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…

Can someone please advise, although it's clear we have come to a deadlock with BT and my next step is the Ombudsman, I am keen to know whether there might be a route where I might claim for the hours spent having to deal with this issue and whether the small claims court might be a viable option. I am sorry if it seems a…

Modern TV Build Quality
I have just had a 7 year-old Panasonic TV fail suddenly. After checking out the TV myself I took it to a repair shop who, like me, couldn't source the suspected parts that needed replacing. Conversations at John Lewis do not convince me that TV build quality is very good at present. TVs may come with great screens and…

Sign up for Netflix in another country and watch in the UK?
I saw Netflix has stopped the "basic" plan in the UK. But it's still available in Europe. Can I use a VPN + European credit card to sign up for that plan, and then just use it in the UK? Or will Netflix block my account or ask me to change to a UK payment method and standard plan?

Freesat from Sky BBC HD
Probably around 15 years ago we got Freest from Sky. With the BBC changes we now need to upgrade as box doesn't do HD but Sky don't recognise our account and won't link our viewing card to a sky+ box which we bought on eBay. What (if any) are our options for continuing to get free to view channels with no aerial. We have…

Leaving Virgin Media - any tips
My contract with Virgin Media is up early November. I've been with them for 20 years+, but have been meaning to move away for a while. Fed up with appalling customer service and with kids gone we don't need the tv channels over and above what we could get with Freeview etc. Anyhow, what I am wondering is if anyone has any…

Sky TV & Broadband Recontract Fee
So, the dreaded time comes when the Sky TV subscription is out of contract and goes up! So the usual phone call to sky 'I'll leave if you don't do me a decent renewal' conversation commences. Albeit this time not as good as usual, but better than the out of contract rise. Then at the end of the conversation they charged me…

Sky price increase letter avoiding giving me the actual new price
Today I received a letter from Sky regarding "another 12 months of savings." In the letter, they provide a breakdown of my annual savings and show how much I'm saving on each part of my package both monthly and annually. However, the letter doesn't actually mention the new price. It sort of suggests that nothing has…
