@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.

@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…

@whophd @garethklose Yeah, the standard EIT (think I've got the technical term right there) 7 day EPG data is still being transmitted by all Australian networks last I checked. If the green button was a MHEG thing, then it was terminated on 24/11/2017 along with the rest of the Freeview EPG service.

@Samsmilew @RonMooreMoreRon Hello Samantha. Freeview channels are all that many receive. In 2021 the BBC chose to show the same program about the DofE across all its national TV and radio stations. Folk never had the option of switching over to another BBC channel.

@chronicjayne @ITV So frustrating, but I have seen a couple of people on here say they didn't have any problems watching on Freeview. I was on Sky, how about you?

@GriffeyHilary @AnthonyICHH @MichaelsCoDub All a VPN does is mask your IP address, BBC is geoblocked in Ireland but with a VPN it makes a new IP Address look like you are in GB. Legal? Who cares? Nobody. You can get bbc free via freesat or freeview in ROI and no legal issues so....

Trying to work out what causes the interence on UHF 21 474 MHz during the day on Canvey Island. Can't all be down to atmospherics. Would be interested to hear if anyone has any ideas about this issue. It seems to make the Kent freeview comux unwatchable here during daylight hours

@AnasSarwar If the TV licence was abolished and replaced with paid ads, the option to subscribe would be there and the elderly could simply have freeview. NO TV LICENCE and you could concentrate on real issues. This is like NO. 1050 on the list of things needing addressed. Get SNP OUT!

@higginsdavidw #cblive and most Irish broadcasting is so utterly terrible and worse value for money I simply don't watch or listen. I watch UK Freeview TV. Irish presenters are overpaid amateurs and frequently I find the female presenters overly focusing on "girlie" issues. It's embarrassing
