    @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 🙁

    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.

    @RMGLUCK2017 @Legend__Channel wow, another freeview candidate... as the hollanders never tire of saying, interressant...

  • dook42_domini Dook 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇳🇿 (@dook42_domini) reported

    @Trailer_Swift69 if using #freeview your lucky it's even watchable - since they removed the wavebands to 5G, it's been close to unwatchable for myself for the signal strength.. returned to the 1970's - about 3 watchable channels.

  • StephenAkehurs1 Stephen Akehurst (@StephenAkehurs1) reported

    @ThatTimWalker @skytv Was thinking of cancelling Sky and going back to Freeview as never anything on worth watching. This just about confirms it!

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @GarryLavin Most Freeview connected TVs and set top boxes can receive the service.

  • Lundavra JMB (@Lundavra) reported

    @sophielouisecc I have never seen GBNews, mainly because we have no coverage here from it on Freeview Lite. But I have never spoken to anyone who has watched it?

  • JoannaClarke158 Joanna Clarke (@JoannaClarke158) reported

    @GBNEWS The problem with Freeview 236 is the signal is so poor, with unwatchable screen and unlistenable sound. I wish you could make it like the others.

  • Posyfish James Fisher 🐾 (@Posyfish) reported

    @wil20198865 @beverleyturner Doesn't the licence fee also support freeview and freesat that GB News depends on?

  • VincentVanGrump vintendo BS (@VincentVanGrump) reported

    @afneil Why are you lot so ******* obsessed with shite from a century ago. You watch a History Channel documentary on Freeview and think you're all Whinston Churchill. Put the bunting down. You weren't even alive. YOU personally didn't win **** all. Learn from extremism. Be better.

  • themikei mikey (@themikei) reported

    @CyclingScience1 @JHesterdrums @lavuelta If you're watching on Freeview then there's nothing that can be done, the spectrum available for the service has been reduced and some channels removed, that's down to decisions made by the British government.
