Re: Channel 5 Signal

I was hoping it would be sorted today but it's not and i was wondering if anyone else is getting this and if it will ever get sorted.
You're lucky that your house is still connected to the analogue TV signal at the tap in your nearby street cabinet. Unless you're actually subscribing to analogue cable TV, you're not entitled to this service (except in a few locations where VM still has a service obligation, but that's almost certainly not the case for you). If you report it as a fault, they will either tell you to unplug your TV from the cable because it's not meant to be plugged in in the first place, or else send someone to disconnect the TV feed in the street.

If I were you I'd keep your head down and hope it sorts itself out.
