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…

@bbcpress Why do I have to pay for a "Service" I don't use anymore other than watching repeats of BBC repeats which aren't even televised by The BBC anymore? I watch Freeview channels but not any BBC ones anymore.

The postponement of the Blackpool game means the #asfc game at Crewe will be on all frequencies @BBCLancsSport (95.5/103.9/104.5FM, DAB, 855MW or Freeview 720) if you fancy syncing up your iFollow with the commentary. Sadly not a good enough signal to be overseas...!

@OliverDowden. HELP. Please, please do something about Freeview TV. The content is negative, woeful and not fit for purpose - and for some this is all they have. It could be a tool for positively impacting on the nations mental wellbeing.

@ChrisHewis I remember my excitement getting Freeview channels,now the family make me pay exorbitant amounts for them channels that come in the telephone lines on the inter web - Netfilms, Wow TV, & Amazon Plus, but we’ve never been tempted by satellite - can’t afford to put one into space

@TraceHits When will you have your own channel on Freeview? I know your on channel 271 but I have problems connecting my TV to the Internet. I hope in the future that you will have this channel launched properly on Freeview. I have to watch you on Sky.

@ArchRose90 Freeview recorders would face the same dilemma. Prob easier to simply replace the unit for a new design with a card reader integrated. U.K. also has the FreeSat (free satellite) service which has identical issues. Sky + cable users could simply add BBC to their current package.

@higgy365 @SkyArts The bad news is, it's nearly finished. I didn't realise until last week that @SkyArts is now on Freeview
