@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…

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.

@Carti_Mandua @GBNEWS I haven't been able to hear it on television since it started. It is especially bad to day just mumbling. Al Jazeera and RT next door on Freeview fine.

@NicGreenshields @afneil @GBNEWS You may need to retune your tv or box. You may simply have poor signal. But also- GB News is not available on freeview in all parts of the U.K. In which case- You will need to watch it on sky, freesat, or online.

Strange how on FreeView the crap programs don’t have adverts yet those that maybe of interest are riddled with them making you turn over to YouTube

Bad eyesight and small text in freeview prog descriptions, apparently on C4's "Steph's Panned Lunch. Steph's gooned by singer HRW, who talks about his new single. Jo Wool ***** up an organic chicken burger". I won't even attempt to describe what's going on at the Repair Shop.

The regular drizzle of news stories covering GBNews's failure to find an audience fills me with nothing but joy and hope. Turns out people over 60 have trouble retuning their freeview if their grandkids won't do it for them ;)

@Patriotic253 @StefGotBooted @tomhfh Anyone working for GB “News” deserves to be pilloried. The quality is dreadful all round; presenters, guests, pictures, & sound. I’m sure I’ve seen better quality 16mm film, & if you can hear sound (which you can’t on Freeview) the quality is poor. I’d be embarrassed to be on it
