    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.

  • geovilla77 georgie green (@geovilla77) reported from Bromsgrove, England

    You don’t realise how awful freeview is until your waiting for the sky man to come to your house 🥴

    @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…

  • 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.

    @BradTRC @a516digital Same here Brad, I can,t get the signals from freeview properly at my location any way, it's just finding out that parts of this are closing. I've had sky mini box and Q for over 2 years now with no problem what's so ever.

  • SturdyWendy Wend (@SturdyWendy) reported

    @aldetect @GBNEWS Live streaming seems down but radio is working. Or freeview etc

  • EnergyGeek2 EnergyGeek (@EnergyGeek2) reported

    @SebastianEPayne The problem here is why OFCOM allowed this channel to be called "GB News" To the man in the street, it is seen as a competitor to SKY News and BBC News As evidenced by its location on Freeview, channels 231, 233 vs 236.

  • dozecat007 Boris D'Burger-Zilla (@dozecat007) reported

    Why is the 30 year old (bad) movie Jurassic Park on at least one Freeview channel every single week (sometimes several times per week?) #r4today

  • SJW5678 Sam (@SJW5678) reported

    @netgemtv No AV button to select input, sound is poor PVR service only 1 tuner, it causes problems, this box has neat TV guide but the rest is so behind the times. gets red hot, the ITV hub app is the old version, recordings often fail. just a revamp of freeview play channel 100

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    @isleofmanbbctv @hischeekiness But not (yet) from an Isle of Man transmitter. If you are *currently* receiving CBeebies HD on Freeview, you're picking up a signal from the UK, as COM7 does not broadcast on any of the island's transmitters. CBBC HD on the other hand does, it's on the PSB3 multiplex.

  • he1entweets Helen M (@he1entweets) reported

    @Mike_Fabricant Too busy slagging off @BorisJohnson to report real news . Thankfully we have Aljazeera News on freeview as we would never easily find out what is going on in the world and how it affects us here at home from BBC/SKY non news channels.

  • Cidergender Ciderboy (@Cidergender) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice cannot get Freeview sports channel help

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    The fire knocked out TV, radio and other telecommunications services on 10th August 2021. It affected TV viewers in many parts of County Durham, Teesside and North Yorkshire. Households are being supplied Freeview TV signals through a network of temporary masts until next year.

    @Saraita101 Linear TV - and Radio, whether from an actual radio or Freeview on a TV - is vital for those easily marginalised, cut-off and lonely. I'm particularly thinking of people in care homes, folds and such-like. As no OO or Twelfth fan, I feel it's a bad decision from @BBCnireland .
