    @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.

    @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 🙁

    @reformexposed Ooh maybe because if the bbc were forced to go subscription, it would get rid of freeview, funded by the tv licence, so to watch tv you would have to pay a blooming fortune on a subscription service?

    @ChrisGPackham Then let them pay for it. Why do I pay for a service I do not use. Maybe 10years ago I could agree but Freeview and Prime/Netflix no reason for BBC.

    @DaveWeet @GBNEWS So tell me do you have Wi Fi and a Smart TV? Do you pay for satellite Sky or whatever? I don't want those I just want basic Freeview wired and never watch BBC on principal.
