    @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 🙁

  • johnshigham John Higham (@johnshigham) reported

    @docrussjackson @ta_mills A freeview retune meant l lost most channels a few months before I cancelled it anyway and even new cabling, a filter and a signal booster didn’t help. I refuse to pay for something with opt-in alternatives just to be an obedient sap.

    @SkyNews Can I connect my BluRay player to it, and is there a Freeview tuner in case the internet goes down?

  • alljusthuman alljusthuman #FBPE #leavealighton 🇪🇺🇵🇸 (@alljusthuman) reported

    @My5_tv There are good programmes on Ch 5 but my5 is not user friendly. A Search option for recent progs would help and an alphabet to help navigate browse. And why is My5 not showing current series of Highland Vet & Casualty24/7? (I watch on Freeview/smartTV).

  • m1sac I mohammed (@m1sac) reported

    @andyliverbird You tube surfing. Try streaming fury wilder. The crap that’s on freeview. If all else fails re organise you clothes

  • JStewart_15 Josh Stewart (@JStewart_15) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam does sky glass have an Ariel port so if WiFi went down we could still watch freeview?

  • drebee88 Dre ® (@drebee88) reported

    Anyone else's free view just now showing signal. Or is it just mine. #freeview

  • steeleyp_ PS (@steeleyp_) reported

    @anditsinthere_7 @TheEverydayMan_ @SkyUK You're left with a 48-month credit agreement for a TV tied to the Sky OS. You don't even get all Freeview channels or an aerial socket on the back. No satellite tuner so unless you LIVE for Sky and plan to NEVER cancel, it'd be a huge waste of money.

  • mjray MJ Ray (@mjray) reported

    @gnomeicide IIRC there is one big service not on Roku but I forget which. And you meant Freeview not Freeserve a few posts ago. Freeserve was bought and merged repeatedly and ended up with EE.
