@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.

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…

@send_it_baby @MartinSLewis Why would the BBC become a subscription service? Which other public services should be optional subscriptions? How do you make the radio a subscription service? What about people who watch the BBC through FTA Freeview boxes? How do you paywall that? Why would you even want to?

@steeleyp_ @BigJohnnyArcher Well I've seen a review from someone who's had hands on and they said it does "and an aerial port – which, like with Glass, is just used for Freeview backup when you’re internet is down."

Typical Friday night: The TV is crap on Freeview. Not a lot on Sky either.
