Had a Visit from TV Licence Man
Had a visit from a TV Licence man very recently. He seemed pretty nice. I don't have a TV licence as I watch programmes after they've been broadcast, although I do admit I have watched the odd programme live, but the cable is usually in a box full of other cables upstairs. TV man asked if I watched TV as it was being…

moving home - sky accounts
Hi We're moving shortly (Yay) and not sure if it will be beneficial to cancel the sky where we are and then be a new customer in partners name to get new customer deals or just move the existing contract across.

Switching to Netflix etc from regular TV
In this last week, due to the BBC's shameful bias in it's news casting I have decided, if I am able, to change over to a service that will allow me to cancel my TV licence and therefore give nothing to the BBC. I am really sad about this (I did hold the BBC in very high regard and never minded paying for the licence…

Strange, frozen picture on Sky+ box
I was watching The Closer on Sky last night and just before a break the picture froze for a few seconds, so I missed what Brenda said as she walked out of her office door. So I rewound to a few seconds before it froze and pressed play and the picture and sound replayed back perfectly. I would have expected something like…

We had some offers on our account that had come to an end, we have tv, broadband, and talk with sky, so I phoned up to see what could be done to bring the price down, another offer or lose channels, as our monthly bill had near doubled. But was told nothing could be done to bring it anywhere near to what we were paying a…

tv licence
don't know if this is the right place to ask this but I'm curious there must be an answer ?? nowadays when you can't just watch t.v through an aerial most people have sky dishes or virgin boxes so why do we still have to pay a licence fee for BBC 1 etc - as I'm typing this I'm thinking its because we can still watch the…

Cancelling YouView with BT Vision
BT offered me a YouView box for "free" (but there were activation and delivery charges, so not really free), with a £5/month BT Vision subscription.

Sky contract is up tomorrow..
Hey, so I've been with Sky for 3 years now. However, last year I got myself into a 12 month contract when Fibre optic was rolled out in my area. My contract runs out this week, so I'm thinking of alternatives. I can't get Virgin as I'm not in a cabled area. I have been looking at BT, and although I really would like…
