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…

Wanted: Alternative to Sky or Virgin Streaming TV
Virgin & Sky offer their own TV streaming option. I thought why not just use my Google Cast and stream from my iPhone? The only think I’d miss is that Virgin & Sky will collect all the programs based on my search, ready for me to watch. Is there an iPhone, iPad app or website that does this too? I can then add my favourite…

Sky subscription
Is it still possible to negotiate a reduced subscription with a real life person face to face or is it all done via the internet ? It’s been a while since we did this, but the cost of the full package is getting a bit silly nowadays. There is a Sky stand in our local shopping centre and Currys - but I am u sure if they…

I am sorry if it seems a…
