    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.

  • 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…

  • TomPoole007 Tom Poole (@TomPoole007) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virtualash tell your boys your TV quality is poor on Freeview. Whale's head will not look fuzzy. This can't be allowed to happen.

  • quantum_quasar Henry Brian Shaw (@quantum_quasar) reported

    @DerSchwarzBaron @U_didnt_saythat Yeah think that's the problem. Because GAA sold rights to Sky, sky block it on the RTE channel. Not sure if you can watch it on Freeview or not. But this is what happens when sports do big TV deals.

  • xenathecat1 xena the cat (@xenathecat1) reported

    Hooman is finding new things out living in this small town. The big Tesco extra doesn't open before 7am, Amazon, deliveroo, just eat etc don't deliver here, there's no buses after 6.30om & the tv and mobile signal is very poor. Hooman can only get 45 freeview channels here.

  • residentchemist Certified bad *****. ♒ 🇯🇲🇰🇳♿ (@residentchemist) reported

    Really @skytv , no info, no update and now I have to sit on the phone for 30 mins to find out why YOU have cancelled my service? And now I'm being charged for freeview channels which I can get for free??? Nah this is ridiculous.

  • GrandOld_Grumpy Chris Williams (@GrandOld_Grumpy) reported

    @Jo_IsABitch Not a fan of that charlatan! Saw him whilst flipping through the religious channels on freeView here, the first time we got the service. Saw his audience, realised really rapidly, he was in it for the money, nothing else! Easy life being given 10+% of everyone’s hard earned money

  • CrazySparky Pete (@CrazySparky) reported

    @minxyme72 Freesat / Freeview / Amazon Prime and a subscription to some French channels for Ella ( which I never watch )

  • JohnMac87014501 John Macdonald (@JohnMac87014501) reported

    @FreeviewTV good evening freeview I recently retuned and manage to get the missing channels added but now we can get no information and the time is stuck on the 7th Sept. Nothing but problems with this toshiba tv. Your help will be much appreciated.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital Unfortunately my parents are now unable to receive freeview, they watch sky/Freesat, after the wind blew down the, aerial.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital It's a shame I cant get freeview where I live, as I would have liked to report how com 7 reception is. But it's been poor for a few weeks now, from what others told me.

  • mrledders ian leadbetter (@mrledders) reported

    @Dolly_Darren Ok. Mine did the same to me. I switched it off at the mains (along with the Freeview box), promised never to watch ITV3 again, left it for about an hour and when I switched it back on it came back to life. Sadly, not designed to last now!

    @joti261 @Nigel_Farage @GBNEWS STUPID!! GB News is not a satellite channel; it is free to air on Freeview.
