  • SoulfulScotsman 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Stephen Howie 🍀 (@SoulfulScotsman) reported from Richmond, England

    @bt_uk @amysverse_ Dear BT. I've had the same issues this week and @virginmedia asked me to contact YOU about this as BT Sport are the programme providers / rights holders. What are we supposed to do here? We completely stuck in the middle and paying for the privilege.
