-
cbHatter (@cbHatternew) reported@virginmedia how long till your engineers resolve the red button issue on @SkySport ?
-
Sam Rees (@SamReesO) reported@Keiran_Mark @StephenP311275 @virginmedia Yeah I know but it doesn’t always work out that way. Especially when watching live sports like F1. They only give you highlights not the full programme. Actually just found out you can get SkyQ if you call them. But point is their customer care is no better than Virgin now.
