    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.

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @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…

  • HKT3030 Nick "Concrete Farmer" Thorpe (@HKT3030) reported

    At one point, I was so into Doctor Who that I bought a Freeview box just so I could watch Torchwood on BBC Three, but I fell off after Matt Smith's first series. I've seen a Christmas special or two since and tried a Capaldi episode, but I never managed to get back into it.

    @darrengrimes_ @LoisPerry26 @CAR26_ORG What channel is it on freeview? I can never find your "TV" output.

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @SarahLoudon1 @PacerCommander There is also a Freeview advice line on 03456 505050 if you continue to have problems.

  • Matth9999 Matthew (@Matth9999) reported

    @JuliaLopezMP I was going to gripe about the iniquity of Jury service, where those who hate the idea are press ganged into it on pain of a £1000 fine, but on seeing your position.... Freeview has an expiry date, the 2038 Linux bug - specifying as UNSIGNED format would solve

  • LGUK LG UK (@LGUK) reported

    @lulu02608 Hi Louise, unfortunately LG and Digital UK were unable to reach an agreement for a Freeview Play device in time for the rollout of LG’s 2020 TV range, and this is why our 2020 models don't support the All4 app. (1/3)

  • HeleneFanUK David (@HeleneFanUK) reported

    takes a special sort of idiot to have no Freesat and no Freeview at the same time.

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    Watching a DVD-R of Quatermass 2 recorded on my DVD recorder way back in 2006 connected via scart to my Freeview box... and it looks, errm 'poor' MPEG2>analogue PAL>MPEG2 recording and watched back on a 55" 2160p screen!

  • oliverm_uk Oliver Marshall (@oliverm_uk) reported

    Just spent nearly £1000 on a new @Sony TV and the freeview experience is terrible. For those of us that still watch real TV, I feel very let down. Definitely buying @Samsung next time.

    @BBCOneDrama as freeview premieres this christmas plus two or three expensive stand alone drama specials the world does not revolve around eastenders on six times call the midwife plus strictly blankety blank specials there no need to have such poor options on bbc or itv
