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.

@UncleStanBoslom Not to my knowledge - we did have some intermittent problems on the FM transmitter in the week before but nothing we were aware of on the day. Was she listening FM, DAB or Freeview?

They don't half make it difficult to cancel your Sky Q subscription, got there in the end, get to keep the box as a freeview box that records TV and can be paused whilst also getting a fiver off my broadband.

@timothy_stanley What a complete lack of knowledge. Leaving the smear to one side, do U know how many viewing options there are?Even if you put to one side, cable, satellite, Amazon Fire, there's Freeview. If U imagine that students, civil servants or jobless are glued to L Kelly U R an idiot.

@midkentforbrit1 First get rid of all mobile contracts and tv subscriptions. Get sim only and freeview only. This plus cooking from scratch would be a massive help for everyone to reduce their outgoings. Plus get a good freezer. Freeze yellow ticket reduced stuff. Make extra for another day.
