@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.

@itvnews I complained about that awful erectile disfunction advert that appears on some Freeview channels, sometimes in the day & at teatimes, when kids will be watching & they didn't do anything! They said it was fine. It's not nice when young grandkids ask what erectile disfunction is!

@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.

My dad has alzheimers had to buy him a Freeview TV so he only has 1 remote control. Went to @virginmedia to cancel the TV off his package and they want to charge £80 and increase his monthly fee to £59! Yet new customers can get phone and broadband for £28 a month for 18 months!

@DigitalJonathan @TobyWoody ***** sake, are you still blathering on? What's a PhD got to do with the issues you or your esteemed wife were having? For some people adjusting settings DID work. If your issues were related to Freeview then probably theirs weren't.

@LeeMcilwaine @TobyWoody There you go. You didn’t have all the facts, jumped to a patronising conclusion and still shared a solution. The problem was with Freeview. Not our TV settings ;)
