Best option for watching and recording TV?
We're currently with PlusNet and have a YouView TV box through then which we can record on. We're going to change to a new broadband provider and I'm guessing we will no longer be able to use this box. If that is the case, what are the best options for watching and recording TV please? I don't want to buy into a TV package…

Switching to a IPTV Box - recommendations?

Virgin can’t provide a bill that I can submit to my job expenses…

Do I Need a TV license?
Hi all, I’m new to this forum and whilst I’m sure this question gets asked a lot, I have quite specific circumstances so I am unsure if I need a TV license.

I'm only watch F1, so I don't like the idea of paying for 4-5 months when it's not being used. I know you can upgrade your package during your subscription, but if I…
