Hate Virgin - TiVo and broadband alternatives
I've been with virgin for ages and they are awful in terms of customer service. I want to change providers, and have removed my mobile phone, but I seem to be stuck with their Virgin recordable box and broadband and home phone. I don't even really want a home phone, but I don't save anything by removing it. I don't really…

Sit before reading this.
About 12 yrs ago, we bought a panasonic viera tv which was perfect for us, later we bought a freesat box and dish. Never had a moment problem. About once a year I would do a search for new channels and that's about all. Great to be able to store recorded stuff. However, a bulb went inside and no picture. We could have…

BT YouView+ box on Plusnet
I am moving from BT to Plusnet. I currently subscribe to BT Sport HD on BT TV. After I move to Plusnet, if I subscribe to BT Sport HD on Plusnet TV, will my BT YouView+ box still work? Plusnet are saying I have to buy a YouView+ box from them but I'm trying to avoid buying another box when I already have a perfectly good…

Is £17 good for sky renewal?
Hi I just wondered if anyone could advise whether £17 is a good deal for renewing sky basic bundle? I have been lucky enough to be getting free sky for the last 6 months (no idea how that happened, when I cancelled my sports bundle it took it down to £0!). They (retention’s team) have said now the lowest they can do is…

Samsung QLED from John Lewis
Hi all, I'm new here thought I was post my conundrum here (sorry of it's the wrong thread). I want to buy the new Samsung QLED TV and looked around for the best current deal and seen John Lewis does a price match and a 0% interest free credit (which I've been told ends 18th Nov). All sounds good right? However, Black…

LG43UJ670V Twin Tuner
Purchased the above TV earlier in the yeat and pleased with it. One of the reasons for purchasing was that the TV has twin tuners, one for Freesat and one for Freeview, the TV has a recording facility to an external source (HDD or USB stick) my thoughts were thatI could watch a progtam on Freeview and record one on…

What’s a 3D fan to do?
I’ve been with Sky for over 20 years. Ditched sport last year and haven’t regretted it. I sometimes watch Sky Atlantic but really it was the movies I was after. Over the past 6 months or so, the new Sky movies selections have been dire. A couple of examples are Paddington2 and The Post being on Prime and not on Sky. I have…

So I am looking to swap, but have no clue about it..we barely use our house phone, or watch the TV but do rely on a quick internet speed.

Sky owe me £740!
Hi all, this is my first post so be gentle! My Sky bill has been getting higher recently (as has everyones) so I decided to investigate a bit. I just have one SkY+ HD box, used to have Multiroom but cancelled it in July 2012. I have been a Sky customer since 2003. I noticed on the Bill it had an additional charge of £10.00…

Sky Original Bundle?
I've just found out that my parents have been paying £23.50/month/full price for the Sky Original package for many years (which no longer seems to be available and was replaced with a cheaper Entertainment package for new customers some time ago) Questions: 1. If we cancel/suggest leaving, what would be a decent retention…

New TV recommendations please
Hi I'm in the market for a new TV. I think 55" would be about right. I don't want to spend more than around £700 and obviously I would be happy to spend less! What is the best I could get for this money, in your opinion? Thanks

ditching sky all together, what would be best?
I have had sky tv for years now, but these days I rarely watch TV I mostly watch catch up or netflix. I do record stuff but its shows on channels with catch up facility. I haggled down the cost last year and signed into a 12 month contract which is about to end. I do not have a TV aerial as it fell off the roof in a storm…

Best price for Sky Sports... only want American Football
Sky Sports is getting ever more expensive, but we only want it for American Football. Can anyone tell me if there's a cheaper way to watch this, or whether there are any deals coming up? I'm not aware of any way you can buy a single sports channel or for that matter whether the NFL games are scheduled for the same side if…

Live tv from internet to TV set?
Is there anyway to stream live TV to a TV set in the kitchen? There aren't any aerial points in there and I don't want to make any. I've got a NowTv box, but it takes ages to load, plus it only has the BBC channels (via the faff of iPlayer) and ITV, there's no channel 4. Changing channels is a joke as you have to open up…
