@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.

@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 🙁

BBC3's audience is all online. Going linear won't help it's terrible ratings. BBC4's target demographic are all linear consumers. Killing-off BBC4 to keep BBC3 on Freeview makes absolutely zero sense.

@AlexGAThomas This is really nicely put. We have been here before though, when the beeb threatened to cut Asian Network and 6 Music. After an outcry they seemed to settle down to the usual salami slicing. Also the strange return of BBC3 to freeview.

@RespectIsVital @BBC I was lucky enough to have freeview throughout growing up and it's saddening that other generations won't.... Idk if this could be any help at all but perhaps a dvd player. You can get dvds pretty cheap at charity shops and library's. It won't be the same obviously but may help

@mippy I assume the transmission platform side of the costs the same no matter where the content comes from. I think it’s on DAB and satellite? And Freeview? So they probably want to slim that down.

@MikeReadUK @TalkingPicsTV It’s a wonderful series but I struggle with it as there are no subtitles on Freeview. (Hint!) Any chance an observation by yourselves might kick such essential support into action so I can really enjoy it without missing chunks of conversation?

@gerardjasper This begs the question: Since you can't receive the entirety of BBC's broadcasts through generic DVB-T2 equipment (you need a special "Freeview HD" receiver), why not encrypt the service and give subscribers a CAM module to watch it? Let's see how many really want to pay for it.

@CBeebiesHQ What’s happening to CBeebies HD on freeview next month? Seen a news article saying the transmitter it on being shut down?

With more freeview channels being shut down and mainstream channels and production companies seeking only programmes and subjects which appeal to the lowest common denominator, it's more apparent than ever why platforms like YouTube are able to bridge that information gap.

@JANUSZCZAK All I can say is that I used to watch it in HD about ten years ago back when I had a Sky sub, and in SD on freeview it was awful in comparison. I still have recordings of it from back then... And I do think your shows are a good example of something that benefits from HD.

BBC3's audience is all online. Going linear won't compensate for low-quality content. BBC3 failed online, it'll fail on Freeview. BBC4's target demographic are all linear consumers, they do like the content. Killing-off BBC4 to keep BBC3 on Freeview makes absolutely zero sense.
