    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.

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

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @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…

    @traceyfs For weeks now, I've been baffled. I look at the day's offerings on the Sony Christmas Movies freeview channel in the Radio Times and EVERY SINGLE CHRISTMAS MOVIE on it gets two stars. How can they all be so bad? 🧐🎄

  • LazyHermit 🌪 (@LazyHermit) reported from Clydebank, Scotland

    @virginmedia Been a Virgin customer for years. Cancelled Tv but have broadband and phone. Even my Freeview channels have been blocked on my boxes!! How churlish can a company get??😳 Freeview channels?! Show some compassion to your customers

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @taffmanton give Freeview a call? @FreeviewTV @FreeviewAdvice can you help?

  • podcastsport Thorpey @podcastsport (@podcastsport) reported

    @JamieBellNZ @pm_spotter I owned a Motel for a while. The business Sky use was 13k p.a for 3 channels. The local sky sales guy assumed he had everyone over a barrel too, couldn't give a ****. I paid 1 off 6k to get freeview on all TVs, no guests ever complained. Chromecast Spark in a bar? Easy and cheap

  • kerrydupont KDP (@kerrydupont) reported

    Got an email saying TVNZ OnDemand will soon be removed from the Freeview OnDemand service. That seems like a let-down to all the people who bought DTT decoders with all the OD services built-in.

  • BriMarsh3 Bri Marsh (@BriMarsh3) reported

    @freesat_tv Got Freesat box. Can't use it,remote control signal works on same frequency as a Freeview box therefore I have to unplug 1 both sets humax ?

  • solentsport BBC Radio Solent Sport (@solentsport) reported

    *hoping not to tempt fate* #Pompey boss Kenny Jackett has never lost to a non-league opponent as a manager Can he make 9 wins from 9? Portsmouth v King’s Lynn Town is live on @solentsport from 2PM 📻 96.1FM, DAB & @BBCSounds 📺 Freeview 722

  • SPNNOWN4EVER Jayne Llewin (@SPNNOWN4EVER) reported

    Well that's it I am going to leave after being a loyal customer even if I join freeview it's got to be better than this

  • HareCensus 3 mile🏃🏻‍♂️🇬🇧 (@HareCensus) reported

    @HelenAAnderso13 My tv that can't get the extra channels is a DVB-T. I'm going to guess that yours is the same. It's probably only a matter of time before the DVB-T signal is reallocated and TVs with that style of tuner need a set top box, despite being "freeview" digitalTVs. 🙄

    Amazon Prime is shite. It takes an hour of searching to find something that barely makes you want to watch it and it turns out to be crap. ****** Freeview is better
