    @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.

  • 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 🙁

    @beverleyturner @virginmedia Its a crap service anyway. Switch to BT or freeview.

  • a11who Gary Percival (@a11who) reported

    @TPTVEncore Hi folks. This may be a silly question but does the red button service work on a Freeview TV that isn't connected to wi-fi? My brother lives in north Wales and can get @TalkingPicsTV but has no wi-fi or even a landline. Should he be able to use the red button still?

  • stevend43829773 Steven43829773 (@stevend43829773) reported

  • Bodyfirst_PT Lee Webb (@Bodyfirst_PT) reported

    @beverleyturner @virginmedia Mine is going up £15, I shall be seeking someone else to provide my internet and cutting down on my channels to just Freeview

  • DMarkymarc DJ_Markymarc 💙 👏😷🚀 (@DMarkymarc) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice hi can you help, we seem to have lost our Freeview analogue signal. And it looks like the problem is on the transmitter side.

  • SS401 Paul Rogers 🇺🇦 🜃 (@SS401) reported

    Our Freeview has completely crashed - no signal on any channel. Is it just us? @AboutEG

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @Dianne1963 @TPTVEncore Hi Dianne, the red button works on TVs that are connected to the internet. If yours is connected to the internet and it still isn't working, please give the Freeview helpline a ring at 03456 505050 and they should be able to advise you further. Thanks for the all the support!

  • Wyfan2 The Wilder Way - Patrick Wymark Boardroom (@Wyfan2) reported

    @RosalynConnors @RodneyMarshall1 You tell me..I've had Freeview freeze and black out like a signal problem before, but this seemed to be a continuous freeze frame right after saying, "shoot the first man that moves" (like a prank) and then a smooth cut to the next scene.

  • feetsby Colin Troy 🇺🇦 (@feetsby) reported

    @NMBCo @hardistymark Pretty sure East Midlands Today is a standard definition signal slapped into an HD channel. Just got freeview to save money, back to the ol’ ‘High Def not available in your area’ message. If we want to see our news broadcasters in high def, we have to see them down the pub.
