@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…

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.

If you want factual news watch Aljaazeera news on Freeview 285. If you want the Tory news watch BBC all about Jousting and lambs being born, a distraction from the real issues happening at home around the world. Your choice as an intelligent society.

@smileamilewide @petemorristwit I just have a freeview tv. Which is fine, sort of, if you nit interested in top quality TV. A lot of repeating which is inevitable. All comes down to money and what you are willing to pay.

The hospital was so damn warm and all I had the energy to do was watch The Big Bang Theory on freeview tv and try to keep down the tiny amounts of grapes and crackers I could stomach.

@TVNZ @1NewsNZ can you please fix your live streaming for TV1.. it's been glitchy for the last few days. Only happens on TV1 and none of the other channels. Noticed it on freeview streaming and the TVNZ app, and the glitches happen at the same timecode on different connections.

@virginmedia no broadband since 0730 on Tuesday - no engineer until Tuesday 11 April. Tv playing up too. What a Happy Easter treat. I am about to plug in my old rooftop aerial on Freeview for the weekend 😫

@moogal Are you on Freeview or satellite? Satellite can suffer from rain fade, especially if there’s heavy rain at the uplink and the downlink (home) location. Could be your dish is slightly off-beam which is made worse with all that water in the way of your signal.

@LesleyB58051421 It's been fine the last two days. This morning, when I switched it on at 10:27, it defaulted to Absolute Radio. I've given up and switched to Freeview for today but it's a dodgy signal!
