    @BoostTorbay @AndrewBrazier1 Never used the first two options. Very much old school. None of the fancy pants Sky or Virgin Media either. Just plain old Freeview for me

    @virginmedia This is only part of the problem(s) here, they advised that a manager would call me back immediately, I last spoke to them on 1st May, once we knew we were getting charged £75 per month for Freeview. I really don't want to speak to an agent, I want a phone call from a manager

  • MarcAllen81 Marc Allen (@MarcAllen81) reported

    @vistaextra @Callumizatt @virginmedia Definitely a Virgin problem... all channels not just those. I've switched to freeview and it's fine.

  • RDiz82 Dizzle🇳🇱 (@RDiz82) reported

    So @virginmedia, do you think it acceptable to have us, a loyal 9 year customer, who asked to downgrade, removing Sky Sports/Movies from the package to now having basic Freeview channels, but now charging us £75 PER MONTH for the so called privilege??

  • PaulSRobson PaulScott (@PaulSRobson) reported

    @Archie167 @RupertLowe10 Freeview has PPV built in. You can see the signal but you can't decode it.
