    @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.

    @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 🙁

  • peteprodge Pete Prodge (@peteprodge) reported

    @leefreshprince I have a Sony Bravia which claims to allow Freeview recording to USB media, but doesn't. It can certainly read USB media but I've never got it to write. Streaming allows me to pause and rewind, unlike my main linear TV.

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV The move from the Freeview HD multiplex to the SD one was much appreciated. As was the addition of a subtitling service to your channel : )

  • yuffienator rye .?! (@yuffienator) reported

    @VentiGirlboss ITS NOT MY FAULT MY MUM NEVER PAID PAST FREEVIEW TV

  • Kathy_landeg59 Kathryn Landeg (@Kathy_landeg59) reported

    Freeview is down agian I'm losing channels

  • James__Parr James Parr (@James__Parr) reported

    @Shires_Rich We should start a petition to get Star Trek aired on freeview tv so that anyone can watch it without having to pay for a premium streaming service.

  • yetanotherevans Laura Evans (@yetanotherevans) reported

    After watching TV exclusively on catch-up for almost a decade we've got ourselves a Freeview box and let me tell you I was not ready for the emotional onslaught that is the Christmas adverts. My poor pathetic heartstrings

  • Shaunaskins121 Shaun askins (@Shaunaskins121) reported

    @SkyNews More shite tv to put up with am glad freeview still not working properly won't have to watch this crap

  • jpc101 James Cooper (@jpc101) reported

    @MEFoggyDog At 3pm on ‘Great Movies’ (ch 33 on Freeview) today it’s ‘A Puppy for Christmas’. It’s one of those Xmas movies that are “so bad they’re good”!!! Cheesetastic would be another word for it.
