    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.

  • ellrbrown Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, England

    @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…

    @dansumption They’re being repeated on one of the **** late night Freeview channels (That’s TV / c65) Together with the original run (with Dandy Nicols Tony Booth & Una Stubs ) - which initially I found a bit *oppressive* to view (half out of concentrated ranting) but caught a subsequent

    @mari_stewart1 Hi Mari, #All4 is not supported on the Android TV OS. If you are experiencing issues accessing All 4 via a Freeview Play service or YouView service in this TV then please let us know.

  • simonhardwick Simon Hardwick (@simonhardwick) reported

    Main transmitters (FM/DAB/freeview) etc will most likely have backups but I remember in the big storm of 1987 that wasn’t a huge help, only one AM station (BBC local) managed to remain on air. Worth having some batteries for your radio next to your torch. /7
