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?

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…

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.

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…
