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…

@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.

@virginmedia All the more reason to bin the TV service and just stream or use Freeview. Happy to save my money.

@virginmedia Pretty scant in the way of updates given how long it’s been since the outage began. Telling us that a handful of TV channels are available now is all well & good, but I can turn my V6 box off completely & get those for nothing via Freeview.

VM TV is down, but internet still seems to work. So that's all the 'normal' channels even if you've got no TV aerial for FreeView. Relax people.

Wel, @virginmedia, which I pay a fortune for, are down on a day on a day that I want to watch snooker. They're damn lucky I can watch on Freeview. They better be back by 7pm. #snooker #crapcompany

@cassyofLondon @njamurphy It's been happening most of this morning, losing certain freeview channels. Checked with neighbour, same issue. They must be working on the London transmitter. Would be nice if they could pre-warn us it is going to happen, rather than thinking there is something wrong at our end!

@amolrajan You must be free to speak, even if it’s hating on Kate who many of us admire and who will be our Queen. If the Beeb feel it’s ok to pay someone with these views, no problem. But we can’t watch other Freeview channels unless we pay for your ‘bricks’ Time for that to change.
