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.

@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…

Unhappily, today's showing of Dog Day Afternoon (1975) starring The Cat in the Hat as Angus MacGyver has been postponed due to flu, but the really bad one. #freeview

@FreeviewAdvice we seem to have lost our freeview HD channels on all our TVs in PL7, is this a known issue?

@FreeviewAdvice Are there any issues in SS6? We’ve had no freeview channels for over 24 hours now.

@ITVXhelp @ITVX Thanks, but that’s not a great deal of help as Freeview Play is listed, but just says ‘some devices not supported’. Why would the software not be written to work on devices that might be a few years older but still being sold? Or is it just not been sorted yet?

@Johnson66892442 @Nick_Metcalfe One thing which may help is that you can go to red button by choosing channel 981 on Sky or 301 on freeview, if you want to avoid iplayer👍

@FO2D_ All right, can you come back to us if you still see the issue tomorrow after lunch? It looks like freeview servers (where you get the ads from) did have some issue today so it could explain why you got few issues.

@Lydiarosesteph you never had to pay for it, even in your situation you can just use itvx for free, the subscription removes ads and have extra content but watching live and love island are available for free. also freeview is free so i don't understand why u wouldn't have it if u have a tv

@virgosam70 Jeremy Kyle was on the Liverpool TV channel causing trouble for Harry I switched off as soon as I heard Kyle putting Harry down, he lost his job on the Jeremy Kyle show for being abusive, now Kyle is being abusive on the Liverpool freeview channel, he too is vile and abhorrent.
