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.

@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.

@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…

@CaptainPikeachu @LeahyMichael43 It was so bad that UK Netflix got rid of it after three seasons and it had to be shown on freeview tv until Paramount+ debuted. It was purely made so a streaming service could have content.

who knew, that there is help available if mobile masts are interfering with your Freeview Signal!? Just had a great chat with the people from Restore TV. Filters are available free of charge to help with interference. @RestoreTVHelp @FreeviewTV @FreeviewAdvice

@GoonerWaffle @LauraKirk12 Just a quick pointer from an Icelandic native, you can get the Freeview channels here if you get your internet service through a company called Kapalvæðing.

@MarkFGrogan Virgin have never been able to connect my landline so I never had it for 10 years anyway even though it came with the package. I just canned that and the TV and have internet only now. Freeview, Netflix and Prime are more than enough TV for anyone.

@AboutEG Might be worth following @DowndetectorUK. You will get alerts for things you don't care about, but it was a great early warning for today's Twitter problems, and that recent Freeview outage - answers the "is it just me?" question.

@DanielFooksArt Twitter's a bit like flicking through Freeview channels. Most of it is crap, some of it is harmful but occasionally it's educational or even uplifting. It's also the top venue to make a **** of yourself after 1 too many shandies.

@GBNEWS I am now streaming my TV through BT as our aerial reception of various Freeview channels is poor, especially in bad weather. That means we have the channels THEY give us and GB News is not available. This is discrimination in the extreme and you should take it up with BT.
