Hello


OK, here is the issue...I have a Virgin line coming into the flat, apparently. I do not want to go with Virgin, I want to buy a Freeview box. Can I use the line already coming in to the flat to connect the Freeview box to the TV?


I am so confused! It does not seem to be a standard TV ariel!


Can anyone help!

Agreed - a set-top aerial will suffice as long as it is near a window and as far away from electrical interference as poss. (use an extension to acheive this if necessary); and if you're not on a bus route and have no moped/scooters frequently whizzing by your place it should be cushty.

Some of the newer set-top ariels are pretty good. Back in the day I spent a few bob on many a rubbish one


But if you plan to be there for at least a couple of years I would have an aeriel installed properly


OR


Depending on your viewing habits, you might have a PS3 or an xbox 360


with PS3 you can use the BBC/ITV/C4 players over broadband, and xbox lets you stream new films and watch sky (if you have access to a sky login account)


all without an aerial

If you get Virgin telephone and broadband they throw in TV service for free.

WE just use a freestanding aerial with our freeviews, and they're fine about 95% of the time. The other 5% I have to hold it whilst standing in a weird position while missus mockers tortures me with the repeat edition of Eastenders.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest.
