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…

@JBlairSco @Gwyn_Dr @S4C It’s not a connection error or a broadcaster error- it’s an error by the company that broadcasts the Freeview multiplex. There is literally nothing S4C could have done themselves to fix it.

@BestDrWho @Telegraph And the British public are paying for this. The BBC are the worst channels on so called freeview.

@Gwyn_Dr @eddsirr @S4C Freeview went down. S4Cs links in the event of failure are not the best to this platform. As the psb broadcaster they would be able to connect directly, as sat link up or ip to VM. Saying it’s on other platforms doesn’t work with psb media. Need to universal access

@NadineDorries I hope you are going to hold a public enquiry in to the lack of an emergency plan for the state broadcaster Channel 4. The channel is still down on Freeview HD after several hours, other broadcasters have been able to recover/switch locations. This is unacceptable

@4Viewers Hi has the technical issue that forced Channel4 off-air yesterday affected audio description? Just watching #FoxysFearless48Hours and there is no audio description despite it being listed as having AD. I double checked and AD is definitely enabled - watching on Freeview

More 4: if you're on Freeview, availability varies. It's still off air in some regions - i.e. you'll just see a logo top left. In other areas, it's back and earlier issues with poor picture quality are being resolved. Sat/cable viewers are already back to normal.

Why S4C has been affected on Freeview: S4C playout is at the new BBC Cymru Wales HQ in Cardiff. But the feed gets sent to London to be combined with Channel 4's Freeview service. The finished multiplex is sent to Welsh transmitters. The fire in London messed things up.

@FreeviewAdvice JVC tv with freeview play is throwing up error FVP-300 on iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4 and My5. Have power cycled the TV and reset the wifi and still getting the error. Aerial is fine as live freeview channels still working, any idea how to fix this?

@BBC The reason for the BBC losing the streaming business is coz you choose crap programs for us to watch! That goes for all General TV programs including what we’re to watch on Freeview we’re fed up with watching repeats. That’s Why people don’t want to pay for TV licenses!

@JBlairSco @eddsirr @S4C But it's not an "on-air" failure. It is an issue at a third party site when the multiplex signals for Freeview are encoded.
