  • DamienAshton Damien Ashton-Wellman (@DamienAshton) reported from Birmingham, England

    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…

    @petemorristwit Simples- the @BBC should be on Freeview or a subscription service. They've screwed the British public for too long.😡

  • scott_gamer Scott M (@scott_gamer) reported

    @Page_888 @russty_russ The rebrand made sense, but the channel only airing at that time of the day on Freeview didn't. It was never going to be able to compete with the BBC and Sky, so I'm surprised that ITV's news channel managed to last 5 years on the air.

    @virginmedia is there a way to negotiate a new contract without being on the phone for 2 hours+? Raising my bill from £45 to £66 automatically when the contract ends is absolutely disgusting for what I receive. Internet that goes down and paying for the same channels as freeview?

  • brundellfilimou Mike Benjamin (@brundellfilimou) reported

    @LeapfrogMark @TalkTV @iancollinsuk Most of the BBC is not suitable for a subs service, for example, no UK news programme is subscription only (even sky is on freeview) and technically it is not possible for radio stations. An advertising and sponsorship is more realistic but other media outlets will not like it

    @APndrgrst What I like to watch is available free to air, & I don't know where else to find it. This year I tried the free apple TV sub that came with my tablet. Everything was pay per view with a monthly fee as well. I quit! I listen to the radio on Freeview too: no reception issues.

    So poor I khan only dream freeview 😳

  • EstelleBisset Estelle Bisset (@EstelleBisset) reported

    @jayrayner1 There are that many choices of chanels today that even with just freeview there are loads of alternatives so don't see the problem🤔

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie 🇺🇦 (@Brekkietweets) reported

    @putthetellyon And on top of that HD channels are actually closing down on Freeview. The picture quality of low bit-rate SD channels is increasingly an issue in a world where people have bigger TV and HD streaming services as the norm.

  • BradMacpherson5 Brad Macpherson (@BradMacpherson5) reported

    @BootstrapCook If the TV's relatively new it should have a built-in Freeview tuner. The aerial might be more of a problem though depending on how good a signal you get - digital's more sensitive than analogue, a poor signal makes it unwatchable rather than just snowy.

  • nisbetbryce Nisbet Bryce (@nisbetbryce) reported

    @BootstrapCook Sometimes. The cabling should work fine so long as the box and your TV have an HDMI port. Problem might be whether the Freeview signal in your area is strong enough to be picked up by a small aerial.
