  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

    @traceyfromrasen @Kavismate @SkySportsRacing @RacingTV My Freeview signal can be hopeless at best even connected to Wi-fi but the HDMI/laptop combo works well when the cat isn’t jumping on it !

    Holy ****, the Freeview channel Now 80s is playing Prince's "Batdance" right now.

  • pauljholden PJ Holden (@pauljholden) reported

    in the end dropped the landline (haven't used it in years) and dropped the tv package (we're watching everything either online or catchup or on freeview - which, weirdly, in HD seems to be a better quality). Knocks from 56 (+4 increase) down to £46 (and no increase)

    @virginmedia hi. I've got a friend who has your service, TV, broadband & phone. If you put her price up, she will drop the TV and keep broadband. Use Freeview, channels on Amazon, Discovery + & Disney. Plus Now TV. Total still cheaper than you.

    @a516digital @hischeekiness Well on freeview, they will possibly merge or better still have a time shared service,. Either of those two can empty space for another channel. Such as talk tv in april. Who knows could be part of their plans!

  • Redtagheur Eddie (@Redtagheur) reported

    Virgin Media prices going up again, MUCH MORE than the rate of inflation (again). For the same old **** that no-one watches. I'm leaving. Freeview will do now.

  • Old_Smudger Martyn (@Old_Smudger) reported

    @Richard_K_P @OldBlueyes @virginmedia That’s unfair quoting facts people 😜 I had the TV outage. It was during the day and could easily use Freeview until it came back. WiFi was fine. Since VM/O2 merger I’ve had my mobile data doubled and broadband increased to 350 from 200 - for free! Roaming announcement also 👍👍

    @catstockholm @GBNEWS That’s ok yea i managed to see if the Tv Freeview was working and their Tv version in UK is working. prob they had an internet broadcast issue.

    @Mark56623345 Apparently you can watch test transmissions on Freeview. Not sure how though as I've never had Freeview before.

  • MissLionHeart J🇬🇧🇳🇬🦁❤ (@MissLionHeart) reported
