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…

@FreeviewAdvice quick question folks. Just bought a new TV and the Freeview Play app is installed. I honestly don't know if this is an on demand service or a live broadcast service (or both?) I have no TV aerial, nor TV licence as I haven't watched live broadcast TV for years.

@gbnews Why is the frame rate on your Freeview transmission so slow? I've also noticed the sound and vision are often out of sync. Are you transmitting at a reduced bitrate?

Is it me or is the picture quality on BBC SD channels extremely poor? (Freeview) SD just shouldn't look this bad!

And it think it’s terrible that the other home nations can watch their team on Freeview, yet if the Scots want to see one of the best Scottish teams ever, they have to fork out for a sky sports subscription. Sort this out and get the games on the BBC or STV @ScottishFA

The show biz news in place of actual news on Freeview channels is a nonsense, can't believe regulators really think it meets anyone's public service quota

@FreeviewTV @FreeviewAdvice cont. So I have to select London region with bad reception to enable me to select series to record without the duplication eg 103 & 803 for an ITV series recording. BT says this is a Freeview upgrade.

Benny Hill's back on UK #Freeview I'm not offended by him, and it's nothing to do with being 'woke', but just don't find him funny. It's bad enough having his alter-ego Boris Johnson squatting at Westminster. He also performs long, boring & unfunny comedy skits, just like Hill.

@Robynnnnnnnn @Lauzzadoll1 I'd seen her name in the listings on my Freeview box, but never her picture or anything. I like her, though.
