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.

You don’t realise how awful freeview is until your waiting for the sky man to come to your house 🥴

@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…

* These two sites are affected as they currently broadcast all the main Freeview channels on the frequencies that Bilsdale will be using. To avoid interference, they need to come off air during tests. **That 80 metre temporary mast will be in service for quite some time.

@TalkingPicsTV Getting VERY poor reception in Diss at the moment from Freeview/Tacolneston, but that's likely a transmitter problem, not you.

Disappointed that @skytv without a dish was announced as #SlyGlass and not the service launched in other countries. Seriously, WTF is that? I'll be stuck with Freeview and the limited features of @NOW for a while 🙁💩

@KerryDaynes @ClairClair211 I can't get Freeview (no terrestrial aerial). Curiously, Discovery+ isn't on FreeSAT, which I do get. Maybe there's some streaming service that includes it - I'll investigate.

so according to the freeview website a majority of people will get the signal back on wednesday. Whether or not that includes yours truly is a matter of time.
