    @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.

    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.

  • 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 🙁

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • joeylk71 Joanne Gray (@joeylk71) reported

    @dramachannel Yes, but to no avail. It's the dreadful Freeview/DAB signal in my area. Trying to listen to digital radio is just as frustrating and virtually impossible too.

  • peteprodge Pete Prodge (@peteprodge) reported

    @NoSpinZone_ @QuidVeritas A reach in a week of just a million is incredibly bad for a channel on Freeview, satellite and cable. No wonder Paw Patrol IN WELSH gets an audience over five times their size!

  • sarahjaneparton Sarah Jane Teurakura Parton (@sarahjaneparton) reported

    Hey there, funny question: my folks have moved to Levin and they can’t get Māori TV to work on Freeview on their new TV. It just goes from channel 4 to channel 6 and no channel 15. My bro reckons you can’t get Māori TV everywhere due to reception issues. Is this true? Surely not?

  • bl0ke a humorously-shaped potato (@bl0ke) reported

    @virginmedia I believe it's a V6 TiVo box. Output has always been quieter than the same channel on Freeview but trying to watch the film #Yesterday... uh.. yesterday.. was terrible. Had to set the TV to 90% to get a decent sound level.

  • frazerjon fraser (@frazerjon) reported

    Heavy downpour has interrupted my sky signal. Had to go to freeview.

  • KimFraserGreen Kim Green (@KimFraserGreen) reported

    @JustMissEmma Hope you're feeling a bit better. If you want to watch 'Whistle Down the Wind', it's on this Friday at 8am (on Talking Pictures freeview channel 82 I think)! Really worth a watch. It's a classic☺

  • dazzalaa17 Dazzalaa (@dazzalaa17) reported

    @Yorkshire_Pics @arqiva Worst service provider I've ever come across. They can't prove basic software solutions to smets2 smart meters and on top of that they they can't provide a reliable steaming service on Freeview. How on earth were they awarded the contract to provide these services is beyond me!

  • HNM_WClark Will Clark (@HNM_WClark) reported

    Just wondering if anyone in Inverness has had problems with their freeview signal in Inverness in recent days? BBC channels are fine but everything else is crap. Don’t want to climb on to roof to fiddle with aerial. My block of flats are three floors high.

  • Gavarnos Gav Mac  (@Gavarnos) reported

    @IanDunt Having a decent Freeview roof aerial & amplifier really does help. The ITV HD channel is an improvement. I have epic internet & their streaming quality is horrifically bad; just watched the Denmark game I missed yesterday it’s garbage!
