  • 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…

    It's been announced the BBC News HD Channel will dissappear from freeview, however the service will broadcast in SD only on channel 231. This is happening due to the sale of COM7 to EE for their 5G network. I'm none to happy about this, putting it mildly.

    @Patlin64 @mooreholmes24 @GBNEWS People living in Glengormley can't even get Freeview, cave hill blocks the signal.

    @andybegbiea Hi Andy, you're speaking with Clem this afternoon. I'm sorry to learn that your Freeview recorder box didn't run an initial set up. Please return it to store with your proof of purchase and our store staff will be happy to help you further. -Clem

    @GBNEWS , Can someone please tell me why , when I'm watching on Freeview , does my GBNews signal keep breaking up when there's bad weather coming from the west . It doesn't happen on other channels .

  • FedUpWithBadAir Dave Peterson (He/Him) Ⓥ 🇨🇦 (@FedUpWithBadAir) reported

    @ECOWARRIORSS Besides, what about places without high-speed Internet access? At least Freeview is available in places where cellular and Internet signals aren't... What a terrible and misguided plan.

  • dzonershow Association of Cartoon Talent & Services by Darren (@dzonershow) reported

    @RegularTweetsUK Also the HD versions of BBC News and Discovery Quest airing on freeview are shutting down next week due com7 band phasing out for 5g spectrum
