    @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 🙁

    @FreeviewTV @FreeviewAdvice cont. So I have to select London region with bad reception to enable me to select series to record without the duplication eg 103 & 803 for an ITV series recording. BT says this is a Freeview upgrade.

  • Kathy_landeg59 Kathryn Landeg (@Kathy_landeg59) reported

    Freeview is down agian I'm losing channels

  • jeannie_pie Jeannie pie (@jeannie_pie) reported

    @FreeviewTV @FreeviewAdvice why has the freeview guides changed to show multiple regions? I select SE(Kent) region, but can also get London. London mast reception bad. New menu causes recording series duplication! Continued

    @RTUKnews I'm probably slow here, but what happened to the news on Freeview? (RT international is on as ever) But RT UK would be on from 3pm - but, only realised, not seen it on in a while. 🤔

  • roasty88 Ryan McVeigh (@roasty88) reported

    @Danny_Acklam @StarTrek When I'm guessing is march 2022 at earliest in the new Paramount plus streaming service. I would say if we put enough pressure on they might put it @paramountnet_uk on Freeview for now until streaming is available.

    And it think it’s terrible that the other home nations can watch their team on Freeview, yet if the Scots want to see one of the best Scottish teams ever, they have to fork out for a sky sports subscription. Sort this out and get the games on the BBC or STV @ScottishFA

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    @FernRiddell I totally forgot about this... damn the lack of a +1 on Freeview! Though I do have this on HD DVD (because all the cool people have HD DVD)

  • DJLujoso DJ Lujoso (@DJLujoso) reported

    Hehe.. I have worked out a way to get in & out of the ULEZ undetected. Gonna go scope it out in a bit. Trouble is, if it fails I'll have to pay TFL twelve quid & I won't know if it works for three days... Beats sitting in watching freeview, eh?
