Damien Ashton-Wellman (@DamienAshton) reported from Birmingham, EnglandLooking 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.

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.

🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England@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…

decryption (@decryption) reportedNow none of the catch-up apps work. Like the option to load them via Freeview just isn’t there despite the option for HbbTV turned on. Did another factory reset and still not there??? Piece of ****. Gonna buy a 4K Apple TV and use that.

Bobby Low 🇬🇧 (@BobbyLo24733369) reported@DawnieR2 @GBNEWS Can you get the App, or sky tv?. The freeview is pretty bad.

EB B260 (@B260Eb) reported@AnnSkelly3 Don't go for Virgin, it's awful. The woman I work for was with sky and paying a fortune. One of the other staff recommended virgin, think it was because she got £50 for recommending it. All freeview channels are now gone. So called Free virgin channels are terrible

Alan Royston (@pagechord) reported@simonnread I've struck lucky today, normally Talking Pics pixelates. Will record and watch later. Ever since they tinkered with Freeview the signal has been appalling. Laurel & Hardy still funny to this day.

oh no (@CMACYT) reported@JimityBlack @matharu_gaurav @kieraneverson Well true but whatever freeview package i saw it on didn’t have an hd version of gb news available and it looked horrible
-
Rexy (@Rexymorgano) reported@jimwaterson Dont forget shutting down. Their sky and freeview slots are worth money. I give it until end of August.

blow 2021 (@hexodecimal) reported@afneil @GBNEWS The channel is too much of the same for my liking. Good to see you on TV again but your signal isn't strong enough for me to get it on Freeview

DJ Midarezaki, Esq. 🇬🇧🇭🇰➡️ #LivesMatter (@DJMidarezaki) reportedHi @news_ntd Not sure what has happened to your streaming server but it now stalls so often to be unwatchable, and your feed to Channelbox (Freeview 271) is of ridiculously low resolution the picture looks so blurry.
