About to sign up as a new VM user in my new flat (partner had VM contract in old house.) I particularly want ESPN and Eurosport. Been offered a deal by VM which includes VM Mixit TV and BT Sports Collection. I am told by VM that BT Sports Collection includes both ESPN and the two Eurosport tv Channels. ESPN does seem to be…
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. Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations I believe I have the right to a refund as I’ve cancelled within 14 days and not used the service. However I can’t get hold…
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…
Sky Q selling tactics
Hi there guys, I could really do with some advice please. I am a sky customer snd have been for around 10 years. 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…
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?
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.
19" DVD combi with 2 or more HDMI sockets?
There are lots of cheap DVD combi sets out there, but they all seem to have only one HDMI port. Does anyone sell a model with 2 or more ports?

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.
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…

Now TV on 3x value for Clubcard vouchers
My latest Tesco Clubcard statement says that from mid-August Now TV will be a new Reward Partner, meaning that £2.50 of vouchers will get you £7.50 of Now TV. That should be a very cheap way to buy Now TV access, as it is effectively a 67% discount.

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…

My grand-daughter has a Netflix account {the one where you can sign in on 2 tvs and 2 phones] She signed in on a second tv in March and since then Netflix has been charging her twice every month. She has only just realised this as like a lot of youngsters she hardly ever checks her account except to see how much she has…
