    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.

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @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…

    @bbcemt @BBCOne When will this be sorted? I understand it’s expensive on satellite. But I watch on Freeview so already get a regionally transmitted HD service, you just need to give me the correct video!? Even if local the content is upscaled.. #bbc #hd

  • itstrisha_innit Trish R (@itstrisha_innit) reported

    @culleyTC I can’t get any freeview signal in my area. I only get the strongest channels which are the original 5

  • TheRoundhead42 John Harrison 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 (@TheRoundhead42) reported

    @Nettleshippy I don't know many people who only have four or five channels. In fact, I don't know any. Freeview has dozens. Licence payers don't get to dictate content; never have. It was one day. Making a formal complaint seems OTT

  • whiplashgrace Grace Rutherford (@whiplashgrace) reported

    @MoneySavingExp Never use freeview

  • Bohemoth Bohemoth (@Bohemoth) reported

    @AnasSarwar If the TV licence was abolished and replaced with paid ads, the option to subscribe would be there and the elderly could simply have freeview. NO TV LICENCE and you could concentrate on real issues. This is like NO. 1050 on the list of things needing addressed. Get SNP OUT!

  • christhejani Chris Lincoln (@christhejani) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice hi I am getting no picture from Freeview on any channel just a message saying the receiver is not getting a signal or the signal is week

    @mattohare @UKTVPlay @UKTVPlayHelp Hi, UKTV Play is a catch-up TV app. Freeview is a through aerial service. Freeview doesn't block apps from other parts of the UK. Thanks C

  • BertieTheCat1 Bertie Cole (@BertieTheCat1) reported

    @ghost_wales We`ve got freeview and a TV licence and that`s enough. Humum discovered Sky was crap nearly 20 years ago, still thinks the same !

  • GaryinScotland Gary Cummins (@GaryinScotland) reported

    @Samsmilew @RonMooreMoreRon Hello Samantha. Freeview channels are all that many receive. In 2021 the BBC chose to show the same program about the DofE across all its national TV and radio stations. Folk never had the option of switching over to another BBC channel.

    @MoneySavingExp I switched from Virgin because of constant problems, including failure to collect my direct debit. Am now with Freeview which is great value for money!
