Virgin TV...stay or what alternatives?
I am currently a Virgin Media customer but my contract will be expiring next month. I am being quoted a £22 per month price increase to stay with VM on the same package (Player TV, 100mb Internet & Phone). Frankly the TV channels are pretty limited and I'm sure I would survive fine with Freeview/FreeSat, the internet is…

New TV recommendations please
Hi I'm in the market for a new TV. I think 55" would be about right. I don't want to spend more than around £700 and obviously I would be happy to spend less! What is the best I could get for this money, in your opinion? Thanks

Don't know where else to put this - the BBC owes me £1300 and I want it paying!!
I am in the odd position of being owed money by the BBC - just over £1300. I basically appeared on a quiz show last year which I won, and I was paid my travel expenses but never got paid the prize money. I could really do with the cash to clear some debts, and clearing out some paperwork last week I found the remittance…

Which budget TV for bedroom?
Hi, I'm just back from Tesco where I saw a Tecknika 24inch tv for £99. I've no experience with the brand but I assume it's the cheapest build/quality wise. I think it was only HD Ready which we're not that concerned about because it will only be used in the bedroom for freeview/youtube/usb stick. It has 2 HDMI ports and 1…

Live tv from internet to TV set?
Is there anyway to stream live TV to a TV set in the kitchen? There aren't any aerial points in there and I don't want to make any. I've got a NowTv box, but it takes ages to load, plus it only has the BBC channels (via the faff of iPlayer) and ITV, there's no channel 4. Changing channels is a joke as you have to open up…

Best price for Sky Sports... only want American Football
Sky Sports is getting ever more expensive, but we only want it for American Football. Can anyone tell me if there's a cheaper way to watch this, or whether there are any deals coming up? I'm not aware of any way you can buy a single sports channel or for that matter whether the NFL games are scheduled for the same side if…

US Open live streaming for Amazon Prime Members
I used to be an Amazon Prime member as I enjoyed all the extras such as free ebooks, music streaming and free movie/tv box set streaming, but after the first 15 months (I earned a couple of free months for not receiving Prime items on time) I allowed by membership to lapse as I found I didn't have enough free time to take…

Sneaky Sky
Just found out today that we have been paying for Sky Variety £32 since January when we were able to get the same package (Entertainment) for £20. Surely Sky should have notified us of the possible saving considering they scrapped the Variety package altogether?

Smart tv
Hi 1. With those SMART TV units in the market, when it says it comes with Freeview or Freesat does this mean i can expect to watch Freeview or Freesat as it is or do i connect to any thing? 2. So if i have to connect to the aerial, will this have to be wired or will there be a wireless option? Regards

Recording TV without Sky
After more years than I care to admit I have just cancelled my Sky TV contract. Costs have continued to creep up over the years and overall we don't watch much except sports on TV. So, we're having a pay TV detox - am looking at Now TV passes once Sky lapses to see what we really 'need' in terms of channels and what we…

Humax Refurbished Products
Freesat, Freeview, Recorders, Receivers, Camera. https://mailchi.mp/99d2c02f522d/as-good-as-new?e=147d20d372 I get their newsletter. I particularly recommend the Humax HDR-1100S 500GB We have the 1GB version and have been very happy with it, however 1GB is actually overkill. Loads of recordings on it, nowhere near full.

Netflix money-saver
If you go to cancel your subs on Netflix they will offer you a £2 (bribe) reduction to stay. They say it's because you'll only be signed up for 1 device - I never knew I was paying more for potentially using more than one. They never told me. So in response to their, let's call it 'lack of transparency', others may call it…

TV without Virgin, Sky, BT etc
Good Afternoon, Please forgive my naivety but we are thinking of abandoning the big TV providers & using the newer options. I am just a little unsure about what's out there. I'm told when I make enquiries after using uswitch etc that we dont have fibre (whatever that may be) so that limits packages available anyway; Also…

Sky have 'undercharged' me line rental charges... bill going up by £18.99+VAT
Hi All I've had an email saying that I've been undercharged and that the undercharge has been corrected on my next bill. Sure enough when I looked at the bill in detail, my line rental, which just said 'free', was actually discounted when you click the + sign. I will now be charged this from October. I'm very lucky to have…
