@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.

@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…

@MarcusChang1990 @virginmedia I would check out other providers Marcus, I downgraded from 200mb b/b to 100mb, maxit TV down to lowest mixit tv (less channels than freeview) and lowest phone and my price went up instead of down. I hope you have more luck. #StaySafe

@FreeviewTV any sign of a Freeview streaming stick? Would make so much sense for poor signal areas or houses with thick walls!

Wtf? @CourtTV on Freeview has closed?!! Why? I've really enjoyed watching that channel the last few months, especially the Derek Chauvin trial, and there were a couple of trials I was looking forward to later this year. Very disappointing.

Got my mom a cheap Freeview HD box for her bedroom. Problem 1: as I plugged in the antenna cable the board in the Freeview box fell loose, so I had to void the warranty, open it up, and find the board was just not secured in place at all, even though there was a screw hole.

@Peter_Fitz Now I only know them as freeview/on demand apps, because my antenna broke 3 years ago and I never bothered to fix it.

@a516digital @hischeekiness @ukdtt Also noticed court TV, the much hyped about channel has left freeview. Dads had enough of freeview. Too much returning etc. And the main aerial crashing down in last wèeks gales. As he understands freesat the challenge here is getting him using that.

@CourtTVUK Why have you taken Court TV from Freeview? It says ‘service closed’? Is it now only available on pay platforms such as Sky/Freesat? Neither are totally free, for FreeSat you need a box and dish. Freeview is available to all. Can’t understand why youclosed it?
