    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.

    @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 🙁

    UPDATE: *QVC has confirmed its HD channels are leaving Freeview, but viewers can still watch high quality streams of all its channels through the red button on channel 16. *Together is set to move onto a DTAS service on Channel 274. *Quest HD will close on June 30th.

  • FWestfield Francis Westfield (@FWestfield) reported

    Is the service down webpage states no problems with freeview today. Odd as my signal still has not returned. If this continues for one more week I will dispense with my TV licence and watch DVD's and videos and use my laptop.

    More problems with freeview, reported today. Phew, not just my reception then.

  • FWestfield Francis Westfield (@FWestfield) reported

    Freeview, on their webpage, state they were having issues since 6am today. No , it started at 4.20pm GMT yesterday. My watching of tennis at Queens had just started. Ryan had just started playing. Had to catch up with data only on my phone.

  • FWestfield Francis Westfield (@FWestfield) reported

    My TV aerial feels lonely, first the analogue signal gone, now no digital freeview signal for two days. You would think they would have a backup.

  • IAmJamesLowe James Lowe (@IAmJamesLowe) reported

    Anybody else in #sheffield having issues with freeview reception? I have next to no channels. I’ve tried rescanning on 2 devices plugged into 2 separate antennae and it’s the same story on both.

  • FWestfield Francis Westfield (@FWestfield) reported

    Freeview have an outage map with latest UK areas with reception problems. However, those areas mentioned yesterday are dropped from the map. I still have no freeview signal. Still no explanation or apology. Day two.
