@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…

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.

@GBNEWS @jf_hanley I'm really upset we won't be able to watch on our bedroom freeview tv as our signal is from a relay transmitter & not a main transmitter. We only have virgin on the main downstairs TV. 😡

@manizhkin @Iightuptheroom They dropped the junior eurovision like a bad habit after 3 years. Channel 4, I could see being a good alternatively. Even Sky, to an extent. Who have the option of putting it one of their freeview channels to get around the restriction of non sky subscribers.

@bagga2007 Oh no! Do you have devices for streaming and an internet connection that’ll support it? The Freeview channels all have free apps to watch their programs. They should tide you over until you replace the TV.

So after 6 years I thought I'd come back to #skytv only to find out there are more access to channels on #freeview wow what a let down. Paying this package cost every month is gonna be a bitter blow. #scam

@GBNEWS Still not in (awful) SD or HD on satellite, but is on Freeview (in awful SD). Don't be like @SkyNews as the only news outlet not in FTA HD. #GBNews

@Alichat66 @TheBembridge Nothing on freeview/freesat or don't you have that? I'm just going to use catch up service as I refuse to pay for BBC rubbish

@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

@SkyHelpTeam Yep will be doing. Just noticed you’ve also put up my bill to over £100 now without any notice. I’ll contact to cancel you can come collect your equipment and I’ll go freeview. Absolutely shocking prices.

@lbc the bbc Is a good thing if it needs a new funding model it should be general taxation like every other public service. Subscription won't work because of freeview and also the radio networks can't go on subscription either
