    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 🙁

  • 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.

    I’ve rescanned FreeView 10 times already this evening and keep getting 23 channels. The last time I rescanned was before Christmas last year and managed to over 100 channels. Sort your crap out FreeView!

    So poor I khan only dream freeview 😳

  • JayThomasWAFC Jonathan (@JayThomasWAFC) reported

    @BazakeMedia @TreborRhurbarb He was watching the game on Freeview and not a subscription service. These people are leeches on society so need to be dissolved in salt.

  • HaylaMohannad hayla mohannad (@HaylaMohannad) reported

    SkyNews: Boris Johnson is being urged to use PMQs today as a "golden opportunity" to issue an apology over his claim that Sir Keir Starmer failed to prosecute Jimmy Savile. Health Minister Ed Argar joins #KayBurley to discuss. 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

    @FreeviewTV My freeview down all day. Just went off at 9sm this morning and still off. Have tried retuning etc no success! York area. What is the problem?

  • BameWiltshire BAME in Wiltshire (@BameWiltshire) reported

    @NHSuk @bbchealth People should not have to 'Search, better health NHS' on Freeview. The BBC should provide a 24 hour channel especially for people with poor access to the Internet & who work long hours. The UK could have uniform, consistent, upto date, World standard information

  • swansonian Graeme Swanson (@swansonian) reported

    I’ve tried to set up my mum’s new Freeview box and it’s not working. I suspect it’s me not the box. Everything online about it brushes over it in a way that suggests only the very stupid wouldn’t know how to do it.

  • TomSingleton4 Tom 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌻 (@TomSingleton4) reported

    FreeView is the most pointless load of crap ever.
