    @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 🙁

  • MarkBentley1966 Mark Bentley (@MarkBentley1966) reported

    @BooOMeringue @BumblingD I live very near to this house. Internet here is very poor. 8mb at ours. No Freeview signal to speak of either, plus we don't even have mains gas. There are many other benefits though.

  • bbchw BBC H and W (@bbchw) reported

    Due to a transmitter fault, we are currently off on FM in the Herefordshire area. You can still listen on DAB, online or via Freeview. Engineers are working on resuming service.

  • unit_korg Korg Unit 🇬🇧🇧🇻🇺🇸 (@unit_korg) reported

    @Huddert @jacquelineter17 Why are y'all even watching the bbc. Let them spout their sh*te into a void. GB News on Freeview Channel 236 is broadcasting soon. Get your TV re-tuned if it does not show the test signal. Enjoy.

  • Co1Mary Mary Cook (@Co1Mary) reported

    @TruthOls @Reuters CNN is not available on Freeview TV, I don't pay for a subscription service and I don't watch news online.

  • beezly Andrew Beresford (@beezly) reported

    Anyone else getting weird audio problems with @BBCLookNorth on BBC1 Freeview from Emley Moor transmitter?

  • proogs Peter Scandrett (@proogs) reported

    @jimmygulp Good example of the issue: Last Friday eve, WILTY, BBC1, Freeview guide starts "Rob Brydon is back in the host’s chair for a brand new series". S13, ep1. Problem is that S14 has aired recently, and it's blatantly not a new series.
