    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…

    I ******* hate FreeView. It never works properly and every time you have to rescan to update channels, you end up loosing even more. Oh and I can’t afford Sky so don’t even go there.

  • WearsideWorrier Christopher Beard (@WearsideWorrier) reported

    @Forces_TV rapidly becoming one of the best channels on TV but alas it's no longer showing on the BT box because of weak signal in the Sunderland area so cannot watch, or record anything for catch-up later. Is this a transmitter issue? @bt_uk Still getting it via Freeview on TV

  • EFCxMorgan Morg (@EFCxMorgan) reported

    @lemonchlo Me = poor = only has freeview

  • BameWiltshire BAME in Wiltshire (@BameWiltshire) reported

    @NHSuk @bbchealth People should not have to 'Search, better health NHS' on Freeview. The BBC should provide a 24 hour channel especially for people with poor access to the Internet & who work long hours. The UK could have uniform, consistent, upto date, World standard information

    I got my current TV 2 years ago and having no Internet this morning I've just had to learn how to navigate the regular TV side of it instead of streaming. The selection of stuff on offer is shockingly bad on Freeview. 😱 At least I can still listen to @KerrangRadio! 🤘

  • Rosa60044194 Rosa 🌹 (@Rosa60044194) reported

    @FreeviewTV My freeview down all day. Just went off at 9sm this morning and still off. Have tried retuning etc no success! York area. What is the problem?

  • TheFunksterFaz Faron Collins (@TheFunksterFaz) reported

    @DaveModculture You need to get one of those recordable Humax freeview boxes. The hard drive on mine is full of films from Talking Pictures that'll I'll never get around to watching.

    FreeView is the most pointless load of crap ever.

  • TomSingleton4 Tom 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌻 (@TomSingleton4) reported

    Now got 43 channels and the signal is even worse. Sort your crap FreeView!

  • TomSingleton4 Tom 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌻 (@TomSingleton4) reported

    I’ve rescanned FreeView 10 times already this evening and keep getting 23 channels. The last time I rescanned was before Christmas last year and managed to over 100 channels. Sort your crap out FreeView!
