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…

@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!

@AvonandsomerRob Sky is expensive and bb slow as crap. Go with freeview / netflix / prime / youtube for price of tv licence.

@Mr_Sanch We have ours separate to have more flexibility. We just took out broadband with virgin for £24 a month for 100/mbps (I think) and then just use Freeview plus our Roku and other streaming apps for the rest of our tv. Rather than paying for channels we never use..

@Katet282 So sorry you've had trouble watching! You could try it on the Freeview Play app, to watch one of the repeats on Sky Arts, Easter Monday at 9.30pm or Thursday 8th April at 10pm.

You know what, #Wrestling is all over UK TV (freeview/FreeSat) but it's advertised terribly! Looking on the EPG today I found WWE NXT UK is on Paramount Network (Thurs), Impact Wrestling on 5star (sat) and PWC on Sports stuff TV (?). There used to be a lot more! #KeepLooking
