UHD - lots of hype but missing some truths?
I have just purchased a new LG OLED 4k TV to add to my BOSE sound system and my EE TV package. Being keen to see some programmes in UHD, I checked out the listings on iPlayer and Amazon Prime and expected to find ‘UHD’ in the corner of the programme information.

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…

Monthly TV licence
I’d like to flag what looks like a regressive and misleading structure in the TV Licence payment options, especially for people who pay monthly because they can’t afford the upfront cost. Key points: The annual licence is £174.50 if paid in full.The monthly direct debit plan is heavily front-loaded. In the first 12 months,…

Sky Package Deal - Great saving but still not excited...
I'm going to get berated for this (and rightly so) but I was recently going through my monthly bills and shockingly realised I'd let my Sky Package contract slip (life got insanely busy) and I had been paying an eye watering £167per month for my TV, Broadband and landline. After getting straight on the phone with them and…

I have a BT branded Humax dtr-t2100 recording box but I no longer want to pay £20/month for channels I don't want.

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.

I’m now finding that it won’t record anything but BBC on SD channels - though that doesn’t seem to be the case with HD. Anyone else noticed this? Started a few days ago.
