ditching sky all together, what would be best?
I have had sky tv for years now, but these days I rarely watch TV I mostly watch catch up or netflix. I do record stuff but its shows on channels with catch up facility. I haggled down the cost last year and signed into a 12 month contract which is about to end. I do not have a TV aerial as it fell off the roof in a storm…

Sky not honouring an offer accepted on chat
I have been sky for a long time and for the first time i need to complain about their customer service. Yesterday I was offered a 75% off deal by their upgrade department on chat . I accepted immediately but today I just checked my sky account and found the next bill to be very high. Called sky immediately and after a lot…

Good afternoon I'm looking to get my dad (existing customer) onto this deal and just wanted to know if there are any hidden costs for existing customers and if it would be possible to do it on chat (dad suffers with deafness). Many thanks.

Rumours about Sky
I hear rumours that Sky's contract with its satellite provider will shortly expire and Sky are not renewing Instead - they are only planning on allowing internet connections - which will require a Q box at an increased price compared to "normal" HD.. Don't know how true this is - but if it is true - I can see many…

Sky owe me £740!
Hi all, this is my first post so be gentle! My Sky bill has been getting higher recently (as has everyones) so I decided to investigate a bit. I just have one SkY+ HD box, used to have Multiroom but cancelled it in July 2012. I have been a Sky customer since 2003. I noticed on the Bill it had an additional charge of £10.00…

Help! Paid £99 last month for Virgin?!
Hello, last month our virgin TV, broadband and phone cost just shy of £100. So I am looking to swap, but have no clue about it..we barely use our house phone, or watch the TV but do rely on a quick internet speed. We have been with virgin for years, have no TV aerial so am confused about what we can apply for as well that…

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?

Can I use my Virgin Box without a Subscription for pre-recorded programmes?

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

As well as this i have another sky plus box fully connected in a second bedroom which has only ever been used to receive freeview channels. I would now like to have my subscription in both bedrooms.
