    I think you have bigger problems than a broken TV.
    Chill out.

    Something Hintza posted has obviously upset you, but I can't see anything untoward.

    Anyway, whatever happens here, you're going to be without a TV for a while - unless you can borrow one.
    Even if the CC company agree to pay you back in full, it won't happen today or even in the next week so the best bet IMO is get it off to LG ASAP and ask them if they can make it a priority.

    I'm almost hesitant to suggest anything but ....... perhaps you could fill some time reading or similar?
    Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

    You jumped on your moral high horse and questioned if I only have one TV in the house which YES I DO and how should i watch TV on a borrowed laptop ?

    'You only have 1 TV' sounds more like a clarification than a ****ing contest for who has the most tellies to me.

    As for how to watch TV on borrowed laptop, you can use iPlayer, ITVPlayer, 4OD etc., or use a TV card

    Hintza's point was "if you only have one TV then here is an option for how to watch TV - use the device that you are using to type these posts on the internet."

    If it's a borrowed laptop you are using today, then see if you can borrow it for a few more days.

    I can understand the crippling effects of arthritis and how difficult it is to live with, but you need to remember that people are trying to help you here, not trying to pick fights with you.
    Are you on Oramorph or patches?
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?

    Look at the link Hintza helpfully posted earlier.

    You know f all about me, how this crappy illness cost me my house my job, everything i own. Im not playing any card, I mentioned my condition for reasons no more than it would look ridiculous for someone fit, well and healthy to worry about not having a TV but when the most you can do is drag yourself to the sofa to try and kill the boredom that is laying in bed most days not just due to the arthritis but the 300gm + of morphine daily it takes to keep the pain under control, then yes it becomes a very big thing.
    So keep your internet brave, fiery angry face to yourself, people like you hide behind keyboards thinking there safe. It makes me sick.
    Woe is me.....woe is you, get a life. All you had to do if you wanted to interact with my question was reply, not judge if you thought it was unreasonable or not.


    If you spoke to your CC issuer like this I'm not surprised that they are being less than helpful !
