    @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…

    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.

  • genders_jason Jason Genders (@genders_jason) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @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.

    @art_of_philo @mini_saurus @Heccles94 I do google but reject cookies won't do paywalls & never buy stuff on-line, don't do online banking & only watch freeview using my rooftop ariel

  • sabrina777z SabrinaEvans01 (@sabrina777z) reported

    @ChrisGPackham Then let them pay for it. Why do I pay for a service I do not use. Maybe 10years ago I could agree but Freeview and Prime/Netflix no reason for BBC.

    @reformexposed Ooh maybe because if the bbc were forced to go subscription, it would get rid of freeview, funded by the tv licence, so to watch tv you would have to pay a blooming fortune on a subscription service?

    @DaveWeet @GBNEWS So tell me do you have Wi Fi and a Smart TV? Do you pay for satellite Sky or whatever? I don't want those I just want basic Freeview wired and never watch BBC on principal.
