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.

@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 🙁

@d0hertyry4n @TomRafferty4 Well of course it isn’t. Yes. You said on your other tweet that you think only Freeview viewers (the elderly and poor) should pay. 👍

@WonPeople Nothing you can’t watch a repeat of on any other freeview channel. Never listen to any BBC radio either.

I have contempt for Freeview which expanded tonight when I switched to the Drama Chanel to watch what I thought would be a new "The Last Detective". True to form Freeview, this incompetent producer of rubbish TV was putting out yet another repeat. Close Freeview Down.

@woblis Terrible long term customer outlook. If I left for a month and came back, I'd get it for £50 a month. I think we'll go Freeview, like you say, in case we miss something, but I think the last two years has seen a huge change from live to streaming in our household.

@TalkingPicsTV @justinionn @SkyUK That's a shame - I only got Sky Glass due to getting-a-dish issues and poor Freeview signal. Hope they think again!

Just because we’re in a “universal broadcasting bad place”, is not an excuse not to bite the bullet and move to a subscription model to fund the BBC. Yes, some people reliant on Freeview will lose out, that’s life! There are other ways to enjoy life, go 2 the pub, church, mosque

@jamesdoeser @bectu @MegaphoneUK The problem as most media are discussing, no viable alternative has been proposed handling issues of vast amount of free-to-air radio & television the BBC broadcasts, with no infra-structure technology that would enable any kind of charging mechanism for radio or freeview

@itvnews I complained about that awful erectile disfunction advert that appears on some Freeview channels, sometimes in the day & at teatimes, when kids will be watching & they didn't do anything! They said it was fine. It's not nice when young grandkids ask what erectile disfunction is!

@mashcore4mums @a516digital I know that Channels are move down one EPG number on Freeview on January 26th. I have not seen news on BBC ONE HD England channels being moving to Channel 101 on January 26th on Virgin Media. When BBC ONE HD Scot. was moving I did see info screen about the move for a week before

@duffaSteve Most 5G is far away from Freeview frequencies. But band 28 (700MHz) is starting to be used by O2, 3 and EE, using frequencies either side of those used by COM7. Cellmapper is a useful app showing you which bands are in use by your mobile network in the area.
