Re-routing the main phone line & also Sky?
Is this an !!!! of a job or is it not too bad? And what does it entail? I suspect i'd have to get Sky & BT to do their bit as i doubt i could do it without knocking the house down.

Haggling over Sports Add-on
Hi everyone, I've read at length (and indeed participated) about haggling with Virgin/Sky outside of contract to get good savings. But I wanted to ask if anyone has specific experience of haggling over adding an 'add-on' service during contract. For example, I would like the football next season - not desperately - but…

Only one aerial but 2 tvs

This makes me mad.
It seems the aerial installation trade is full to the rafters with morons, but this takes the biscuit. Quite tempted to report it somewhere if I knew who would be interested. http://www.protv.co.uk/newsarticle.html?id=53

Where can I find a list of all films etc on Netflix?
I've recently moved from Lovefilm to Netflix (currently on free month) but am finding it difficult to work out what is actually on Netflix.
