    @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 🙁

    @FreeviewTV Would love to if the entire freeview network was not down.

  • BinningAndy Andy Binning (@BinningAndy) reported

    @skytv Sky Glass is utter ****. You cannot choose to record anything, any singular event or episode until the provider (BBC, ITV, 4, Etc) releases it to the Gen-Public, if at all. SkyQ / TiVo records whatever you want. I'm left in Freeview world. Obscene. You should be ashamed

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @sgordon_the87 @russty_russ The signal was very weak at the time, I bought a DTT set top from Currys just before Freeview launched. ITV2 was on-air from 2.35pm - midnight. Aside from that, little else from them. ITN News Channel unusually aired on the platform from 6am - 9.25am.

    @IanGrant_edwest @BBCScotland Do you know the worst part you have to pay bbc before you can pay sky or bt or virgin or even freeview

  • Johnjac86130202 John jackson (@Johnjac86130202) reported

    @MerielMyers I don't buy any streaming. I sometimes look at programme listings and see it's 99% utter dross . Freeview and standard TV channels provide enough crap without paying for more.

    @LiamcBakes your series of #GBBO is showing now on Food Network, Freeview 42.
