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.

@itvnews I complained about that awful erectile disfunction advert that appears on some Freeview channels, sometimes in the day & at teatimes, when kids will be watching & they didn't do anything! They said it was fine. It's not nice when young grandkids ask what erectile disfunction is!

@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…

@virtualash tell your boys your TV quality is poor on Freeview. Whale's head will not look fuzzy. This can't be allowed to happen.

@Karen31332753 @benonwine Thats exactly the same as we keep saying... trouble is its almost as much money for just broadband as it is to include the tv. Plus we aint got a BT line to change broadband providers, & yeah I'd miss the recording. Even though I know freeview boxes can record now.

.@Freeview question - how come the PSB muxes aren’t treated equally? The BBC one and the HD one seem to have a much better signal from Wenvoe than the “normal” ITV one. (I can get Mendip off a random bit of metal.)

@scott_gamer @verystickybunny @UKTV I guess you never know what broadcasters will choose to do next. PlayUK could have been a successful competitor to The Hits and TMF on Freeview if it hadn't closed for UK History.

@A_M_Seed Don't have TV on at the moment because the Freeview signal is shot (high pressure). Otherwise they could have had CBeebies.

@FreeviewAdvice EX349DF number 13. Has there been problems with freeview in this area recently? I seem to keep losing channels on a daily basis and having to retune everyday and not getting back channels I previously had (which isnt many compared to other freeview users)

@discoveryplusUK I can watch Freeview for TV ruined with endless Adverts I am categorically NOT going to pay for a streaming service with Adverts. Either offer the service for free with Ads or take a subscription fee instead of Ads.... But NOT both.

@davechannel Don't know if I am allowed to mention this but Dave Ja Vu is moving channel number and has found a new home on Freeview on channel 74, thought this might help people who have @FreeviewTV
