    @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.

    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.

  • Freeview Outage in Kings Norton, England (30)Steve Ruffell (@DoubleMackem) reported

    @AlStewartOBE Freeview v cable or satellite TV. Mobile phone v smart phone. Holiday abroad v stay at home. Big brand clothes v supermarket brand. Putting more clothes on v keeping heat on.All choices we have to make to 'make ends meet'. Reasonable to check with those seeking support.

  • Freeview Outage in Kings Norton, England (31)David#Rowdy Roddy's Raybans (@PiecesofH8) reported

    If they're on the telly box, and given a freeview channel. Yep, just more *****. It's sanctioned viewing isn't it, not maverick. Reeled you in to turn you. Talk Radio and Gb news. Oh do **** off.

  • Freeview Outage in Kings Norton, England (32)Jack Russell's Rule (@Superwendii) reported

    @midkentforbrit1 First get rid of all mobile contracts and tv subscriptions. Get sim only and freeview only. This plus cooking from scratch would be a massive help for everyone to reduce their outgoings. Plus get a good freezer. Freeze yellow ticket reduced stuff. Make extra for another day.

    @FreeviewAdvice After watching All4 on Freeview, we switch back to live TV, but the sound is missing.We have to turn everything off at the mains then on again, to make the sound return.Can you advise a better way /how to avoid this problem ?

  • Freeview Outage in Kings Norton, England (34)Didcot Yard 💙 (@SixfieldsSid) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi I am having trouble with the ITV channels on Freeview, it started a few weeks ago when the picture pixelated and popped, the channel has now disappeared completely and is showing no signal, BBC channels OK

  • Freeview Outage in Kings Norton, England (35)Philip Begley (@pipbegley) reported

    The more they charge the less service they offer. My package about to rise to £121 a month, found what I want elsewhere for £46. Just broadband and sport channels. Rest covered by freeview. Don't see reason to pay to watch Rio Bravo 3-4 times a week. So many channels dulpicate.

  • Freeview Outage in Kings Norton, England (36)Claire Menzies (@ClaireMenzies12) reported

    @BBCNews @Ofcom I no longer watch BBC Breakfast coz of the way you treat your presenters, news bulletins read so fast in a way people can’t grasp what’s being said.The BBC contract with Freeview is an absolute boring disgrace & the choice of programs all it is repeats reality TV
