TV with Freeview and Sky+HD
My faithful 23 year old TV has finally given up and I’ve been given a TV with Freeview built in. I don’t have an aerial, only a Sky +HG box. I can’t get the TV to tune in at all. Is it possible to use the TV without having an aerial via the Sky box?

Renewal contract dispute with Sky TV
I wanted to make people aware of a situation that I am currently stuck in, plus see if anyone has any further ideas on how to resolve this.

Sky Router and Sky Test using App
Am I missing something here. Being at home more now, I notice that the sky router is increasingly unreliable. We lose internet access and TV service numerous times every day.

18185 Not Working?
I tried using 18185 this morning and both the 18185 number and the 0808 number appear to be dead. I used both my landline and mobile with the same result. Does anybody know if it's now defunct? If so, any recommendations for an alternative? Primary use will be on PAYG mobile phones to make occasional UK calls, so something…

Any BT TV Users out there - few questions?
Thinking of ditching Sky for BT TV, mainly because I am fed of up paying sky high prices (no pun intended) and having to argue with agents for hours to try to get any discount at all.

Vodaphone Homephone Adapter - Received
As I only have a broadband service with them, they sent me an adapter just today, although, I don't have a home phone. Is there any point in sending it back when I didn't ask for this in the first place. I don't want to be charged further down the line, nor be hassled for another service from them. Does anyone have this…

Virgin Media fake usage charges and fallout
Hello all, I wonder if I could please beg some advice. • Sat 15 July: Virgin Media suspend services, no warning. Call them and find out I have 'unbilled usage charges on phone'. Obviously I object to having services suspended for not paying for something I haven't been billed for. They say they have to send an engineer. •…
