  • ellrbrown Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, England

    @mrgrahamreed @BBCiPlayer I think I only saw season 1 on Sky 3 on Freeview. Never saw the rest of it. The classic '70s Battlestar got shown on BBC 2, in the '90s.

  • DamienAshton Damien Ashton-Wellman (@DamienAshton) reported from Birmingham, England

    Looking through the festive TV schedule and there's no Muppet Christmas Carol on any of the freeview channels this year. Never wanted @DisneyPlus to launch more than right now.

    @Matey30 @virginmedia Nothing less than I’ve come to expect from them. Service has been so bad which is why we’ve left their tv service. Had to keep the broadband for now due to limitations of other local providers. Now watching freeview…

    @dimwittedly @Forces_TV A retune should fix it. On Freeview the programme map changes from time to time, and it can cause you to lose channels. So you need to retune, to keep the "map" up-to-date.

  • Chriscory78 Christopher Cory (@Chriscory78) reported

    @NOW well nowtv you are officially a shower off sh!t, promised a team leader will contact me regarding a complaint. About 8 months of over charges, 7 web chats, over 10 emails several tweets and messages and zero resolution, pi$$ up in a brewery honestly people stick to freeview

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    Ah an update from Freeview (two weeks with no TV & Radio now) "the signal will return around the 28th August" the phrase "around the 28th" being key...it was "will return on the 28th"..... So, about the 5th September?

  • TEOL85 The Evolution Of Life (@TEOL85) reported

    @STARTVUK @HarshAnantNagar @snehajain The good thing is it would have everything on demand eventually. But you can't watch Disney or Fox movies on a big screen anymore because it's all online only which is a bad thing. Disney and Fox still have a BBC and Channel 4 Freeview deal for films but that's 2-5 years behind.

  • jon9522 Jon W (@jon9522) reported

    @benedictrogers @Ofcom I agree but most people have a Sky or BT receiver and never use Freeview.

  • zawenaeb ZAWENA B (@zawenaeb) reported

    I swear #skybroadband is down at least every other week... was working fine until now. Wanted to watch something on freeview play but my smart TV runs off WiFi and currently have none. Good luck to my older sister who works remotely/from home with no WiFi shew screwed.

    Good to see the urgency with which @arqiva have restored Freeview to the good people of North Yorkshire. Just the three weeks now without any service.
