Damien Ashton-Wellman (@DamienAshton) reported from Birmingham, EnglandLooking 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.
-
Tom Poole (@TomPoole007) reported from Birmingham, England@virtualash tell your boys your TV quality is poor on Freeview. Whale's head will not look fuzzy. This can't be allowed to happen.
-
Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, England@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.

🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England@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…

georgie green (@geovilla77) reported from Bromsgrove, EnglandYou don’t realise how awful freeview is until your waiting for the sky man to come to your house 🥴

Grumpy Stan.🎼 🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧 📻 (@grumpyoldstan) reported from Tamworth District, England@itvnews I complained about that awful erectile disfunction advert that appears on some Freeview channels, sometimes in the day & at teatimes, when kids will be watching & they didn't do anything! They said it was fine. It's not nice when young grandkids ask what erectile disfunction is!

nick renshaw (@nickrenshaw5) reported@BBC I hear that Freeview is being turned off at some point in the future. Well you will lose my payment for the TV licence as that's how I watch TV & if you get rid then I won't be able to watch & I'll cancel my licence. Not a very clever decision to make is it?
-
Presley Turberville (@T21949Presley) reported@evenskate566 Both of us loathe Richard Curtis comedy films, essentially due to the fact they're slushy Freeview crap.
-
Tom (@TomCushnie) reported@SW18_67FC @johnrobinson07 It's not more saturated too, it's shot in a Full Range and de-converted down to Limited Range to fit in our poor freeview infrastructure, it makes red and yellows considerably crushed. That's why the Holland game looked the worse so far
-
Julie (@Julie2424355376) reported@YouAreAWally @right_far_right Never bought an avocado and we only have Freeview which I'm understanding will disappear soon. One thing I am though is clean, I make my own washing up liquid and washing liquid for clothes. Shower every day with soap and home made shampoo. So off with your stupid assumptions.
-
LostInFilms🎬 (@Lost_In_Films_) reported@Hi_De_Helen Apparently it's going to get worse all down to Sky but how does that include Freeview losing them too 🤔 All I could find out from Google search piece about it in Sun today.
-
Gotta Have Faith (@Suzghf) reported@RITB_ All part of their plan to dump freeview and make us all need ID to go online. The BBC is a trustworthy news service? Don't make me laugh.
-
Rosa (@Rosa60044194) reported@OborneTweets Is great to have this addition, I will definitely be watching it! Shane they can’t a channel on Freeview as well. We need a decent opposition to the terrible GB news
-
chris (@chris_sucksmith) reported@Rothbury01669 This is a smart TV but I don't have Internet, never have, so the options are irrelevant. Just Freeview crap.
-
Andy The Photo Dr ♿️ 🏴 (@andythephotoDr) reported@Jcaird2 It’s basically freeview albeit a bit cut down via the internet. We have been fine without aerial anyway and missed nothing we like but it will be nice to flick through stuff again and stumbling on something to watch.

Steven Dawson (@Steven59066) reported@bus_driver_bob So do I, babenation had technical problems in the past which they did, babenation started to go wrong at midnight Sunday morning, then it came back on at 12:20am this morning, only 5 BS babes appeared on BS TV screen last night on freeview,
