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…

@MrAbelMagwitch A lot of University students also have access to "Box of Broadcasts" an online catchup service which can show tv programs from all the main freeview channels... they can stream BBC content on without needing a TV license.

Watching live Freeview for the first time in years and it is hour after hour, dozens of channels full of utter crap. How do people still watch this? Streaming has spoiled me.

@em_cooper Read your book backlog instead. Pretend you're on holiday with a crap aerial and freeview, the only choices being Bargain Hunt or a repeat of A Home In The Sun.

@TPTVEncore @TalkingPicsTV Incredibly slow loading on a Panasonic Viera 49ES500. Even with the cache files preloaded. Also, no indication that the red button has been pressed to show the app is actually loading. All other Freeview+ services working fine.

@wilsondan @VodafoneUK @GeorgeMonbiot To be honest its actually the best network here (but not by much) Next choice from locals I have previously had conversations with is 3. We are in a "geographically challenged" area. We still only get basic Freeview telly for example - but we do get RTE so I dunno....

@LGUKCare Hi, I've an LG smart TV. I've been trying to use channelbox on freeview 271. My hbbtv setting is on, but it still doesn't work. Google seems to suggest this is an LG problem. Can you advise please?

@TalkingPicsTV hi, We have a brand new TV, Internet and freeview but we get as far as pressing OK to watch something then a blank screen, with the red button service. Are we not doing something obvious maybe?

@BorisJohnson How wonderful, how about sorting out the signal for our ancient techno, TV, can’t get a signal for Freeview & have had to have Sky for years despite new digi aerials & boosters & still have to pay for TV Licence!
