    @bowlestrek Get your facts straight. Johnson is not in favour of ditching the license fee, as he knows it’s a massive vote loser. Plus they’ve now realised, they can’t go to subscription fee system, as the freeview boxes that the majority of UK households use, don’t support it.

    @virginmedia hey, quick question, if i cancel my contract do i still get to keep the virgin box? And would i still be able to watch freeview channels through it? Thanks.

  • rowec1 Chris (@rowec1) reported

    @kronosarm @Steveonstradey @fesshole English regions HD need to be on Freeview, FreeSat and Sky. Plus backups. Plus switching at network junction points. Plus upgrading regional studios to HD (cameras, edit, play out). Massive expense for 28 mins at 6:30 and 3 x 6 min bulletins. That, or quality content?

    @lastminutelin If you are still experiencing problems you will need to speak to the Freeview helpline as the retune should have been all that was needed. Freeview advice line on 03456 505050

  • VikShah Vik (yeah, that one) 💙 (@VikShah) reported

    @timglanfield Very much depends on the price of the service and whether there's anything else on the channel to justify it. If it was included with Prime or Netflix then yes, but maybe not if it's on something naff like BritBox. I'd rather it went to a Freeview channel such as E4.

  • FplAndSte Fpl&Ste (@FplAndSte) reported

    @FPL_CHEF We are with @virginmedia they want to put it up to over £65p/m for Internet and basic freeview channels. I have ordered a 5G hub from 3 I think £21p/m and will obviously just get a dodgy box to go with it which would allow me to cancel nowtv sky sports etc

  • CheungSulty Sulty Cheung (@CheungSulty) reported

  • iMcWarner Jay (@iMcWarner) reported

    @virginmedia @SkyUK Virgin media up your game, 20 minutes queuing to speak to customer service about a price improvement, offered another 18 month contract with less services than I have for £60pm and most of the TV is on freesat/freeview. Sky do more for £45pm, You can do better

  • PostDocHV Dr Michael Fanner (@PostDocHV) reported

    @DaveModculture You need to get one of those recordable Humax freeview boxes. The hard drive on mine is full of films from Talking Pictures that'll I'll never get around to watching.
