    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…

    Anyone else noticed @FreeviewTV HD reception is exceptionally bad in London this morning? A bit of a lottery since the frequencies changed but I can usually rely on BBC1 and BBC2, fine last night, unwatchable this morning. #freeview

    Of course the weather has changed and with it the signal from Freeview's temporary mast has yet again changed. Went from all the BBC channels and 6 other channels (no ITV/C4), Then as the warmer weather moved northwards we lost all the BBC channels and after a retune got the 6

    @Argos_Online @ArgosHelpers I purchased a Humax Freeview recorder from #MerryHill branch. The seal was Broken. The box was missing a ethernet cable. On plugging in I Find it already setup and a recording of BAD GIRLS.

    @toshibatveurope Bought a Toshiba smart 4K tv last year, it’s so smart I’ve had to buy a separate free view box because for some reason, despite having Freeview play it can’t cope with the freeview satellite signal!

    @xmorpheus DId you find it? Channel 26 on freeview if thats any help

  • JibbleBobble Jamie Matthews (@JibbleBobble) reported

    @ricardoautobahn Most things on That's TV are in the wrong aspect ratio. Some (un)lucky viewers can also find That's TV on channel 7 on Freeview where it is disguised as the 'local tv' service. Still worth a watch to see the Thames TV logo at the start of Benny Hill.

    @haroldthimbleby Everything fine until I switched to a mono radio station on Freeview, at which point the sound stopped and stayed off until the TV was rebooted. Weird. Rang Sony. “Never heard of that before” they said. “Try using the RCA audio output sockets”. I rewired my cable, it then worked.
