    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…

  • saintjeff52 Saintjeff "DO THE DEAL FROSTY" (@saintjeff52) reported

    @BritBox_UK 'Streaming now, only on Britbox'. You do understand that the vast majority of the British viewing population do not watch Britbox. Should stream it on a Freeview Channel. Viewing figures would quadruple. I personally have never watched this 'new' version. Ca ne fait rien

    @tamago2474 Freeview folks be like... Wtf are they talking about

  • LukeMcCabe16 Luke McCabe (@LukeMcCabe16) reported

    @NickFrostSays Yeah stick every game outside the blackout Freeview, I agree. But the 3pm blackout is about keeping that culture of you go to 3pm games. The Premier League is really irrelevant in the discussion, it’s about making sure people go Carlisle when it’s -2 in January
