  • 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.

  • 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.

  • xemilywalker emily (@xemilywalker) reported from Solihull, England

    The worrrrrst thing is, I’ve never had a telly in my room, never wanted one but that means tomorrow my mom and dad will be watching something awful in the back living room so ill be in the front living room with just freeview channels hahahaha **** off

  • 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…

    @bread1970 @aewboro123 @Fightful Tbh ain't a bad deal ayozat is available on sky or through their app or website for anyone in the UK for free so availability is about as good as you get without being on freeview and as mentioned if they do well then a Freeview channel could pick them up at a later date.

  • _oatc_ oatc (@_oatc_) reported

    @RobM37099974 @tx_pros @jduffyrice Not sure how many in 🇬🇧 even realise the channel exists on Freeview never mind having opinions about it. Obviously, you're right in respect of conspiracy theory devotees in 🇺🇸

  • haylsbb Hayley (@haylsbb) reported

    can’t believe the state of morning tv at the moment. staying at my dads so we only have freeview channels, we ended up watching something called “dress to impress” which is a dating show where you have to decide who to date based on outfits they chose for you. ******** is this?!

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @sharepointalex Hi Alex, I believe there is no free service of channels if you cancel your subscription with Virgin. In order to receive Freeview you will need an aerial connected to the TV. Thank you, Melissa

  • wrobexee1 Mike Weir (@wrobexee1) reported

    @Stuart_NashMP Speaking to an installer, he can confirm multiple people with the issue, some have spent good money themselves trying to fix. but its from the transmitter not their TVs. Freeview refuse to answer email enquiries. I ahve sent 3 requests with no response over a period of a week.

  • RetiredBroker Sir George (@RetiredBroker) reported

    @artbookreviews I was aked to set up a freeview box for a friend. Never seen so many wires, gadgets, remotes. Ended up in a loft (no floor!) making friends with an aerial. I think they have 6 TV's but I lost count...

  • wrobexee1 Mike Weir (@wrobexee1) reported

    @TVNZ @ThreeNewZealand are you guys aware of the issue with Freeview in Southland? Pixilation and sound drop out. All Channels all of the time. I have tried to report to Freeview, but after 4 emails and no response back after a week, thought I would see if you have any clout.

  • sharepointalex Alex Clark @ Microsoft (@sharepointalex) reported

    Does anyone know if you remove a Virgin Media TV package but keep the broadband whether the TiVo box continues to receive a signal for freeview use? Thanks!

  • yabouhti Sheikh Yabouhti (@yabouhti) reported

    @GitGrumpygit Simple, CANCEL IT & use Freeview. Any organisation that shafts me that I can do without, gets cancelled and/or switched.

  • murrayhead84 John Murray (@murrayhead84) reported

    @conorleeson @VodafoneIreland They cut RT a few months back, and understandably Cut Disney for cost reasons. Generally a good service but it is diminishing gradually while other services are offering more to subscibers. No music offerings and Children's TV they offer all avail on Freeview or FreeSat already
