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.

@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…

@a516digital Most who I know have got sky and or freesat so makes no difference, but those who do watch freeview have problems with Forces TV, BBC4 HD, etc, the Great TV! Channels are all pixelated, and ITV ch4 and ch5 keeps popping and squeaking on the sound.

@a516digital Out of everyone I know only 1 had something other than sky freesat or freeview, he has virgin media, but is so reluctant to talk about it because he has had so many issues with it, he wants to smash it up.

@MarkandDrama The moment that the BBC loses the central funding from the LF is when I predict that Freeview and Freesat are doomed to death*. Yet these idiots don't seem to realise that the UK's main PSB is the core to the "free" stuff they guzzell down. *I'd give it five years.

@a516digital Unfortunately my parents are now unable to receive freeview, they watch sky/Freesat, after the wind blew down the, aerial.

@Bbmorg I support no license thereby giving choice for those who want to watch the other Freeview channels but not BBC the right and freedom to do so. In an age of thousands of channels,& streaming,a license should not forced. I hold the same view regardless of which party is in Govt.

@joti261 @Nigel_Farage @GBNEWS Typical idiot Remoaner, you must have found a way to cancel your Freeview then because it's on there too.

@bt_uk I know, but why would I pay you for Freeview Channels! Hard bundling TV with Broadband to get me to sign for 2 more years. BT broadband is poor & my area is just getting new providers with Fibre to the house. This feels like anticompetitive practice using your TV @CMAgovUK

@gemandmoll @Bbmorg Which is great for you. So maybe you should be paying through subscription allowing those of us who do not watch their services the right to watch other freeview channels without paying for a service we do not want.

@OwenJones84 Never actually looked at this,Owen,though I am reasonably discerning to avoid nearly everything from non Freeview stations in particular those from Aus. billionaires. I find it difficult enough to pay for BBC license fee each year.

@a516digital If com7 is being removed, it can,t be far off round here. Might be wrong, these might be three network! Who are using 900mhz. What I have found out from alot at work and where my parents live is freeview is very weak at the moment,
