    @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.

    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…

    @IanRedman11 @FreeviewTV Exactly - and it didn't need to be that way - there could have been a plan from the moment the first HD service launched in 2010. Best option now might be a hard switchover (like France did) where Freeview SD basically closes one day and is replaced by a HD equivalent the next.

    @19mon86 Garbage isn’t it. It’s on par with local Freeview channels. Hearsay suggested that FSG were looking to copy Redsox model with the one stop shop idea. Whether it comes to fruition now is anyone’s guess but maybe the model doesn’t work in the European market bureaucracy.

    @HumanityReality @TonyTcrawley666 @voodude64 There is. They are all availble on their own streaming apps like iPlayer All4 etc. What Kapang did was aggregate them all into one place. I had a look and their other channels are still working, just not the Freeview ones. This makes me suspect its a legal issue.

  • 3_monk Monkenstien. (@3_monk) reported

    @virginmedia i will give credit to your guy on the phone desperate to try and keep me as a customer, and you have nothing for 15yrs loyalty other than a tv package we call freeview elsewhere, slower speeds and a landline i haven't used in 10yrs.

  • stanyanfan49 Roy Kelly (@stanyanfan49) reported

    @lizwoodcraft @TalkingPicsTV Probably shown again. But also on Freeview 82 red button, if you have smart tv, on their catch up service.

    Zoomers are depressed because they can never know the joy of watching Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps on a 6” screen with the Freeview box because there’s no alternative and you can’t get the internet or a phone signal at your dads gaff
