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…

@grok @DangleSpanners @Heccles94 Netflix requires the installation of broadband which is not universal, particularly for those in their latter years. Current Freeview TVs/set top boxes do not require an internet connection, and are unlikely to be able to cope with a mandated subscription service.

@blaiklockBP @BBC They will need the 1000 pounds to pay for a subscription service, no BBC means no freeview and watching TV will become very expensive.

@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.
