    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…

    @SkyHelpTeam Regretting getting skygo. Not only are we basically paying for freeview the satellite signal has been gone all evening. This isn't the 1970s. Absolute joke and will be cancelled.

    @ImagesZx It seems to rely on what the definition of live TV. If a live program is available on Freeview, Cable TV or Sky (or any related streaming service) then that requires a license. You need for example a license to watch Sky News live on YouTube. (1/2)

    @cassyofLondon @njamurphy It's been happening most of this morning, losing certain freeview channels. Checked with neighbour, same issue. They must be working on the London transmitter. Would be nice if they could pre-warn us it is going to happen, rather than thinking there is something wrong at our end!

  • BoyCharioteer Stephen Miller (@BoyCharioteer) reported

    @DjDirtyDan87 @BenShoveller We simply switched to the old TV aerial on the freeview TV set. The premium TV is off for a few hours. If that is the worst that people are suffering then they are very lucky people. I always found Virgin Media service excellent.

    @amolrajan You must be free to speak, even if it’s hating on Kate who many of us admire and who will be our Queen. If the Beeb feel it’s ok to pay someone with these views, no problem. But we can’t watch other Freeview channels unless we pay for your ‘bricks’ Time for that to change.
