What’s a 3D fan to do?
I’ve been with Sky for over 20 years. Ditched sport last year and haven’t regretted it. I sometimes watch Sky Atlantic but really it was the movies I was after. Over the past 6 months or so, the new Sky movies selections have been dire. A couple of examples are Paddington2 and The Post being on Prime and not on Sky. I have…

Hate Virgin - TiVo and broadband alternatives
I've been with virgin for ages and they are awful in terms of customer service. I want to change providers, and have removed my mobile phone, but I seem to be stuck with their Virgin recordable box and broadband and home phone.

Sit before reading this.
About 12 yrs ago, we bought a panasonic viera tv which was perfect for us, later we bought a freesat box and dish. Never had a moment problem.
