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…

@mjohndyke Do you use freeview or another service to watch TV? You might need to retune.

@leefreshprince I have a Sony Bravia which claims to allow Freeview recording to USB media, but doesn't. It can certainly read USB media but I've never got it to write. Streaming allows me to pause and rewind, unlike my main linear TV.

@Danny_Acklam @StarTrek When I'm guessing is march 2022 at earliest in the new Paramount plus streaming service. I would say if we put enough pressure on they might put it @paramountnet_uk on Freeview for now until streaming is available.

@TalkingPicsTV @Simon_Pegg I wish. I can't seem to watch your channel, no matter how hard I track it down. No website or app seems to stream it, and we can't get Freeview as aerials don't work in our wooded part of the country :-(

@BethBudden @Channel4News Looks ok to me just now on Freeview HD, but I've noticed similar problems in the past.

@WezzyStef907 I get that they want to move it their own service but can't see why they can't put it on one the UK Freeview channels they own like @paramountnet_uk for this season. Would be a ratings killer, advertise @paramountplus and stop piracy. Seems like a win for everyone there.

@TalkingPicsTV @berkobabe UK, but I don't have a TV that can get Freeview. I had a digibox but it's very poor at reception now (I'm near Bristol). I wish one day TPTV could be fed to the internet like Drama and Yesterday etc.... but I know there are obstacles to that.

@MEFoggyDog At 3pm on ‘Great Movies’ (ch 33 on Freeview) today it’s ‘A Puppy for Christmas’. It’s one of those Xmas movies that are “so bad they’re good”!!! Cheesetastic would be another word for it.
