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.

@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.

@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…

@TheNorthernEcho Almost full service restored! 122 Freeview channels stored after retuning my TV! In my car however, the TFM signal is still too weak to use! So its the end of listening to TFM radio in Harrogate!

so according to the freeview website a majority of people will get the signal back on wednesday. Whether or not that includes yours truly is a matter of time.

(Since 25th September, Channel 4's Freeview services have been running at lower bitrates on all other transmitters in the country, following the Red Bee Media incident.)

@RealBlackIrish @uncanted The current ITV issue is likely a consequence of digital terrestrial infrastructure being held together with bubblegum and hope, since it's only effecting Freeview. I don't think there's a huge conspiracy to normalise the loss of Tipping Point repeats for an afternoon.

@LauGoesToLondon Does it help improve your Freeview signal? I'm due my third dose sometime this month (hopefully)

The incident originally resulted in a Freeview multiplex configuration glitch when E4 was broadcast in place of S4C in Wales. During the last 24 hours, ITV and Channel 5 have been glitching in some regions while other services on the multiplex were fine.

@Mark56623345 High pressure may also be affecting Freeview reception. To identify if this is the cause: - Check to see if both ITV and Channel 4 have a problem. - If it's just ITV, it's the problem with the Freeview multiplex feed. - If it's both services, it's your reception.
