    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.

    @itvnews I complained about that awful erectile disfunction advert that appears on some Freeview channels, sometimes in the day & at teatimes, when kids will be watching & they didn't do anything! They said it was fine. It's not nice when young grandkids ask what erectile disfunction is!

    @madaboutHolly @Lee_JM75 Who's watching this bad boy on Freeview channel 70 ,Horror, right now😁💩💩💩

  • ellrbrown Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, England

    @mrgrahamreed @BBCiPlayer I think I only saw season 1 on Sky 3 on Freeview. Never saw the rest of it. The classic '70s Battlestar got shown on BBC 2, in the '90s.

    @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…

  • Stephowd Stephanie Howard (@Stephowd) reported

    @LordFrodsham @HackedOffHugh A surprising number of people in this discussion don’t seen to be aware that the license fee doesn’t just cover the BBC but 70 Freeview channels & all radio. Anyone who doesn’t want to pay the fee can disconnect their TV, watch Sky Sport down the pub and Netflix on their computer

  • Carpe177 Anthony Carpenter (@Carpe177) reported

    Why does Amazon Prime cut off my tv, comes up telling me I have a Reuter problem when I'm now on Freeview ch 23 Dave ja vu? Rick Stein. (Oh, I'm Not on internet a year now, or its tv. A too costly scam! Now Use 4G.)

  • SimplyMetric Kevin Hall 🇪🇺 (@SimplyMetric) reported

  • willis_talks Wayne Willis 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🌏🌳🎹🎙️🚶‍♂️💡🐾 (@willis_talks) reported from City of Kingston upon Hull, England

    I'm again having endless issues with #BBC #freeview channels not working in #Hull. I watch via @NOWTV box but I think it's a regional antenna issue. Is anyone else in Hull / Humber having trouble with receiving BBC channels?

  • FreeviewTV Freeview (@FreeviewTV) reported

    @SimonAnthonySt2 @NewsUK Hi Simon. There is no news as to when this service will be added to Freeview. It may be best to contact NewsUK for this information. Scott.

  • MajorClanger5 MajorClanger (@MajorClanger5) reported

    @res_to_ra_tion @meghansupporter Have you quite finished? No we had never heard of MM before she came into H's life. I live in the UK and Suits was on a USA Channel then on a little watched freeview channel here in the UK. So no we had NOT heard of her. What are receipts anyway? I haven't bought anything.

  • deirdrethompson deirdre thompson (@deirdrethompson) reported

    @KayBurley @BBCRadio4 Really..I've had to cancel my sky subscription as I could no longer afford it..I now rely on freeview..how very "80's" of me

  • PCarmichaelVO Paul Carmichael (@PCarmichaelVO) reported

    @coster_ray @WonPeople Incidentally the subscription model, as you must know, cannot work with Freeview (the most popular way for the poor and elderly to access television). So they’re a tad screwed aren’t they?
