  • Hamishmczzz Margot (Maddie & Hamish, dogs, sadly 🌈) 🇬🇧 (@Hamishmczzz) reported

    @MartinSLewis @itvMLshow Could you help long standing customers get better treated? I've stayed with my broadband cable service since 1997 and am now paying £94 per month at 80 to virginmedia. I don't want to change as I can't get Freeview here and they are still better than the opposition for repairs.

    @SmoothDsNuts @NoContextBrits Benny Hill is on every night on That's TV (Channel 65 on Freeview). Watched a few episodes, I had forgotten how totally awful it was, definitely the lowest of low comedy!

    @wonderlust484 If you have freeview itv4 HD is not avaliable.. so it looks.. terrible. Freesat, Sky and Virgin have the ITV4 HD channel I believe.

    @WilliamNB @tvlicensing We had loads of them letters when we lost our regional TV transmitter and every single person with just Freeview service cancelled their direct debits. It was over a million households for Teesside and little further away. They then targeted OAP's with letters 1/2
