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?

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

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

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.

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.

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…

Amazon Firestick 0r Roku
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?

Netflix with Ads experiences
I'm trying to reduce my monthly entertainment bill and can no longer justify paying £12.99 per month for the standard plan when the with Ads plan is £5.99. What are your experiences with this plan, are the adverts constant and as I suspect really annoying or are they just one or two at the beginning of a show?

Options to Stream Freeview without Aerial
Hi, My virgin media contract is up and the various price offers I've had from them for a new contract are still stupidly high so looking to leave them.

Sky HD
My sky hd pack has just increased to £9 a month - I know I had it on offer till now, but £9 just to watch HD doesn't seem VFM for me. I understand that if i cancel I can't then watch HD channels, but they also say i can't watch anything that i've recorded in HD - how can that be so when I was paying for the channel when I…

TV Licence repeats
I noted that in the last two weeks BBC 4 on Friday had a full complement of REPEATS... it appears this coming Friday is the same. I note also that BBC 2usual content currently is approx. 80-90% REPEATS all day. BBC1 is close behind and if you delete Soaps and News (which is repeated daily) there is so little left that you…
