Sky TV subscription costs
My elderly father has had Sky broadband and TV box (no cinema/sports etc - just the basics) for donkeys years and has just kept the payments going. It's an old Sky+ box. I found out he's paying £108 a month for it which is crazy. He isn't keen on switching because he's used to the box but I'm guessing they'll become…

Hi All We moved house in March, we moved 2.5 miles up the road so not far and we took our BT TV subscription with us but moving in we had really bad signal issues, a lot of channels were barely watchable with the pixelating and breaking up completely.

Couple of Q's about Now TV
I'm thinking of ditching Sky and trying Now TV. Could I check a couple of things please: Would I be able to watch Discovery (not Discovery+)? With regard to the pricing, The £34.99 for the Sport package, is that just for Sport, or does that include the Entertainment package cost too? So, would I pay £9.99 for…

O2 have totally confused me with this SIM only deal.
So through sheer inertia I have been paying O2 more than £75 a month for a SIM only deal for 3 phones - myself and 2 teenagers. Embarassingly, I've been out of contract for almost a year. Finally, since this is really expensive, I check out what's around with a view to change and find Vodafone with a £8 deal for 20GB.…

Pause/fast forward programmes
I recently cancelled my Sky subscription due to cost, and now have the standard TV channels on my smart tv. However, my wife is fed up of having to sit through adverts whilst watching shows. She prefers to record them and be able to skip through them. Is there any way of doing this? I don't have an aerial by the way.

Thing is, after today I'm really losing the will to live and haven't got the energy to play the game to get the better deal. note I'm autistic so phone calls aren't my comfort zone and they're even harder as we transfer to…

Data sim recommendations
I've a friend using a 4g router, who doesn't want / need a broadband connection as future accommodation plans are uncertain. They are using more data than I expected however. Any recommendations for a data sim? I'd prefer open-ended usage rather than a 30 day limit. Argos do an EE one with 120Gb valid for 12 months for…

BT made a sensible change to logins but did it badly
BT, quite rightly, have separated the logins for your account or your email, which makes things more secure ( it is now bt.com/login or bt.com/email ).However, both invoke sign-in screens which look identical.Not only that, they have removed the ability to click to view the password and check you have entered it correctly…
