    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.

    @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 🙁

  • 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.

  • mkquinn68 mark quinn (@mkquinn68) reported

    Apparently it’s on the red button channel on Freeview !?!? Still a terrible decision BBC !!!!

  • electrichoover Electrifed Hoover (@electrichoover) reported

    @orelduderino @Danlassman Is your TV remote broken? at least 200+ channels to choose from on Freeview (900+ if your lucky)

  • jojomci Jojom 💚🤍💜 (@jojomci) reported

    @SODASam_ @virginmedia You wont miss them Sam. Honestly Virgin are the worst company. So many better ones out there. Its a gift! for landline and internet Zen are superb. Freeview works fine for us.

  • CraigMason Craig Mason (@CraigMason) reported

    I love all the drama from people complaining about the emergency alerts... "I DIDN'T CONSENT!". It's a broadcast. The gvt doesn't have access to your phone via emergency alerts. It's as intrusive as the BBC Freeview signal. Keep the alerts on. They could save your life.

  • SarahGrimshaw_x Sarah Grimshaw (@SarahGrimshaw_x) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Our JVC smart TV will only let us change channels if we go onto the Freeview Play Guide, it won’t change if we just type in the number using the remote (remote works for everything else. Any help please? We’ve also got an issue with bbc iPlayer not working.

  • Daverjr David_bythesea (@Daverjr) reported

    @paraman31 @DrHoenderkamp Even digital TVs when they need a rescan can cause issues. I help a handful of people out with this task when their freeview tv or box doesn’t auto update…many don’t.

  • OooAuto Gita Renik (@OooAuto) reported

    @itvcorrie disappointed that I'll never be able to catch up at the weekend... OAP with freeview not considered worthy 🥴

  • JamesTurner37 James Turner KC (@JamesTurner37) reported

    @paulhunter62 I’d never heard of the channel until my sister told me - it’s a Freeview channel, apparently. As for the film, who knows! 🤷🏻

  • john_service @johnservice@mastodon.social (@john_service) reported

    @MarkDob_ Oh really? Suppose Jarrett knows the value of a good TV deal in the UK from Impact’s run on Challenge. Challenge airing in FreeView was a huge help in drawing those big houses for TNA in the UK during the first half of the 2010s
