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…

@PeterTatchell Oooh, poor old you. How about go out and get some fresh air you pathetic windbag. Or as I guess you have Freeview/Sky/BT/Apple TV/Netflix/Amazon Prime you’re just being a dramatic drama Queen. And we only care about one Queen today

@RobertsonG Thank you. I am aware of that & would put it down to that, but it started happening on the odd occasion even months ago. Strange 🤔. I retuned my freeview box to see how that goes & chose South East instead of South / Southampton, just in case.

@PeterTatchell Ah yes, the BBC have blocked all other TV channels, all access to freeview, freesat, Sky, Now TV, Netflix, Prime, Brit Box and every other TV and film service in the country. They've also burned all books, DVDs, radios, and blocked Spotify, Deezer etc. Pillock.

@GabrielVanca @ZachElsbury @PeterTatchell Freeview. Netflix. iPlayer. Plenty of alternatives available to those who don't want someone's way of life shoved down their throats

@martinetruelove Same as I use Virgin. I’m assuming of you disconnect from the internet and just use the aerial you would get the standard Freeview service but not be able to access any of the apps in the telly.

Does anyone know if Samsung Freesat tvs can receive Freeview like other tvs? I've been ping-ponged between @JohnLewisRetail customer services & technical support, who initially said did, then @SamsungSupport who said didn't, then JL say it needs a digital aerial. 🥴😵💫🌀😵

@soxgnasher Talking Pictures TV have a film on their Encore on demand service on Freeview called The Turners of Prospect Road (1947) about a Greyhound. Great scenes from inside the stadium.
