    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.

  • 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.

  • RoboJ1M RoboJ1M (@RoboJ1M) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @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 🙁

    @Greyfoxp So I take it this is is why BBC News in HD is stopping on Freeview on 30 June to save money for stupid ideas like this one

  • SteveSonLad109 Sausage🍀🐯 (@SteveSonLad109) reported

    @Deji500 Dreadful take this, Poindexter. One of the single worst and ignorant tweets I’ve ever read. Slam on the 10 minute freeview and have a tug, you daft get.

    @chrisbenson007 @NOWMusic Found this which explains as you scroll down what's happening to a major revamping of Freeview channels....29/30june 2022

  • lexheath lexheath (@lexheath) reported

    @BBCNews just had a message on freeview that had is going - this is a huge mistake, I’ve already stopped watching bbc breakfast because the cut to local news gives that tedious message, also never watch local news as it’s ld, itv is all in hd so they’ve won

  • 6502nerd 6502 nerd (@6502nerd) reported

    Just turned over to Forces TV on Freeview to see a message that it ends on the 30th of June.. where am I going to get my Blake's 7 fix now (I don't have Sky or Virgin) As EE are getting the spectrum, I had better be getting better signal around here at least!

  • allen_rob Rob Allen (@allen_rob) reported

    @bt_uk all your freeview HD channels keep have awful signal quality in last few days for some reason 🤔 has this been reported?

  • Jonno1711 Jonathan (@Jonno1711) reported

    @poshabroad @dcunited How’s the game? 3 - 0 down! Don’t look like scoring! (Watching it on some freeview channel)

  • SteJWi22 Steven W (@SteJWi22) reported

    @colinwiseman3 We only have about 20 Freeview tv channels, none are Sky. The LNB on our satellite dish is dead and we haven’t had it repaired so no Freesat either… We rely on online services (although the Freeview online app service doesn’t work for us.)
