tomorrow at 10am, it will be repeated an hour later, and also next Wednesday at 12:30 and again on Saturday at 3:45.

    Videochat love? Please note I don't offer freeview verification  but I can send my Twitter link my chat service is performed on Whastsapp, viber or Skype only Working till 10pm

  • UVoltmi Uri Voltmi (@UVoltmi) reported

    @Patriotic253 @StefGotBooted @tomhfh Anyone working for GB “News” deserves to be pilloried. The quality is dreadful all round; presenters, guests, pictures, & sound. I’m sure I’ve seen better quality 16mm film, & if you can hear sound (which you can’t on Freeview) the quality is poor. I’d be embarrassed to be on it
