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…

@Paulusdmc42 That’s the issue. He disconnected the old Freesat Humax, put the adapters on & connected it to a Freeview Box Then wondered why it didn’t work

We have the BBC nations feed (high symbol rate) on here. It's obvious they've got their best (4k) cameras out today. Trouble is, it's gonna make every other programme tonight look like it was filmed on a 1970s 405 line plumbicon camera... Freeview will be like legovision.

@Polly_Phluid @RowdyRe80996794 @colinbrazierGBN Lying again? I don't know why you bother when a 5 second Google search proves you are lying. The freeview network was built off the ITVdigital platform which was built by, you guessed it, ITV. The BBC didn't do squat.

It’s 2022, drop the SD channels and encourage people to upgrade. SD freeview is unwatchable it’s so bad.

@SkyNews It’s a shame the picture on Sky News is terrible (Freeview). I’d of watched more on Sky News if the picture wasn’t so bad.

@spenjflairs @rogermosey @GaryLineker Why would a subscription service have to arrive by internet/cable? #Sky is a subscription service. It arrives via dish as does #Freesat. Sky just needs a viewing card for the subscription channels. Why cant a #freeview box have a viewing card slot for BBC? Even an STB for BBC?
