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.

@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.

@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…

@MoneySavingExp Had Freeview for years. Haven't got time to watch everything we record so would never pay for even more channels.

Really disappointed in Freeview just spent 45 minutes tuning the box to find that it’s broken! When I click on the BBC section I’m greeted with old people baking not young strapping black men with large dongs like on my iPad #BBC

/2 uniquely in the UK, the East Mids transmitter at Waltham is being fed with the (broken) online streams. This first occured last week. All other Freeview transmitters have different source feeds that are not affected.
