  • 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.

    @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…

    Seen Metallica a couple of times over the last two days on Freeview Channel "Sky Arts", what a worn out pile of shite. Thank **** I've never bought tickets to see them, it's like watching a pile of lack luster tired old pensioners trying to relive their glory years. #PastIt 💩

  • BrexitFoxy The People's Foxy 🦊 (@BrexitFoxy) reported

    @Sir_Woofingtons If you want to pay for it, shouldn't there be a choice enabling you to do so, but others not to do so? I don't see why they just don't go ad-funded on Freeview like every other network, with the option of subscription on iPlayer for ad-free catch-up and premium content.

  • DBD365 Paul Day (@DBD365) reported

    @JohnyG29 Right, forget that, forget that. WHY, WHY ******** does there seem to be AN ENTIRE CHANNEL on Freeview called "Classic Who Wants To Be A Millionnaire"?

  • BretonGooner Jo (@BretonGooner) reported

    @philriding160 @SkyUK Yep, had sky TV for 5 years, kept increasing prices and it was the most basic package. Cancelled it and just watch Freeview now. Don't miss it 1 bit, realised most programs I watched were on Freeview anyway. Also saving a fair amount of money every year too. Never going back.

  • DomV3 FreeDom (@DomV3) reported

    @AmyRemeikis Ha FreeView TV on my phone is down. The hackers are busy.

  • DjSimonmatthews DJ Simon Matthews #MentalHealthMatters (@DjSimonmatthews) reported

    @bt_uk Can you please fix the problem that i cant watch freeview channels on the BTTV app @GooglePlay 🙏🏻

  • BoboAndDidou06 Daley The Fanboy (NEW ACCOUNT) (@BoboAndDidou06) reported

    @JennALT_01angel Didn’t really used to watch Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! as an infant, since we had no cable. I was just a modern Freeview guy. But, we got our first cable company in 2010, Sky. It was amazing but the price was unbelievable. But, WHO GIVES A ****???

  • TweetHeike_Dino Heike and Dino (@TweetHeike_Dino) reported

    The problem I have with the BAFTAs is that the traditional form of watching television has been eroded over the last years into people who can afford to watch streaming services and Sky for example and folk like me who rely on Freeview for telly programs. Which is rather sad!

  • Itoldyerso John - Let’s get on with it! (@Itoldyerso) reported

    @Patricia344130 Live TV probably yes. Find lots of ‘old’ repeats, which never had time to watch, are now much more interesting. Thank goodness for Freeview.

    Just watched a 15 minutes on Freeview 81 The AA lads that ran out rescuing broken downs on M'bikes with the tools in the sidecar Happy Days Eh !!
