Sky Sports - when do they stop making offers?
Our Sky Sports package through Now TV is about to increase to £34.99. They are offering £30.99. How do I shake them lower? If I hit 'continue cancellation' is that final cancellation and, as the screen says, the £30.99 offer disappears... or does it take me to a new "one last discount offer before you go..." screen?
Advice on Freeview Box/ITV X please
I have a ten-year-old Samsung Smart TV and a five year-old Humax Freeview Recordable box. After a while, ITV Hub changed to ITV X and I got a message to say that it was no longer supported on my set-up. I believe that this is because the TV is too old and I also needed the latest box to support ITV X. Is there any way I…
Should I ignore or reply to a TV license letter?
I don't watch live TV, just Netflix and Youtube etc. Recently got a letter from the TV license addressed to "the occupier". Should I (a) ignore it, (b) fill in a 'don't need TV license' form, or (c) fill in the form but with a fake name and contact details? What is most likely resulting in me being left alone?
Cancelling tv licence
About to cancel my licence with the online form, do I have to fill in my name and email address on the form, or can I just fill in the licence number and leave the rest blank, as I’ve been told if tv inspectors turn up at your door they ask for your name, and you can refuse to give it

Uber eats Disney plus 12 months free
I signed up on Wednesday night to the yearly sub at £49:99 and claimed the Disney offer. It’s supposed to send you a code via email within 48 hours but so far no code. I’ve been on chat and they say something about the free trial. I’m sure Martin said you can claim straight away and then if you withdraw after the free…

End of Eurosport in the UK... Milking fans of minor sports?

GCN+ was then discontinued by Warner Brothers Discovery (WBD)and the only option was to subscribe to the Discovery+ Standard Package. Originally they offered an…

Sky Q too expensive - recommendations?
Hi, we are paying Sky £145 a month (after negotiation) for fibre broadband (which constantly drops and they can't find the issue), a free telephone package (we don't use the phoneline except for the broadband, no phone plugged in), a sky signature, multi room, sky Q, sky cinema (not fussed with this). We've decided the…

We currently have SkyQ with Signature, SkySports, Cinema, Netflix & Multiroom and are thinking of getting TNT Sports for the cycling season. I don't particularly want to move away from using SkyQ, so wanted to know if anyone has managed to get a deal or discount for the cost of adding TNT to their package, or do Sky just…
Sky TV - never negotiated and time to leave?
We’ve had Sky TV package for several years since moving house and as far as I can remember, never truly haggled. I think our contract went up £3 pcm last year and it’s due to go up another £4 pcm shortly. We are away for 6 weeks this week so was thinking (a YouTube video this morning has triggered this question) if Im out…
MSE News: Got Sky TV? Why you still can't cancel penalty-free if it hikes your price mid-contract
If you've got Sky TV, Sky can put your price up during your two-year contract without telling you what rises to expect before you sign up AND without letting you leave penalty-free. Thought this kind of thing was supposed to be banned? So did we. But our investigation can now reveal that Sky is exploiting a surprising gap…
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.

TV Licence costs
Do you have to pay for a full ears TV licence no matter when you get it? I got a TV licence in December after moving from a property that had a TV licence. The site says the TV licence lasts for the month you buy it in and the next 11 months but mine doesn't it only lasts till April. In April my license renews and I pay…

I have sky, with Netflix 'attached'. Two friends state that with Firestick they pick up "everything" without resorting to subscriptions or a dodgy mate to 'put things on it' This cannot be true anymore can it?
