  @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.

  @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…

  His Grace, The Lord Godpikachu, Earl of Doncaster. (@Godpikachusan) reported 3 minutes ago

  @TheMekon_Venus at one point Bread was being shown on an endless loop on the "Thats entertainment" freeview channel, alongside "man about the house" and "Steptoe & Son". I never found bread to be funny or entertaining in any way, and other than the phrase "lilo lil", it is not memorable.

  @drewwagar A show I've never seen mostly due to not being signed up with any streaming services, I'm patient it'll come onto Freeview at some point like the others in time.

  Freeview channel 97 Hobbycraft TV What's happened to red button service?

  @sparry951 @diablik_uk @BENEFITS_NEWS It'll be a slow creep; for many years now some channels on the Freeview EPG have in fact been streamed. Freeview recorders are still readily available for those that want them; if you're using Sky/Virgin etc. you're already NOT using the Freeview service that is 'under threat'.

  @putthetellyon It's down on the Freeview TV too. I was waiting for the weather after the main news, except it just kept rolling the news ident.

  Mother has been settled into the respite home and will now be able to watch crap TV to her heart’s content without me having to explain for the hundredth time how to work freeview on the iPad

  @LeeVicarage @NewsMurray Yep from 2029 I think no more sky dish you can’t even order sky q now as a new customer it’s all gonna be sky stream , so if I can’t record anything anyway I’ll stick with Netflix and freeview

  @RhianReads1 @richardosman On my Freeview box it is easy. Just ignore the channel buttons and go down to categories, then click on sport. All the choices come up there.

  not putting Crewe on the radio seems a bit stupid tbh. I mean, do they even know what freeview is in Crewe?
