@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.

Actually that's not strictly true. Freeview will be offering internet streams of channels as back up in the future, but no sign of when, so that doesn't help you today.

@drstevebagley yeah, but my point is more that the same content is separately uploaded on multiple platforms - so actually maybe rather than channels, these apps are like Sky/Virgin/Freeview. Some of which require login/pay, some of which don't.

Finally, check streaming services. Freevee. The best free streaming service overall Peacock. Pluto TV. Roku Channel. Tubi. ... Crackle. ... Vudu. ... Sling Free. Negotiate a lower monthly cost or switch provider. Take advantage of freeview and freeway. Get those old DVDs out.

@rreczulski @mrwilmore18 Thanks but I don’t have Freeview, signal not strong enough, always had to rely on a satellite signal. I get a few radio channels with sky but not Humberside.

Still find it horrendous that @bbcthree has HD on freeview to show Ru WTF Drag Race but a proper service like @BBCFOUR4 is demoted to SD and ready to be dropped? How many licence fee payers actually watch the shite they put out on @bbcthree

Can anyone explain to me the point of #ITV4+1 on #Freeview? It never seems to broadcast. Just a waste of bandwidth. #ITV

Build up your own library of DVDs and CDs because tonight's tv is just awful. I expect terrestrial tv to be bad every night but Freeview is now following suit. Just put your own stuff on. A bit of Genesis then Apocalypse Now.
