    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.

  • BurnipG Geoff Burnip (@BurnipG) reported

    @itvhubhelp ITV hub will not load on Freeview Play on my Panasonic tv or Humax pvr, is this just double bad luck? Not a smart move from itv as there must be many viewers like me. Will a different pvr play through my tv, if so which one.

  • SydneyCityTV SydneyCityTV (@SydneyCityTV) reported

    @whophd @meadea @domknight From what I've read, onDigital/ITV Digital was plagued with reception and piracy issues however overbidding for TV rights to a lower division football league was their biggest downfall. Although in a way, the failure of it + the later rise of Freeview was probably a good thing.

  • JHorb1 John Horb 💙🇺🇦 (@JHorb1) reported

    @ITVXhelp @Loochst3r Apparently, due to last minute technical issues, could be a few weeks before ITVX is available on some Freeview boxes, eg Manhattan.

  • Christi34653250 Christine Scott (@Christi34653250) reported from Longbenton, England

    @ITVX I wish I could or that Freeview took on this network a lot of us on pensions can't afford satalite or cable

    Oh good so no @ITVX on @FreeviewTV then? #ItvHin refuses to load. Seems an odd decision not to support freeview!

  • m44rte Martin (@m44rte) reported

    @madebygoogle does your Google TV support Freeview app in UK. The web seems to suggest yes but I can't find the app

  • philrandal Phil Randal (@philrandal) reported from Herefordshire, England

    Not at all surprised to find that @itvx is a pile of rubbish. Not integrated into Freeview Play's TV guide, no Channel list in the app's UI, so using it for catch up is a pain in the neck. Didn't they do any usability tests? Unbelievably bad. That's if it loads... #itvx

    @IPhillips79 Reminds me of some of the really awful Hot Gossip routines from the Kenny Everett Video Show (on repeat on Freeview #7 these days)
