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.

@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 🙁

@AgentP22 According to STV it's shows like Coronation Street etc, Albas figures are an impressive 530,000 adult viewers a week when it became available on Freeview and Virgin media, how odd. Their average viewing time is an hour and 40 mins? Never watched Alba, lot of Sports apparently.

@Ste15375723Mark @MartinSLewis @GMB FWIW I think most likely outcome is the licence fee will be kept as the least worst option. Advertising is non-starter as it would destroy ITV/C4/C5's revenue. Subscription isn't possible for Freeview/radio. Bundling in with tax would be spun badly for the gov.

@SkyHelpTeam That was when Sky tv was value for money! I left Sky last year because you could only offer a measly £2 per month discount for a customer who had been with you for over 20yrs! And I don’t miss Sky at all…..on FREEview now!

@TLWUK1Official @MediaBoyUK SKY never had ITVBe+1. ITV Quiz+1 will launch on Freeview more likely in August 2025

.@AJEnglish is the only channel on my sky box that says No Satellite Signal is being received consistently. Al Jazeera has also been removed from FreeView. It’s like someone doesn’t want you getting any news except from those that have supported Israel during its genocide.
