    @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…

    You don’t realise how awful freeview is until your waiting for the sky man to come to your house 🥴

  • DamienAshton Damien Ashton-Wellman (@DamienAshton) reported from Birmingham, England

    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.

  • frankensteirer yoo hoo (@frankensteirer) reported

    @Ofcom @mother_pukka @NicenNeetz we have to lose freeview channels to make other companies richer ee offerings was poor as it was losing more channels more repeats why are regulators doing this? If its not you letting bt overpopulate openreach lines it's other regulators letting energy prices disgustingly soar

  • saintchrisobee Chris O'Bee (@saintchrisobee) reported

    As if the lack of music channels on Freeview wasn't already bad enough the only one I regularly watch Now 80s is no longer available from Thursday 🙄😡

  • BobsNotYaUncle Paul (@BobsNotYaUncle) reported

    I know it's on iplayer, my point was not that I can't watch it. I have a Freeview DVR, I now have 4 eps recorded out of a series of 6. If they show tonights final ep I'll have 5. There was no reason to move channels for a first round match other than to **** viewers over. Again.

  • wurzel260654 Sarah , Lucy,Nella and Wurzel . (@wurzel260654) reported

    @SkyNews Give up Sky, Netflix, Disney plus, Paramount plus, Amazon prime. Plenty on freeview. Cut down on alcohol and smoking. There are many people who are truly poor through no fault of their own. Contact CAB or Welfare Rights.

  • FastRSolutions FastR Solutions Ltd (@FastRSolutions) reported

    @4CAnalytics @The_Expert_Eye Oh yes remember that. We gave up on Lost when it went to Sky, as we only had Freeview back then & I heard the ending was poor. It had lost its way before then. I quite liked watching Manifest aside from her eyebrows, need to catch up on that, as it's now on Netflix

  • rugbyleagueontv RugbyLeagueonTV.com (@rugbyleagueontv) reported

    FreeSports will be removed from the Freeview service tomorrow. I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes Premier Sports 3 before September.
