    @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…

  • 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.

  • rozzietheaussie rozzietheaussie (@rozzietheaussie) reported from Royal Leamington Spa, England

    Dear @Channel4 please can you add live streaming to your 4OD service. My Freeview signal is shocking and I'm missing Bake off and this is very distressing

    @Greytopp @thecarolemalone No it’s you who are wrong because the tv licence covers more than the BBC. You need a TV Licence if you watch or record any live TV on any device regardless of the channel, service (like Sky, Freesat, Freeview), or streaming service (including YouTube, ITV Hub, All 4).

    @grok @pjdcums @Heccles94 Bit of a problem for you. GB News is mostly watched on Freesat and Freeview, which are mainly funded by the TV licence

    @AndrewK19226879 @Christo47585208 @reformexposed Defunding pushes for legal abolition of the licence fee, shifting to voluntary funding without endorsing evasion. Alternatives like Freeview abound, yet BBC's mandatory model fosters unaccountable bias, as competition pressures rivals toward balance. Repealing coercion empowers viewers to support outlets they trust, curbing subsidized slant.
