Single justice procedure Notice tv licensing.
A few weeks ago whilst going to the gym met the chap from TV licensing at the door.

Around 18 months ago sky offered me sky entertainment, HD, kids and box sets for around £23 a month. I took this and then later added sky movies for an additional £10. My sky hasnt been working properly for some…
Samsung Qled Hub Bar Adverts
I m considering buying myself a 2019 Samsung QLED 55 inch TV, probably the Q80R .I have now found out that Samsung now use direct targeted adverts to the TV and every time I switch on I will be bombarded with someone trying to sell me something such as a funeral plan or a cruise ( I m knocking on in age ). This is awful…
Now TV Passes
Iv been using now TV for a while now, so far iv been cancelling just before my current deal ends and have always been offered a cheaper deal, normally between £3 and £5 rather than the £8 for the entertainment pass. I came to do the same today but got no offer just went through the cancellation. Does anyone know if they've…
Now TV
We have in recent weeks had FTTP installed. this has uplifted our broadband download speed from 1.8MB (yes really)to 76MB. This has opened up the world of TV Choices and we are exploring. Our first step was today and my husband has tried connecting to NOW TV. Our progress and problems so far: Our 18 month old Sony Bravia…
Netflix Consumer Rights Question
To cut a long story short, I accidentally signed up for a paid subscription with Netflix this morning. Cancelled it immediately but they’ve charged me anyway.

TV license needed for live TV, but why?
Hi All, So I know all the rules about having a TV license - you need one to watch or record any live TV - but my question is 'why'? I thought that other channels don't receive any money from the TV license (only BBC), and they all get funding from adverts. So to me it would make sense for them to be separate from the…
TV License Confused
Hi All, Can anyone guide me what should i do in the situation i am in. My TV license expired on 31/07/2019 and i am due for renewal but the catch is i am renting right now and in the process of buying my own home. The expected house purchase completion is by the end of this month. Will it be OK if i dont renew till i get…
Now TV Gift cards Question
I noticed that Now TV entertainment package can be bought as aa £25 gift card giving 5 months access. This looks to be considerably better value than the £7.99 per month subscription. Is there a catch?
We are paying far too much for our Sky package
We have been paying too much for Sky (which includes the F1 channel, Sports and SkyGo) for far too long. However, I keep putting it off, as I love having access to all the F1 coverage live, watching all the golf and the additional cycling coverage. We do also watch SkyGo when we are in Spain and for watching sports in the…
Topcashback question about VM
Can my wife sign up for a qualifying VM deal through my topcashback account and the cashback gets credited to my account? I don't see why not, but just wanted to make sure the cashback account holder and the services account holder doesn't need to be the same.

Firstly, I would like to apologise if this is in the wrong thread. I am looking for a new Broadband and TV package, Maybe phone as well but we do not want to change our landline number. I had a previous contract with TalkTalk and do not wish to continue with them any further. I have been looking online for contracts and…
Netflix on Sky
If I upgrade my sky subscription (currently Sky+ Ent) to Sky Q with Entertainment would that include Netflix? Been reading about it and getting rather confused whether I need 'ultmate on Demand' to get netflix. Their website says that this is an additional cost of £12 whereas NF sub is only £7.99.
