Lost Channels after digital switchover
Hello I live in the East Midlands and since April 13th access to ITV, Ch4, E4, More4 and some other channels seems to be limited or none existent. I've retuned several times with no success. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem? Cheers.

Avoid Currys, cusstomer service at its worst!
I brought a brand new TV from Currys via their online website back in August 2009, the TV has now ceased to work. With the TV being outside of the 12 month warranty I am trying to get a replacement TV due to the fact a brand new TV should not be breaking down after 17 months. I have been in contact with Currys and LG (TV…

Sky boxes must (now) be connected or they will charge a penalty...
This is the gist of communications I started receiving from Sky last autumn regarding our (then) three Sky boxes (2x Sky+ and 1x Sky+HD), after a number of years of no hassle, a perfectly maintained account on our part, and having originally carefully ascertained more than once (but only verbally) that they would NOT…

Need to bring Sky bill down!
Hi, I'm sure there have been umpteen threads about this, but our last Sky bill for the month was £110. Whilst I'm happy to keep Sky, I want to get the bill down. We have 2 Sky HD boxes. Hubby wants to keep the 2nd box and TV, because the kids watch their programmes or play on the Wii etc and hubby can still watch his…

Currys faulty tv - 3 months old
Hi, we bought a 50" plasma TV from Currys on the 28th Dec. We paid £600 in the sale. Last night the picture went hazy and to cut a long story short it has been proved to the SCART inout on the TV itself having gone faulty (the online help desk agree). They're solution? I have to wait in from 8am to 6pm tomorrow for the TV…

Realistic alternatives to Sky ?
OK, I like Sky and I think it offers a half decent product but I think the prices are too high and I'm coming off a 6 month 1/2 price deal and to be honest, I'm at the point where I could just tell them to stuff it and walk away. In addition to the TV I have my phone line with them which is fine though having to pay for…

Sky re-installation - should I insist on the cabling to be changed?
Hi all, When I last re-installed Sky at my house, the engineer insisted that the cabling did not need to be changed and that it was guaranteed for 50 years or something. However, my parent's Sky installation is about as old as it gets (much older than mine) at least 10-15 years I think. Anyway, I may be ording Freesat From…

FreeSat from Sky: HD Box for £175 - is it a good deal?
Hi all, My parents have just bought a Sony Bravia HD TV. Their 10+ year old Sky box has conked out and I think that there is something wrong with the LNB / wiring as only some channels could be received and some channels degrade depending on the weather. My parents mainly only watch PCNE Chinese and I was looking for the…

Sky can't turn television service off?
Dear all, I hope someone might have encountered a similar situation and be able to help me out. I'm moving abroad for work and rang Sky up to tell them (I only have their TV, not phone and broadband). I'm about nine months through my contract and quite happy to pay to the end of it, as I explained to the woman I spoke to.…

Free DVD player!
Found two DVD players in the communal wheeliebins yesterday. First one I pulled out works okay (tray needs a wiggle on loading, and sometimes I have to give the disc a push to start it spinning). The SCART cable came out of the wheeliebins months ago, so that was free too. Just wanted to share that. Sorry this is not a…
