@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.

I've had Sky News on in the background today because my freeview seems to be broken. But I now really want the familiar voice of Huw Edwards. Don't think I am alone as iPlayer seems to have crashed too. #RIPQueenElizabeth

@Murphthered1 I've not been paying attention - whats been cancelled? I never watch terrestrial telly anyway. And don't have Sky or Freeview etc.

@NateDawg27 @shedden Yep. A lot of older/isolated people will only have freeview/radio so putting it just on bbc news 24/world service for rolling reporting with any new news on standard news bulletin programmes would be better

QEII dying means there is nothing on regular freeview television so I’m exploring channels I never frequent and I’ve just landed on The Osbournes Want To Believe which might be my new favourite program

@ImIncorrigible Not yet. Im preparing for at least a 2 week blackout of Radio when it happens. I'll check Nick Abbot's Fri/Sat podcast. Havent watched Freeview since 2015/Sky since 2017 so avoiding News wont be a problem. YT & the New US Drama's start end Sept 2022. I'll listen 2Old Nick A shows

@TalkingPicsTV Great line-up… but I can’t get ‘Red Button’ on Freeview to work. Any idea why not? Your FAQs don’t help - I’ve retuned but there’s no Encore logo under the TPTV logo…

@EddieMakesGames I honestly find the crap TVs work best for freeview, assuming that’s what you’re on. Bluepoint is a great brand for simple freeview.

@ann958230 It's clear that you never lived abroad if not for holidays. (And I bet you're a regular Freeview Tv customer). It's useless to keep this conversation. Have a good day
