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…

@stnapirrem @LukeEdwardsTele Sky is tied to a multi year deal. And if they left the market and football goes back on Freeview, is that such a bad thing?

Apparently the BBC et al have pledged millions to Freeview to invest in the service. Sorry, pledged MILLIONS (it's a tabloid headline). That's lovely but personally I'd just like a digital signal. It's been over a year now. There will be no licence fee payment this year. Nope.

@GriffeyHilary @AnthonyICHH @MichaelsCoDub All a VPN does is mask your IP address, BBC is geoblocked in Ireland but with a VPN it makes a new IP Address look like you are in GB. Legal? Who cares? Nobody. You can get bbc free via freesat or freeview in ROI and no legal issues so....

@chiddyj @virginmedia Leave them then rejoin as a new customer later........ Freeview for a month then back to a deal you'd have no chance of getting as a customer.

@AdrianEdmondson Not a streaming service, but Channel 81 on Freeview @TalkingPicsTV shows classic films and documentaries all day.

Be careful when trying to cancel Sky TV. I was a customer for 18 years, cancelled TV, kept £25 broadband. They silently added a £10/month charge so that I could 'rewind freeview with my sky box.' Took 15 mins with call centre to get it removed. Stay classy, @SkyHelpTeam

Apparently @JolyonMaugham was supposed to be on @SkyNews today giving opinions. It was canned at last moment. I've been a Sky customer for 20 years. Had enough of this sh*t will not be renewing next contract. Freeview and contactless satellite TV for me from now on.

Trying to work out what causes the interence on UHF 21 474 MHz during the day on Canvey Island. Can't all be down to atmospherics. Would be interested to hear if anyone has any ideas about this issue. It seems to make the Kent freeview comux unwatchable here during daylight hours
