  • 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 🙁

  • 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.

    @CaptainKramer @SkyHelpTeam @GBNEWS Freeview 236? Crap picture quality but still eminently better than the other news outlets.

  • man_dobro DobroMan (@man_dobro) reported

    @MarcherLord1 @GBNEWS Freeview 236, crap picture but better than nithing

  • muswell_boy Ian Worrell (@muswell_boy) reported

    @redskyatnight Actually supporting your point. Not least in 1936 launching the first TV service was the equivalent of launching/owning the whole Internet v a poky little Freeview/YouTube clipshow you could do on an iPhone

  • DJMidarezaki DJ Midarezaki, Esq. 🇬🇧🇭🇰➡️ #LivesMatter (@DJMidarezaki) reported

    @Gbeebies If you're watching on Freeview the picture quality is likely down to most streams on the commercial multiplexes being transmitted at 544x576 then stretched to 16x9 to keep bandwidth down (thus sell more channel slots). This is down to the multiplex operator, not the channels.

    @GBNEWS @afneil Such a shame you’re all the way down the freeview channels on no.236 while the BBC are still squatting on the defunct BBC3 freeview channel no.7… Maybe after the teething troubles are sorted this is something to aspire to? Kindest regards

  • paulfoulkesyork pʰɔːɫ faʊks (@paulfoulkesyork) reported

    @RacingFlamingo @i_horseracing oooooh. It's not HD on Freeview but that might be me... thanks, will see if I can fix that.

  • allybalder alan watson (@allybalder) reported

    @mgtruth Had Sky Q for yonks - never a prob - except when weather bad to the south east - switch to freeview

  • tremolo_ erin (@tremolo_) reported

    frenziedly sending death threats to ikea because they pulled advertising from the **** freeview news channel i have to pretend to like to own the lefties

  • JasonKingHQ Paul Newman (@JasonKingHQ) reported

    @Mike_Heff @ungawa_chairman That's a shame. Freeview is as much an anyone really needs, anything extra is just showing off. Oh hang on, I do get Netflix. But never watch it

  • FridayMinus My name is Matt (maybe) (@FridayMinus) reported

    @WotNot5 @GBNewsFails I've just been Googling about it - apparently they're having some problems on Freeview even after retuning (which is what I did). Everything about GB News just oozes high quality.
