@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…

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.

@blaiklockBP @BBC Pay the fines - I can get you round that, don't watch the BBC at all once you cancel the licence. Unplug it from the aeriel, delete the freeview apps. It is hard the first week, then it gets so easy you'll think why you were ever addicted to that crap.

@DrHoenderkamp @BBC How's that going to fund radio transmitters, freeview, local TV reporters, the world service, broadband rollout, other UK language channels such as S4C, etc. It would mean taxes would go up to support that as commercial companies wouldn't find that.
