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.

@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…

@cleanfeed_ttvr C4 HD on Freeview has returned as normal (just jumping into the SD programming). Magic is back and so is 5SELECT (also with no mention of anything wrong). C5's My5 doesn't work for anything but 5Star right now.

Dreadful picture quality for More 4 Freeview viewers in North East England, still off air in other regions. While for others, everything is working fine. Why? That particular part of the Freeview service is regionalised and there are multiplexing issues in some areas.

More 4: if you're on Freeview, availability varies. It's still off air in some regions - i.e. you'll just see a logo top left. In other areas, it's back and earlier issues with poor picture quality are being resolved. Sat/cable viewers are already back to normal.

@channel5_tv is channel 5 down - in London all we see is a service card on Freesat and Freeview?

@danmooreradio It appears at least C5 has a back-up feed. C4 is restored - i.e. there is a working feed around. The problem now appears to be in the distribution chain for Freeview's D3&4 (PSB2) multiplex.
