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.

@JohnNicholRAF @netflix I Should really cancel it, can’t remember last time I watched anything on it!. Ditched sky 3 years ago, don’t miss it. Freeview box with recording capability just fine. Have to say Britbox is pretty good

@emerald88604982 @ladydebbie6 @KensingtonRoyal I would never pay for tv. Freeview has loads and getting better every day. Most things on sky Netflix prime etc end up on Freeview anyway.

@badmissk @366DaiChallenge I bought a telly for my pensioner sister. I went into Currys and said "doesn't have broadband, not interested in streaming or 'smart', just wants the Freeview channels". You literally can't buy such a thing. I walked out with a JVC with 90% of its functionality she'd never use.

@Lauren1994_27 Good. It is not too bad, really. We always find something to watch. Unlike the Freeview TV.

@PunchyPiks @TalkingPicsTV I agree - it is a wonderful service but you can get it on Freeview for nothing.

@Bridgetpee It will depend on your tv. Your tv might have Freeview installed. Find or download the tv manual for help. You might need to plug the aerial cable straight into the back of the tv and then tune the channels. Smart TVs are different again. Sing out if you need more help
