    @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 🙁

    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.

  • 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.

    @ebdxo Do you have access to it? If you don’t have access to satellite TV, you don’t need a license. But if you have freeview or anything where you could watch the BBC then you still need it. It’s ****, I barely ever watch BBC 🙄

  • harriet_austin Harriet Austin (@harriet_austin) reported

    @btbusinesscare as a new customer very disappointed with the customer service I have been receiving. Following a 2 weeks wait to receive WiFi and broadband, Freeview channels do not work despite reassurance it would with the WiFi connected. When we called the...1/2

    What on earth has happened to #Freeview? No signal.

  • smileykirstie Kirstie Wright (@smileykirstie) reported

    @Mr_Sanch We have ours separate to have more flexibility. We just took out broadband with virgin for £24 a month for 100/mbps (I think) and then just use Freeview plus our Roku and other streaming apps for the rest of our tv. Rather than paying for channels we never use..

  • GurrAnthony anthony gurr (@GurrAnthony) reported

    @DougRobersonAJC Hi Doug I’m trying to find a channel to watch the Atlanta soccer game tonight. Are there any freeview channels I could try . Can you help please . Tony

  • DaveyBoi73 Dave ♿️ Esq (@DaveyBoi73) reported

    @MarkBlackmore33 @StuartYoung001 @RealPaulMartin I only have the virgin media version of freeview so it's not worth me asking for the new box. If I could find a great stable streaming service for free then I would get rid of the VM TV.

  • LesMalpas Les Malpas (@LesMalpas) reported from Truro, England

    @MarkBlackmore33 Right. You poor sod. I use Freeview. If anybody knocks on the door they get tolled to get away.

  • soxxylady Sharon 🦋 (@soxxylady) reported

    @SonyMoviesUK why is the sound always dodgy on freeview channel. Trying to watch karate kid 3 and the sound is crap

  • Adjie16077 Claire Menzies (@Adjie16077) reported

    @Ofcom Fed Up with watching TV full of rubbish to many reality TV and full of too many daily repeats. Freeview lies about new series that are just moved repeated on different channels. When are we going to receive good news every day instead of constant bad news?
