@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…

@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.

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.

@m1ctk @DaveMor16686271 @GBNEWS That's a shame. Why don't they broadcast in HD on freeview? SD looks like crap.

@virginmedia Really? I hadn't considered that. My issue isn't my services being cut its the fact you make Freeview unwatchable it's a shits trick and is nothing but spite it's not like it goes away after 5 minutes I have to record what I want to watch to avoid the bloody thing

@GBNEWS Freeview reception is very poor at the moment. Hope you can boost your signal so I can watch a decent news channel.

@ChrissieLefranc @kaled10 @GBNEWS I believe the test signal is only being broadcast on freeview at the moment because the signal needs physically tuned in on many boxes like old tellys were. On Sky the test signal is less necessary as no tuning by the user is necessary, just keep checking 515 until it appears.

@LBC @darrenadam I hope not.....It's sad that so many people are happy to pay for subscription services, but not a license fee for what is essentially a good service via Freeview and Freesat. I refuse to line the pockets of companies like Sky, Netflix, Amazon etc
