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!

@virtualash tell your boys your TV quality is poor on Freeview. Whale's head will not look fuzzy. This can't be allowed to happen.

@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…

@tepritchard Our IPTV is ridiculously over-regulated. Most countries have their Freeview equivalent available to stream already, free of charge. Freeview are moving that way (though billed as a "back up") but no firm dates yet, and as you say, Now is extremely locked down.

@Dean0076103703 @GaryLineker Already told you. Your licence fee pays for little old ladies to get free radio. It also pays to maintain the freeview network which lots of advert-using channels piggyback on.

@GeekCliche If Sky continue to advertise on GB News, why not switch to BT? I’d suggest Virgin but they’re a greedy company with bad ethics. You may also want to get a Freesat box for another room in your house for free channels not available on Freeview!

(@AllanLear6) reported
@Dean0076103703 @GaryLineker No, sorry, you're lying. The BBC funds two of the six multiplexes that deliver Freeview and Freesat content nationally. If you scrapped the licence fee, you'd have to fund that from somewhere else. If you don't understand the issue, it's best to reserve judgement.

Me days my #Freeview is better than others, but today I can’t get a single channel! Don’t know if it’s the aerial causing the problem or just an unusually weak signal?

@kevinsmall9 @BBCRadioStoke Now medium wave has gone there are only Freeview DAB and FM to choose from. Suppose they are going by interest and support. Personally Freeview works for me if Stoke were on there but expect whoever's at home between Vale and Crewe will get the Freeview slot.
