    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.

    You don’t realise how awful freeview is until your waiting for the sky man to come to your house 🥴

  • 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.

    @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.

  • 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…

    @madaboutHolly @Lee_JM75 Who's watching this bad boy on Freeview channel 70 ,Horror, right now😁💩💩💩

  • BrexitFoxy The People's Foxy 🦊 (@BrexitFoxy) reported

    @CraggsLewis @tvlicensing @tvlicensingnews If it's the live stream, as it's also a Freeview broadcast channel then yeah you need a TV licence. If you're just watching catch-up on-demand clips, then you don't need one. The law is stupid, but that's the way it is at the moment.

  • Easy_As_He_Him Autist na h-Alba - Sexy Sexy Sigma (@Easy_As_He_Him) reported

    @e500v they should be on ITV and ITV4 and we should be on ITV2 but **** us and shove us into the darkness of the freeview channel list.

  • k4bladesagain cheekfulloftongue🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@k4bladesagain) reported

    @GBNfans Still not a great picture on my freeview. Don't know if it's their end or just a weak signal but needs to be HD. Something to go up against question time on Thursdays. More variety/presenters...its starting to get a bit "samey" all the time.

  • FplStatsdan Dan 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@FplStatsdan) reported

    UK peeps: is there any way to watch ITV4 in HD if you only have Freeview? Relegating the match which actually matters for qualification to ITV4 is a poor move from ITV.

  • DaMisanthrope Alan Wen (@DaMisanthrope) reported

    I never even use ITV’s other channels and suspiciously can’t find ITV4 on freeview. But it’s on the ITV hub app. Bah, I don’t care anyway. Got other stuff to do this evening.

  • TheScottishTra1 The Scottish Traveller (@TheScottishTra1) reported

    So here's a thing, would the argument, Freeview is advertised as free and never mentions the required TV Licence stand up in a Court? Afterall, it's out there enforcing the false statement, "It's FREE" #DefundTheBBC

  • VinnieVonStarr1 Vinnie Von Starr (@VinnieVonStarr1) reported

    @mitsyarty In these days of on-demand TV who still watches adverts? We keep being told how hard done by anyone who isn't white is, maybe the advertisers think they are the only ones so poor they can only afford Freeview?

  • Geoff_NUFC GPM (@Geoff_NUFC) reported

    @JustCraggles @virginmedia @BlueYonder I had the same, went from paying £40 a month to nearly £70. Dropped the TV because its ****, I was on the basic TV which is pretty much freeview. Went to sky for TV and was going to take the sky broadband until they gave me a reduced price. Its worth complaining about.

  • korewatori Tori (@korewatori) reported

    @TheApsy17 @WechGangInt legit it's so ******* stupid. There's something called freeview that gives you access to quite a large amount of basic channels but I don't think that includes the BBC. The licence is required to watch anything produced by the BBC and to watch stuff when its broadcasted live

  • hughster Hughster (@hughster) reported

    @vwcampervanaldr They've been paying for ads on it from day one. And no, I don't have issues with Skwawkbox/Canary because—and again, the TLDR of "poor analogy" applies—they're not Freeview TV news channels, not supposedly Ofcom regulated & not funded/promoted/defended by the government.
