    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…

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

    @jwripple Ah, Ok: that sounds "better" John but maybe that's a relative term if the connection has come adrift! I hope you can get it fixed without too much of a problem. At least Sky Arts is free to view: one can access it via FreeView or FreeSat if you aren't already a subscriber.

    @Kaimetsu_Fgc I had the freeview run off lmao so any re runs I could get through CITV etc was what I watched, Beyblade was my **** back in the day

  • PeterTowers1 Peter Towers (@PeterTowers1) reported

    @BBCNews Why no sign language on World Service 231 on Freeview? Very poor BBC.

  • TracemjSmith TMJS ✊🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 (@TracemjSmith) reported

    @Jakbar1 @JolyonMaugham It's a freeview channel. I have a sky box but not sky channels and find it by going to news channels then scrolling down.

  • SandraRankin_UK Sandra (@SandraRankin_UK) reported

    @thursdaysangelx Virgin Media and Freeview also have it but it would depend on what content they buy into. From what I have seen it tends to be older shows. You never know, it’s not a channel I watch that much.

  • CallyJones47 Carolyn Jones (@CallyJones47) reported

    @BritishTelecom - BT engineer due between 8-10 but no sign of him?? We have no access to BT Sport & quality of TV with the new freeview box is awful so we want a refund on our subscription.

    @gibsly_ this was the only show i ever watched as a kid i never had sky so whoever decided to air this on freeview telly was a legend

  • stephenfarrow Stephen Farrow 🇪🇺 (@stephenfarrow) reported

    @wtb6chiny @rbripley The last time I saw it was a few months ago, on one of the more downmarket movie channels on freeview. They had the magnificent bad taste to cut to a commercial break *right* in the middle of the earthquake.

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi Freeview we have an apartment block in Malton, North Yorkshire. All the TVs have been retuned but the signal is weak and on most of the TVs the picture or the sound is distorted. How can we resolve this problem as it is affecting our business... thanks

  • JohnT1062 John Turner (@JohnT1062) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice The freeview signal in my area is very poor today and has been for the last 24hrs. Is there aprobelm with the local transmitter? My Postcode NR31 9
