I'm asking this on behalf of an elderly friend. She has an older TV (28") and hasn't got the space for a larger one - or the will really. Her TV has at least one HDMI port. She's interested in NOW TV.Is it correct that she would need the NOW TV stick as her TV doesn't have wifi capability? Thanks.

After enlarging my living quarters I’ll be buying a new television. The one I have at the moment would be to small I’m in my early 70’s so cost is important.

We have reached out to the council who have said pruning the trees or removing them is a big 'No, No'.

Over 75s
We are both over 75. Most TV is such rubbish that when we get the demand to start paying for a TV licence again it will go straight in the bin. If all over 75s do the same that will put an end to it.
