    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…

    @greeniememes Damn I was hoping you'd give us the word. The Chinese channels on freeview are no help, though that could be because I don't understand Mandarin or Cantonese

    @JustSteve68 Online service I’m afraid, not watched much Freeview/Sky over past few years unless I’m staying at my dads

    @Sylvie_124 I had a TV similar to this but in black, never watched VHS tapes since I was born as DVDs were replacing VHS, but I remember watching cartoons on DVD and on Freeview channels on bunny ears aerial before they got phased out too

    @FreeviewTV seems to be a widespread issue with freeview, a lot of gloucester seem to have lost tv too. Any news on that getting fixed?

  • imchris77 cj (@imchris77) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I'm trying to find out about no service in Southampton so16 area. I've not had freeview for 4 days now

  • RobGooders Gooders (@RobGooders) reported

    In the interests of fairness, I should say that as disappointing as BT's service was yesterday, it got better today. I'm back online & have some subscription channels but none of the freeview ones as there's no aerial here and they use a sub-contractor to do that, currently AWOL

  • DanielB11739018 Daniel Butler (@DanielB11739018) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I have a question about the freeview tv signal. I've had four different tvs in my flat. The only thing on in the background really is @SkyNews but the tv will always ⚡ tick loudly on seemingly things of interest. Its like a form of intelligence that drives me crazy. Is it signal

  • pany1galanis Panayiotis Galanis (@pany1galanis) reported

    @ChannelboxTV Hi, super excited that I can watch @HELLENICTV on Freeview Channel 271, However, when I put the channel on, it just says "Data Only" with a blanc screen. Could I please ask for your Help here? Thanks in advance for your time.
