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…

@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!

Apparently @JolyonMaugham was supposed to be on @SkyNews today giving opinions. It was canned at last moment. I've been a Sky customer for 20 years. Had enough of this sh*t will not be renewing next contract. Freeview and contactless satellite TV for me from now on.

Apparently the BBC et al have pledged millions to Freeview to invest in the service. Sorry, pledged MILLIONS (it's a tabloid headline). That's lovely but personally I'd just like a digital signal. It's been over a year now. There will be no licence fee payment this year. Nope.

@Complyorcry @Back_Two_Mee To @TalkTalk they are okay but the broadband is not a good as VM but it's okay; it cut the monthly bill in half. I have since dropped their tv service and bought a freeview recorder. Monthly bill for broadband/phone £38

@stnapirrem @LukeEdwardsTele Sky is tied to a multi year deal. And if they left the market and football goes back on Freeview, is that such a bad thing?
