    @virginmedia I got through eventually but now I have a new problem!! Loads of channels have disappeared. There should be no changes to my package. I’m effectively paying Virgin to supply me with Freeview! What’s going on?

  • smurph25 Jamie Murphy (@smurph25) reported

    @bbcthree Maybe should've added a [*] on Freeview HD number, as it is not available in Wales (part time S4C HD service) and Scotland (BBC Scotland HD).

    @BorisJohnson People in rural Devon mid have stone-age broadband, trickle water supplies, no mains sewage, no mobile signal, no freeview signal, no public transport, but plenty of potholes and powercuts. And you want to provide football pitches with taxpayer money?

    @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.

  • nichols_tim Lord Worzel Binbag of Custard, Esq. (@nichols_tim) reported

    @nicholsonprop @DavidPoulden Then you and your GBeebie chums can freeload off the rest of us. Who do you thinks pays for the Freeview service GBeebies transmits on?

  • CouchCommunique Real name goes here (@CouchCommunique) reported

    @wheeplumb @bbcpress @BBC Except you can't have public service and subscription. And how do you make people pay over freeview. And radio.

  • LumpyPete Lumpy Pete (@LumpyPete) reported

    @BBCThree One word. Shallow. Pandering to 'yoof' never works. To think 3 used to have great science and factual shows. Now look. And cramming it back on has messed up my freeview big time, so thanks for that BBC, never seem to get it right these days. #bbc3

    @carriewarrie1 @RuthieRehh @JackieSharpe1 if they enter your house and you have a tv that plays freeview channels your telly might be switched off you can tell them you never watch live channels they will still do you for it cause you have equipment

    I'd be surprised if a new weekly TV magazine launched. Although I guess it's possible, maybe one just providing listings for Freeview? Of course, not only would this depend on gaining readers, pricing would also be an issue.
