    @Bob71136804 @BBCSport That's the iplayer. The "red button" is page 601 on freeview. You click on the screen for the iplayer and @BBCSport will force you to swear your life away that you have a tv licence and make you sign in! Many elderly, disabled, poor just do not have the wherewithall or tech!!

    @katzenzungen Moved to "BT" full fibre a few months ago and its half the price and double the speed of Virgin Media. We don't take the TV service (can't even keep up with Freeview/Netflix) but more than happy with it.

    Build up your own library of DVDs and CDs because tonight's tv is just awful. I expect terrestrial tv to be bad every night but Freeview is now following suit. Just put your own stuff on. A bit of Genesis then Apocalypse Now.
