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…

Looks like Chanbel 4 on Freeview has just gone tits-up AGAIN. Damn it, I’ll have to rejoin Virgin at this rate!

@LynneKerrUK Freeview is a through aerial service and needs an aerial to view. If you wish to use players these can be accessed using the internet. I'm not aware of any Freeview boxes that can take a SIM card but a hotspot may work. Please check manufacturers details for more information.

@jamiesmart That's maybe more unsettling than a ghost! About 10 years ago I would wake up every night at exactly 3am without fail. 3am being the devil's hour or something. Freaked me out after a month or so. Turned out the Freeview box updated and made a noise.

@FreeviewAdvice Pity they weren't able to get on with the job sooner. Needs an inquiry into why Natural England/North York Moors National Park could delay it so long. This is an emergency situation for a lot of lonely people. I commend Arquiva/Freeview for putting up with red tape.

@E4Tweets what is happening with the actually picture quality of e4 on standard freeview? It so bad the last few weeks? It’s like below SD quality of that was at all possible.
