    I mean don’t get me wrong I definitely get more cam shows offering free preview but can get tiring with time wasters you just know ain’t going to spend money. Some of them come in freeview daily and never wanna spend like why bother doing that on AW 🙄

    Do they talk about anything else on gammon telly other than cancel culture that is being broadcasted on freeview

  • LukeMcCabe16 Luke McCabe (@LukeMcCabe16) reported

    @NickFrostSays Yeah stick every game outside the blackout Freeview, I agree. But the 3pm blackout is about keeping that culture of you go to 3pm games. The Premier League is really irrelevant in the discussion, it’s about making sure people go Carlisle when it’s -2 in January

    Virgin Media broadband is brilliant, phone line and mobile sims good, but their TV offering is poor. Alas, they package them all together. Their basic TV offering is no better than Freeview. The rest are exorbitant Sky packages etc. Apps dead slow through TiVo. Firestick v fast.

    @Penelop11785074 @OwenJones84 @GBNEWS Unfair to judge on a YT clip of anything. Shame your freeview signal is so poor. You can download the GBNews app onto your phone however and watch it live there.
