👑 NG Football 👑 (@Bigdeano88) reportedAnyone else watching Sky Sports News on Virgin Media channel 509 having problems? The picture is flickering/bouncing and the text at the bottom is really blurry. Every other channel, including the other Sky Sports channels, is absolutely fine. Anyone else getting this? @virginmedia
-
Ed Jones (@edujones14) reported@Johnty14 @virginmedia Better than when they came to my house. I’m not a customer but they still came while I was out and dug up plants in my front garden to access connecting services I didn’t ask for. Then refused any contact with me afterwards due to not being a customer!
-
BB (@TheWazzo) reported@virginmedia @FredWhitbread You didn’t need to send your standard reply, everything you needed to know was in Fred’s post, he’s trying to help you.
