Sky
I am confused. Email says Save £17 every month from the out-of-contract price of £76.50. With a new 24-month contract. Prices may change. So I would pay £76.50 - £17 = £59.50. Would I not? And there’s more. Your discount is available for you online right now. So forget the phone, forget the haggling. Save time and money by…

Changing broadband/TV supplier
My broadband / TV contract is coming to its end. I've been with Virgin Media since before it was Virgin (that is, Redeffusion, CableTel, NTL and now Virgin), but as usual I'm looking to see if a better deal is available. Sky looks interesting for £48/m; as a new Virgin customer I can beat that slightly, but getting that…

Is the Disney+ Premium plan tier rising in price in the UK next month?
Does "Disney+" e-mail you if and when they are increasing their annual price plan? I noticed on the headlines mention that the price for a Standard Disney+ subscription is going to increase (whether you pay monthly or annually) at the end of September 2025. This appears to be mentioned on the Disney+ website as well.…

Warning: DAZN PPV “one-off” fight tricked me into a subscription (£74.97 lost before refund)
Hi all, I wanted to share my experience with DAZN because I know a lot of boxing fans use it for the big fights, and I don’t want anyone else to get caught like I did. On 21 July 2025, I paid £24.99 to watch the Usyk vs Dubois fight. The checkout page made it look like there were two options: * Annual subscription (fight…

Sky now too expensive? Best options from experience?
Hi, We are paying £88 per month for Sky TV and have been with them for over 20 years. My broadband and landlines are with EE. I'm now looking to cancel Sky as we are not watching any of the less conventional channels and in Sky Sports I watch the Sunday football matches only when there is a 'big' game. I have a freeview TV…

TNT Sports...
A big cricket fan - unfortunately for the last few years Sky has let us down with coverage of England's overseas tours and I've muddled through with radio commentary. As a canny shopper I don't have a Sky subscription. I access their cricket coverage in the summer via Now TV, which is around £20 per month if you sign up…

Freesat App (No longer works)
Hi All. I wonder if anyone has any advice they can offer me. I swapped from Sky to Freesat a few years ago and have been very happy especially since the brilliant Freesat App gave me the option of setting recordings remotely. So anytime, anywhere, I could browse the listings and set series records etc so when at home we…

Now TV offers
My Now TV entertainment pass went up to £9.99, so I did the usual and tried cancelling expect them to give me an offer, but nope they just cancelled. Is there anyway to get a new Now TV entertainment pass at a good price now, as it seems like the old ways to get it cheap have all gone.

Backdated TV licence refunds for over 75's
I was unaware of the free TV linces for over 75's and am now 78. They are refusing to backdate 3 years worth of overpayment. Only the few months worth of this year when I applied.. When I suggested going to small claims, the answer was we will fully defend it and you will be liable for full costs. I was also informed that…

Sky increase in September
Ive just noted that the TV package part of my Sky bill has risen by £5. I know they put the prices up yearly but I thought this was only in March of every year with it taking effect from April. Anyone else got hit with this unexpected rise in costs?

Sky Q Price Increase is 17% - breaches contract
I've had the inevitable price increase from sky: Sky Signature - £6.50 increase. So from £31.70 to £38.20. A 17% price increase. It's mentioned on the MSE sky section about a maximum percentage price increase (or inflation) whichever is higher. So I had a look in my contract. It states: * During the minimum term, unless it…

TV licencing letter with my name!
Just had one of their letters this morning, which is nothing new in itself, but this time they have included my name and not just to the "Legal Occupier". Now I've never owned (possessed etc...) a colour TV as money was tight when I bought the house in the 1980s with wonderfully high mortgage rates, and never got round to…

So, Sky has a 31 day cancellation period. That's important to know for this next bit... We cancelled Sky 32 days ago. We had the full package, TNT, UHD, Sports, Signature etc etc etc.....£170+ without offers. The reason we cancelled was simply that, cost. The offers that were making everything around £110 all ended. During…

Another TV Licence Visit.
Do they have nothing better to do? A few months ago I got a visit from a TV licence enforcer and after answering all his questions he said I wouldn't be bothered again. LIES He just returned today (it was the same person I compared door cam footage) and he asked all the same questions. I told him what I told him the last…

Bluetooth TV
Moneysaving in as much as I don't want to buy a new TV but no idea where else to ask this question. Our current TV has Bluetooth in as much as I can play music from my phone through it, but my husband wants to buy some bone conducting headphones to help him listen to the TV without headphones does anyone know if this would…

Now they are going after my wife.
After 2 visits from TV licence enforcers and numerous letters either addressed to the occupier or in my name they are now sending letters addressed to my wife. This is after being informed that both occupants are over 75 and don't watch live TV. How much more of TV licence holders money will they waste?
