@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…

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.

Christmas eve - probably one of the worst days for the aerial on the chimney to **** up, leaving us with next to no freeview. Special thanks also go to the wankers @skytv for their appalling customer service as well. Believe in better? Well if that's the alternative, shove it.

@SarahMillican75 I would really recommend the Sony movie channel that’s on freeview. It’s like the cheesy Christmas card section of the card factory. So bad, they’re good #JoinIn

@SkyHelpTeam It’s on both TVs I have. I can’t get freeview on the other so it’s clearly an Ariel issue he has caused

@GreenT128 @BBCOne Sorry, I forgot to add: I know exactly what you mean about the weird and stupid settings on TVs. Out of the box my TV had all the picture and sound 'enhancing' crap turned on, 10 minutes later it was all off and even low quality SD Freeview looked perfectly acceptable.

@FreeviewTV Why does Freeview say there are no problems with either Sandy Heath or Belmont transmitter when the whole of my local neighbourhood has no signal reception at all?

@LBC Traded in the equivalent of an all singing & dancing satellite tv service with films and sport plus Netflix thrown in for Freeview with a dodgy signal with half the stations but it does have a little British flag in the corner

@virginmedia @Ofcom just to let you know that tivo is still freezing up, whilst my wife is watching it and that your only solution is to turn it off and on is not an appropriate response. take the tivo away and deduct from my bundle and I'll get a Freeview box.

@kategarraway @skytv I would think even if problem with Sky take the aerial lead out of back of sky box and plug into back of tv get you freeview at least, won't solve wi-fi I accept.
