Replacing a Virgin TV remote
Hi all My elderly mum has broken her Virgin TV remote. Can a replacement one be bought in any shops such as Argos or Currys? I can see them available online or can order from Virgin but she needs a working TV today. Failing that, is it possible to control her Virgin box from her standard TV remote? She has a Bush TV. I…
Haven't got a clue but need to bundle
This crosses over a bit with internet too, but as the title suggests we have no idea what we re doing. Mainly from a tech point of view. At the moment we are not tied into any contracts with any of our internet, phones or tv. We let our internet contract run out and are now paying a ridiculously high monthly price of £36…
Apple Movie/TV purchases Quality Info Page - Clarity please?
I received some Apple Gift Cards and used some of it to purchase an Apple product (the new Apple TV 4K). Very happy with it and it's super super quick to watch TV channels via the Internet. Only a one off cost. There is a surplus of Gift cards which I am trying to use for purchasing Movies or TV shows to be able to watch.…
Managing your Sky Subscription

Cancel Sky Sports
In the last few days I was wanting to add Sky Sports to my current Sky package. But after sleeping on it I’ve decided that it’s not really worth the money (£18 p/m) on top of my regular subscription. So my question is, do I have a cooling off period to change my mind, and therefore cancel? Or am I stuck with this for 18…
Disney+ pricing and picture quality
With prices going up soon I’m trying to work out if it’s worth paying extra for the better picture and sound quality. The premium package has ‘up to’ 4K ultra HD and HDR along with Dolby Atmos sound. None of that means anything to me and I have no idea if my TV is even capable of it. It’s an LG but wasn’t expensive so…
tv License
Can anyone tell me if I turn 75 in March do i need to still pay for a license. I am receipt of Housing Benefit and Council Tax benefit. Thank you

Ditched Sky What Are My Options?
Ditched Sky due to price and not really watching it. I've not got a aerial but have sky cables into bedroom where I might get a Freesat 500gb box so we can record stuff still (still expensive at £200). What are my options for the 2 other rooms where we currently have multi room sky boxes. Have ethernet and Nvidia Shields…
TNT Sports offers ?
My contract with broadband and NT Sport has just expired with BT. Theyre offering £26 for Broadband and £18 for TNT Sports. Virgin are marketing TNT Sport for £10 if you take their £25 broadband as well, but Im a little hesitant about all the horror stories Ive read about Virgin and their customer support. Is the BT offer…

TV licence for Covid Inquiry livestream?
Does anyone know if I would need a TV licence to watch the livestream of the Covid Inquiry on either their website or on YouTube? Can’t find any info on this anywhere and don’t want to fall foul of the law by accident. They’re streaming every day of the inquiry live for a number of hours per day over a number of months.…
Beyond 23 years I believe there is better elsewhere maybe?
We are wanting to move away from Sky TV after 23 years of being loyal to them. The customer services are diabolical and the cost just keeps going up for those already subscribed, (despite attempting to haggle I get no good reduction deals), and hardly any useable offers available unless you're a new subscriber. So 23 years…
Virgin Media
I have been a Virgin Media customer for a while now, however I'm unable to get the same deals as new customers. Can I cancel my account and get my wife to open a new one as a new customer?
