    @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.

    @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 🙁

    @BorisJohnson People in rural Devon mid have stone-age broadband, trickle water supplies, no mains sewage, no mobile signal, no freeview signal, no public transport, but plenty of potholes and powercuts. And you want to provide football pitches with taxpayer money?

    @Philips I bought a 50PUS7556/12 50inch 4K UHD LED SMART TV WiFi Dolby Atmos Freeview HD in December (registered it with you) & since the beginning, the TV does not do anything when pressing the remote (but the red light flashes per push) for up to 3/4 minutes. Please can u help?

    @GMB @GCGodfrey I have 2 pieces of good advice, cancel expensive Sky subscriptions and Mobil contracts, change to Freeview and pay as you go.

  • rowec1 Chris (@rowec1) reported

    @kronosarm @Steveonstradey @fesshole English regions HD need to be on Freeview, FreeSat and Sky. Plus backups. Plus switching at network junction points. Plus upgrading regional studios to HD (cameras, edit, play out). Massive expense for 28 mins at 6:30 and 3 x 6 min bulletins. That, or quality content?

  • VikShah Vik (yeah, that one) 💙 (@VikShah) reported

    @timglanfield Very much depends on the price of the service and whether there's anything else on the channel to justify it. If it was included with Prime or Netflix then yes, but maybe not if it's on something naff like BritBox. I'd rather it went to a Freeview channel such as E4.

  • DarrylTypeR Darryl (@DarrylTypeR) reported

    @virginmedia hey, quick question, if i cancel my contract do i still get to keep the virgin box? And would i still be able to watch freeview channels through it? Thanks.

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @lastminutelin If you are still experiencing problems you will need to speak to the Freeview helpline as the retune should have been all that was needed. Freeview advice line on 03456 505050

  • mecafolidas Mark Foley (@mecafolidas) reported

    @RupertLowe10 Are you thick or just determined to keep on spreading BS? It's impossible under for the BBC to become a subscription service because you CAN'T charge under subscriptions via Freeview - which is how most access TV. Any change would be a Tax to support local radio & TV Advertising
