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…

@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!

@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.

@Broadcastnow Poor move @ITV @ITVX - the channel still rates relatively healthily and in Freeview homes especially is serving an audience who may not have access to reliable online streaming (not that ITVX is a reliable online streamer!)

@etchells_frank @_DanielRyan @ITVX I have problems with the app on Sky so use the Freeview version. Still can't FF through the adverts though 😬🙄

@favesass They're forcing them onto the internet, this is insane. We could only have Freeview growing up since we barely had internet access. This is such a ****** thing to do to poor and low income families. Watching CBBC and CITV was literally one of the only things we were able to do.

@Glostermeteor @MattWWoolwich Nope. The BBC was given a significant uplift in the licence fee to implement Freeview in the early 2010s. It was then allowed to keep that uplift to fund the World Service (previously FCO) and ‘free’ licences for over 75s (previously HMT). Typically it has subsequently reneged.

@B2theRich It was dreadful. Three out of five is extremely generous. It's the type of terrible b-movie you see on a random Freeview channel at 2pm in the afternoon.

@KevinPMeagher @BriW74 It's 'The Eagle Has Landed', on BBC Four, right now, and i-Player for a few weeks' - complete with Donald Sutherland and ludicrously bad 'Irish' accent. No sign of 'Where Eagles' Dare' on any of the Freeview channels for the next while.

Ok but seriously this is actually **** Switching to streaming only when ~1.5 million houses in the UK still have no internet access and mostly rely on freeview channels for entertainment is awful. What will low economic children have for entertainment now

@AaronBastani It's the reason I'd never buy licence. (That and Sky taking Sky Sports News off Freeview if I'm honest.)

@Eugenecyclist @StevenJonMiller @terrychristian yeah not technologically possible as yet. Too many incompatible Freeview players and people with poor broadband.
