"My sky Q is fucked and can’t get an engineer till the 5th of December!

What happened to it? Mine's going weird. "
Started being really laggy Saturday night, wouldn’t pause and then would freeze and lose signal. Sunday night at 9pm when I’m a celeb started it froze same yesterday at 9pm now today it won’t turn on at all. My neighbour has sky q and theirs isn’t working either. Other sky plus boxes are working. Don’t know if it’s anything to do with the Netflix app being added. No idea. Tried knocking it off and all the things they said to do over the phone. Won’t work. Watching I’m a celeb on my laptop now on sky go. |

Makes me laugh seeing all the clever dicks saying they don’t watch Telly and they don’t miss it , or need it , books are better etc.... Maybe in THEIR opinion that’s the case , but for most of us it’s an integral part of our lives . And there’s nothing wrong with that . |

So agree with this. And shock horror, I do also read books and do other things. I like to cuddle up on the sofa in the evening with Ivory and enjoy watching the big bad telly.

Haven't had a tv for 14 years, actually find it really boring when we stay somewhere with one. Though love not having to go to the pub to watch the rugby  |

Calm down Doris.
Some people love their tv, some people don't.
I've not had one for eight or nine years. Think 99 per cent of the programmes are rubbish.
But that's my personal choice.
It's not a personal slight at the tv watching majority... |

Defensive much
Watch it- don't watch it - no bother!
I haven't owned a TV in years but I still watch Netflix and films online etc ..
I can't be doing with reality TV drivel or soaps etc ..
The news depresses me - and I'd rather watch something when I have time than have constant advertising and nonsense on in the background.
There really are better things to do! |

I’m not being defensive at all , I’m just saying that the majority of the British public enjoy watching the television .
If your opinion is that there are better things to do , then that’s fine by me . Enjoy doing the things you feel are better to do , meanwhile I’ll carry on watching the news , the constant advertising and the nonsense  |

I have a TV. Kids got it for me as they felt sorry for me.
I have an aerial I have to move about a bit and balance to get the best picture.
I always get a good reception on QVC. Also the Craft Channel. Never realised I needed a die cutter before now but I do! I really do! |

Yes but it sounds cool to pretend you don't watch telly, especially mainstream telly. Nit like she asked if anybody watches telly it not, but they just needed to thrust their coolness at us.
Personally we watch bloody loads, luckily kodi would save us from sky breaking, or Netflix or amazon prime. We watch loads of telly |

Mine went weird and the man down the phone had to send stuff to it to fix it... Ended up wiping ALL MY RECORDED STUFF
Literally years of things I'd recorded and mostly not even watched.

I agree, 100%. Have been TV-free for 11 years now. And same, if I want to watch anything, there is always Netflix, Prime and catch-up TV. But then it's on my terms, when I want to watch it. |

I grew up in a house where the TV was always on - my mum liked it as background - even if she wasn't watching it.
The constant depressing news and sports and drivel made me want to scream 
One of the things I love about living on my own is that it really is all on my terms
No sports, adverts, drivel or " background noise "
It's never on your terms when you're bombarded with advertising. |

Me too. I get annoyed though that neither of them seems to be able to speak more than a few words of French. |

Thing is I don’t even have an ariel so can’t watch nothing at all. The main sky box is not working so neither are the two mini boxes in my daughters room and my room.
I just like watching I’m a celeb and emmerdale and just having a little chill when I sit down in the evenings. |

Absolute nightmare.
Never trust anyone who doesn't have a tv.
Seriously though, I feel sorry for those without a TV. There have been some seriously excellent shows made in the last few years. I'm not taking about soaps and loose women and the like, but great TV. |

Next Wednesday! My neighbour is having problems with theirs too, my opposite slightly diaganol to me neighbour also has problems with hers. Seems to only be sky Q not normal sky, I’m wondering if the adding of Netflix has done something to it.
I’m watching stuff on my laptop but sucks having a 60” telly there that doesn’t work! |

I choose not to have a tv ... had two kids who chose not to have a tv!! Not enough hours in the day to sit down and watch one ... the good programmes I get on DVD so never felt I've missed out on anything especially life |

Does your TV not have any streaming apps or the ability for you to cast to it from your phone?

So if they can't get an engineer out does that mean they will reduce your bill for the downtime?
I find SkyQ crap, bought a brand new smart TV, got SkyQ and since it's been wired in the telly will click off and on at random, probably a dodgy cable but can't be arsed to check. Only does it when tye Sky box is on. |

They’re taking £13.50 off my bill if it’s fixed Wednesday when the engineer comes so that’s to compensate for 9 days without any tv services. What they should do is compensate for the two mini boxes I can’t use either. |

I really watch TV dvd are my treat when totally bored. I read both books and online and I don't allow visitors unless totally have to my home is my cave it's like the 21st century never arrived. Basic stuff is mod cons no WiFi only data mobile Internet access if required is other places for full information. I have had to buy a sky box puerly for better free channels for my friend that visits other wise still stuck to free view.
I wouldn't worry too much about the delay |

I had a wall in the flat that was bare, so I bought a tv to fill the gap. I expect I’ll watch it at some point. I am just busy working and doing other things. |
