@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.

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…

I ******* hate FreeView. It never works properly and every time you have to rescan to update channels, you end up loosing even more. Oh and I can’t afford Sky so don’t even go there.

@StainlessSRat @HobdellTerry @utv You’ve misunderstood me. They’re still on my Sky box. They’ve disappeared from the Saorview/Freeview boxes. The issue is I can’t record them on Sky, but I have a hard drive on the Saorview ones.

@BazakeMedia @TreborRhurbarb He was watching the game on Freeview and not a subscription service. These people are leeches on society so need to be dissolved in salt.

@houseoflabrys My game plan when I moved in was to find someone who would install a satellite dish for me (via BT, kind of expensive to do independently), then once that contract was up go to freeview box £70. Internet / phoneline (I never use) by Plusnet. They're fine? <£30p/m

Boris Johnson is being urged to use PMQs today as a "golden opportunity" to issue an apology over his claim that Sir Keir Starmer failed to prosecute Jimmy Savile. Health Minister Ed Argar joins #KayBurley to discuss. 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

@FPL_CHEF We are with @virginmedia they want to put it up to over £65p/m for Internet and basic freeview channels. I have ordered a 5G hub from 3 I think £21p/m and will obviously just get a dodgy box to go with it which would allow me to cancel nowtv sky sports etc
