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.

@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!

@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…

@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.

@BlackPanthaaYT @lomadia The app on the family polaroid tv sucks but we got a Freeview box and the app on there works fine. I like watching videos on my laptop but when listening to music I prefer chrome casting to the tv

@talkRADIO @mrmarkdolan The alternative funding. A wholly subscription model can’t be applied to radio and there is no UK news service not on freeview. So you could phase out the licence fee over and allow the BBC to compete for adv and sponsorship. I bet that will go down well with News Corp.

@smolrobots Fires up the Roku. So probably 60 seconds behind the freeview signal.

Does anyone know if @GBNEWS will be available through Sky Q? Or will I need to flip the TV to freeview (which I never do normally) to watch it?

@GBNEWS Still not in (awful) SD or HD on satellite, but is on Freeview (in awful SD). Don't be like @SkyNews as the only news outlet not in FTA HD. #GBNews

@MsResJudicata @PlainVa86760081 @getyourgoals16 Projectors are brilliant, under the coffee table with the freeview box or whatever source you use, run an audio lead to your HI fi and project on to any plain painted wall. The one issue is the leads across the carpet, the upside is a huge screen, and when it's off its invisible.

@GBNEWS @jf_hanley I'm really upset we won't be able to watch on our bedroom freeview tv as our signal is from a relay transmitter & not a main transmitter. We only have virgin on the main downstairs TV. 😡
