  • 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…

    @joelist This is very interesting. PBS have a UK Freeview channel so you'd think they could just show it there if they really wanted to, but they don't (and never have) owned the rights. I read that a lot of Sesame Street's income was from DVDs, and that has now vanished.

    @archers_fan2015 @BBCiPlayer I’m not sniffy about anyone’s telly choices just never get to see much of it myself. I think L sticks with Freeview and the BBC btw. I think she secretly fancies and admires Neil Oliver. #TheArchers

    Why is TV so utterly ****? Freeview? Supposed to be 700 Channels. And 695 of them are Totally ******* Unwatchable! The other 5 consist of Repeats or Adverts! And they want you to pay £156 Quid for a TV License? NOT A CHANCE!

    @SkyHelpTeam Looking at your deals, new customer deals, I need some information that I can't find online. Where can I find out monthly costs after initial 18 months? I found broadband after 18 months (£35.50 for what I picked) but not monthly TV costs - basic channels, freeview.

  • BradMacpherson5 Brad Macpherson (@BradMacpherson5) reported

    @BootstrapCook If the TV's relatively new it should have a built-in Freeview tuner. The aerial might be more of a problem though depending on how good a signal you get - digital's more sensitive than analogue, a poor signal makes it unwatchable rather than just snowy.

    Has anyone else solved the problem of watching @SkyArts on Samsung TV Plus? I'm starting to think that TV Plus ≠ Freeview is the problem.

    @afneil Leave poor Bunter alone and watch much more relevant @piersmorgan on @TalkTV launching tomorrow on Sky 526 Virgin Media 627 Freeview 237 Freesat 217

    @kieronmirch @TheNewsDesk It really doesn’t look or sound amazing on freeview. I’m not sure I can watch if the quality stays like this, I’m used to seeing tv in HD not blurry with awful sound
