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.

@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.

@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!

@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…

Is it me or is the sound quality on @BBCTwo US Elections programme rather poor? Watching on BBC Two HD on Freeview. And I don't mean one of the contributors not having a microphone.

I'll watch both MKR AU and Fair Go on TVNZ+ @agitopop @kstew70 because the Freeview signal is bad, so I'll watch it on Catch up, same goes for FBoy Island.

@cathyannis @CartoonsHateHer I was tempted to disable GBnews on my in-laws Freeview box just to nip the problem in the bud before it got worse.

@IanSlaterPhoto1 @VixThatRuns I have a sizeable Samsung. Ditched Virgin Media, the plan was to have Freeview. The tv doesn’t support Freeview!
