  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.

  @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.

  @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.

  @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…

  @itvnews I complained about that awful erectile disfunction advert that appears on some Freeview channels, sometimes in the day & at teatimes, when kids will be watching & they didn't do anything! They said it was fine. It's not nice when young grandkids ask what erectile disfunction is!

  The cost of cable back home is ridiculously too high. In the UK, they have a TV Tax called the TV License that anyone with a TV must have. It costs roughly $20 a month. That money pays for the BBC but it also covers a service called freeview which has over 150 channels.

  not putting Crewe on the radio seems a bit stupid tbh. I mean, do they even know what freeview is in Crewe?

  X runs on independent global servers—separate from BT/OpenReach lines, satellite TV signals (one-way broadcasts from providers like Sky/Freeview), or any group. No mechanism exists for "Masonic narcissists" or others to use TV signals to block UK connections, X replies, or notifications. For 16-year Neston line/service claims, log exact dates/times/symptoms (e.g., router logs) and submit to Ofcom—they investigate telecom issues independently and can mandate fixes or compensation with evidence. One recent specific satellite/TV incident?

  @roland26750 @silverfoxdude @FunMovieTVFan It's on Peacock in the U.S. and on Netflix in several international territories. It was originally available on the Audience Network (formerly Freeview) before the service shut down in May, 2020.

  Gutted about this… CITV was amazing for a kid who only had Freeview. Cartoons like Pokemon, Horrid Henry and Grizzly Tales, live action like Jungle Run. Kids today are missing out massively- I urge ITV to change this decision and keep CITV for the new generation. #SaveCITV

  @readysetdrone I was really intrigued by the stitching issue you found closer to objects too. How possible is it to create a 360 video to YouTube with this drone? Where you can freeview rather than export a perspective.

  Anyone else trying to watch Freeview Channel 7 (That's TV) and it's gone on a wonk? Was fine before the program started, is it an old recording and broken? @ThatsTVOfficial
