@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…

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.

@Mark56623345 @a516digital for me the communal dish is 90cm and on the roof as part of the Communal Integrated Reception system so exposed to the rain when it really does throw it down and lose sat reception for a short period so I fall back to Freeview option for a bit on that one

Apparently it's not just ITV4, most of the Freeview movie channels are "interrupt a movie with 5 minutes of celebrity/sports news".

@FreeviewTV Curious to know in the good old days here in Gorran Haven with analogue TV we might only of had 3/4 channels. Now with Freeview in certain weather conditions we get poor or no signal for days. We can retune and get French channels Can anything be done to resolve it?

Hmmm...Boom Radio is struggling again today 😟but it could still be Bilsdale transmitter related issues. I looked at Freeview TV for the first time since the fire last night. Did a scan. Nothing!

Some days I really wish I'd kept all those calls to @JimDavisOnAir on my freeview box. I've been sent way back in time with a USB memory stick, a few years back with some calls. Damn, I really miss those days with the song choice and #JimDavisLive And it was just brilliant radio

I so begrudge paying £13 a month for a TV Licence now but, if you cancel it, it’s not just the BBC you have to stop watching. Basically, we’re all paying a TV subscription monthly whether we want to or not. So it’s not actually Freeview now is it!

Today’s first world problem: switching to the I-Player for the Hundred match because the picture for BBC2 is a bit fuzzy on Freeview, and being a bit sulky that it’s about 30 seconds delayed.

'Serving the colours' chat belongs with guff about the 'Queen's shilling': consigned to **** period drama. Meaningless waffle. If you talked like that in the Mob, you'd be laughed at. The market for that tripe is Walter Mitty civilians with a cockstand for WW2 docs on Freeview.

Got up this morning switched on sky news as usual, as usual no new news, checked Google no new news, just reporters trawling any old breaking news to carry on a story to justify their jobs, nothing to watch, Freeview nothing to watch only people's opinions, we pay for this crap.
