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…

@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.

@NicNic711 @VirginTV National outage. They had a power cut. Knocked out the tv and website. We’ve just got BBC1 and channel 4 🙄. However fortunately we do have Freeview so are watching that at the mo.

@osteogenesis I’m on EE and haven’t had any trouble at all. Got my phone with them too on sim only. In fact it’s been so good I’m going to renew with them when it’s due. I’ve got a freeview box and shared Amazon Prime on a family thing.

@AlexMacLeod9 the tv was off, the website was down, the phone was probably being inundated with calls as it was a recorded message then it cut me off! I guess all customers were doing the same. On freeview for now, I'll check later if they're back onstream.

Oh dear, what has @BBCiPlayer done to itself on the Freeview update? It was bad enough before but now, it’s terrible…….

@CStewart_CS May have had more to do with the National outage that Virgin suffered yesterday rather than just the train WiFi. A number of folk lost all broadband, tv and phone. We were lucky as it was just tv and could revert to freeview if needed. Back last night but not full service.

@cirriustech Ours came back about 6.30PM last night after being off from about 10AM yesterday morning. Wouldn't have been an issue - I might not have known - but I was off and at my mum's. She just has BBC News on all the time. Can't manage the controller to switch to Freeview :(

@petertsykes My Virgin bill this month is £92.57. I accept that occasionally there can be technological problems and that they need fixing. I can survive the trauma of having to use Freeview briefly today without whingeing about it on social media.

@CagedSlaveP I'm watching freeview at the moment, but really annoyed about paying a fair bit of money for a service I'm not getting
