    @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.

    @AskOneHousing @OneHousing @OHGResidents I’m now sick of your contractors accidentally cutting off our Sky and Freeview signal when they’re using the communal cupboards as a dumping ground. This is the umpteenth time since Christmas this has happened! 🤬

    @toadmeister I spoke to ofcom: THEY have not shutdown RT: it is freeview & YouTube who have done this. I agree it is terrible to not let us hear all sides in this "democracy" we live in! Reminds me of stopping all opinions about Covid. Agree or not, we should have the right to hear all sides

    Odd, channel hopping, and come to Freeview 56 - 5Select - and up pops Britain's Great Rivers: Then and Now - The Clyde. Waiting to see what I said a few years back, when I froze my bollocks off, being interviewed down opposite the Finnieston Crane. TV - oh, the glamour...
