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…

@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.

@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!

@EE We were told we could continue to use it as a freeview box and would be able to watch all the recordings. Thanks for your empty words but it remains that your customer service is dreadful. There is no need to disable them so they don’t work. #scammers #ShameOnYou

The first 12 minutes of Sky (freeview) news at 1pm today in the UK was about a trial in the USA. I am so glad i do not pay for this rubbish. I know they are owned by the same company (Comcast) as a major USA woke network

@shannadelicacy @juliegrizzy I have freeview which has lots of never watch channels but it's free and meets our requirements. I do miss almost all sports/new films but I'm not paying £80 odd per month for them. Prime, Netflix and the rest are a waste of money. They can all get stuffed....

It makes me frustrated cause i see so many hard workers out here busting their asses off, underselling themselves, posting freeview content almost every day and yall would jump in their dms begging for free ****. People barely sub to them, let alone tip.

@Helga_Otto_ @David_Suchet Helga, I don't know if this will help....I don't have Sky either, but, Sky Arts has a (free) channel on Freeview here, so I wonder if it does in Germany too. It is Channel No. 11 on the Freeview listing here in the UK.
