Sony TV/Now TV question.
I have a Sony Smart TV. Recently, I've noticed an app is available which allows access to the various NOW TV passes. I'm tempted to subscribe, because it would be good to be able to view Sky Atlantic programs, which I'm not currently able to do, without the need of an extra TV stick. The thing that's putting me off is the…

Sony 4K issues.
Big issue with my Sony 4K Smart TV today. Sound went off and screen is showing "safe mode" message, although picture is still viewable. Got through to Sony and they sent me a link to update software. I wasn't able to do this and they're now sending me a USB stick with the update. I have a function on the TV which is…

I wish to amplify the sound in a landline handset (ie the imcoming voice volume, not the ringer)
Hi,My landline phone works perfecrtly well when making phone calls to anyone except for my elderly aunt in Florida - when speaking to her I can barely hear her voice. She does not seem to understand that the problem is probably at her end - I think she is using a cordless phone. As I cannot get her to change to a corded…

NOW TV BORADBAND - free sky TV £22 per month (always) only 12 month commitment...
This is really just a bit of advice for anyone looking for a very reasonable deal. I signed up for unlimited broadband a couple of years ago, it was £25 per month and they gave me a free 3 months of Sky Sports. When it came time for renewal the standard price was a fair bit more so I phoned them up. They immediately beat…
Advice requested if possible please
Hi whilst I have followed MSE for years I am new here, basically joined to ask for help/advice - not for me, for my parents. Dad is 94, Mum 93 and they still live together in their own home. Dad is virtually blind with macular degeneration and deaf also. Long story short they have had a contract with Virgin media for TV…
Refund refused
I bought a refurbished mobile from Argos online recently but didn't like the camera so wanted to send it back. I was told that because I had used the phone to test the camera they couldn't accept it because they would be unable to sell it on. I don't understand this as it's already a refurbished phone so not brand new. The…

Hi all, First time posting so please excuse any "newbie-ness" or mistakes. I rent in a shared house of four, under a joint tenancy agreement. My housemates are refusing to pay the TV Licence now it is up for renewal, despite having paid it previously. They claim they don't watch any live TV or any programming that comes…

MusicMagpie smashed my phone?
Hi all, I’d like a little advice if I may. I sent my phone to musicMagpie recently. It was in very good condition and I packaged it carefully in its original box and then inside an outer box that Apple used to ship phones in. Today I got an email from them saying that the screen is entirely smashed or cracked and they are…
How to get best deal for combined phone/broadband/TV
Hi, I’ve been with Sky for TV, and with BT for phone/broadband for many years, and if I tot up the bills I am paying an absolute fortune. My kids also wanted BT sport and I’m being charged a fortune for that as well. Looking on the Sky website, it looks to me like I could get everything combined for quite a bit less than…
BT Black Friday (2020) 'Free Upgrade' Deal
As a BT customer we have been offered a 'FREE' upgrade to Halo2. It says "it takes reliability and service to the next level – with loads of extra benefits exclusive to BT Halo 2 customers. But don’t wait around, this offer ends 3 December. It asks "So why wouldn't you?" It seems too good to be true... and often these…
Sky broadband and tv haggling success
Wanted to share a result after haggling with Sky to reduce our £120 per mth bill. I used your site to compare deals and found BT were offering same package for £62. I rang Sky (with the comparison screen in view) & they offered a better package for £62 per mth including an upgrade to Sky Q and superfast broadband. When the…
BT Black Friday deal + gift card
Good evening, I am exchanging and completing next week (hopefully). I have already ordered the fibre broadband with BT, but in order to get a £100 gift card, I could only order a fibre broadband deal which comes with a landline. My question is, will the broadband work if I choose not to connect the landline? I won’t use it…
