Satellite, cable, terrestrial or streaming? This is the place for questions about TV services.

Sky Black Friday
Obviously paying for Sky is not really money saving, but they have a Black Friday deal currently going on which equates to 50% off TV packages. I was already tied into a deal, and rung them up to see if I can just extend my contract with a new deal. Full Sky package for £57, UHD, multi room :) Let me know how you get on!
Existing Customers - Sky
Evening all, Thought I'd share with you all that Sky's offers for Black Friday are not just for new customers and can be applied for existing customers if you recontract. I couldn't find it in "my offers" though and had to call to get the offer. I applied the half price Sport, Ultimate On Demand and Multiroom which…

How to get freeview sorted?
I have recently moved into a property and the freeview signal is very poor. Both up and down stairs. There is no aerial on the house and I've checked in the loft space and cannot see one there. Will there definitely be an aerial in my home somewhere since I'm receiving freeview? Will the solution be to just get a new…
Freeview newbie - simple question?
For cost and TV usage reasons I've binned Virgin TV and returned the box (kept BB), moved to Freeview through existing aerial (never used it before). I also ave a Smart TV and Firestick. I won't miss most of the channels but think I would still like the ability to record. I basically wondered what the cheapest (non…

Early Sky Termination
Hi, Since taking out our Sky Q contract about 9 months ago our circumstances have changed and the TV watching at home is close to zero these days. As such it seems not worth it. Is there a cost-effective way to terminate early, or do I just grin and bare it, continue paying? Thanls.
Confused about virgin media in my area
So about 2 weeks ago I ordered a virgin media bundle off their website as we have just bought a house and want to get everything set up.
