Sky TV without a dish
Hi, Sky were advertising over a year ago that they were planning on making it possible for customers to have Sky TV via their broadband, and there would be no need for a dish, but development for this seems to have gone quiet. Does anyone know is this still happening or has Sky abandoned this idea?

TV Licencing Bullies
I have no legal obligation to tell these bullies that I don't need a TV licence, do I? To do this, I have to provide my name. They have no legal right to this information do they? I don't get why they do this. Other companies don't threaten to sue you when you don't buy their service.

Cancelled Sky Q - Do they have to have the box back?
I have decided to cancel Sky Q and use Freesat instead as couldn't justify spending £76 a month for TV, but they have asked for the box back. Is this correct? I thought that when you take out Sky Q you pay a fee for the box at the start? They have sent me packaging to send it back, but just wondering if anyone ever does…

Freeview issues
Hi all, I wonder if someone could offer me an answer on this before I commit to sourcing one. I moved into a flat and it has a twin cable serving a satellite dish so I bought a Freesat box, but although it finds 184 channels, no signal as there is a transponder problem. I then looked at the dish and it appears to be a Sky…

Mis-Sold Sky Protect - can I get a refund
I took out Sky TV with Sky Q boxes back in April 2018 and soon after was approached by Sky Protect giving me the hard sell on their policy which I took out in May 2018. As part of the original Protect policy I could add 2 additional pieces of equipment which were a TV and an iPad (which incidentally were already covered…

Sky Q
If you have an eighteen month contract with Sky and after 12months they hike up the price, can you cancel the contract. I ask as in their T&Cs they state that they can increase the fee by up to 10% while you are in contract and it seems you cannot cancel. Surely this is an Unfair Term and also contrary to current…

How long are virgin media originated phone numbers in quarantine?
Hi all. My phone and broadband switched from NowTV to Post Office on 7 August. Despite being issued with a temporary phone number when placing the order with Post Office they assured me my phone number would transfer over on the switching date.

Broadband provider blackmail
A few times a year our WiFi grinds to a halt. We think it’s caused by the wet/windy weather getting into a comms box on a telegraph pole on our property. In the past a previous broadband provider sent an engineer out who said it was our fault because the lower branches of a tree on our property could have reached this…
