Hello, As per the title, I've spent some time looking to see if I could find out the actual channel differences between Variety and Entertainment packages. The headline seems to be kids channels, but there has to be more. I can't find listing of each of their full suite of channels in order to do a compare. Is this…

I didn't check…

BT contract ending
We accepted a good offer from BT last year - broadband, landline and mobile, BT Sport, etc - and have been satisfied with the service. However, having retired recently, we are trying to cut costs. As we already have Freeview along with Humax YouView recorders, we think that good broadband and mobile deals will be…

I wish to have a TV without a licence...
As title. I wish to purchase and use a TV in my property to watch things like Netflix and play DVDs from my PC. As I understand it I don't need a licence for this as I won't be watching live or time-shifted broadcast television. Given the poorly disguised propaganda that comes out of the BBC nowadays, I don't wish to…

I sent of the form, MY recent tv license and evidence and it was sent back - minus the tv license - saying the evidence wasn't the type needed. I then GOT two…

Watching f1
This isn't quite money saving, more can I actually get what I want ANYWHERE! I enjoy f1 but increasingly struggle to watch 'live'. Sometimes I am at friends, family, on business - be it UK, EU or sometimes elsewhere I pay for sky sports f1 and are generally happy with the coverage, but I cannot watch FULL programming…

Leasehold flat - problem with TV Aerial
Hi I've lived in my flat in a block for nearly 5 years.The other day I noticed a loop of cabling left outside the front door and attached in the ground to a TV line of some kind. A few days later it had been attached to the walls of the block and presumably round to someone's flat. Since yesterday I've had no TV signal at…

Sky on demand
I’m not sure I totally understand this. I have been on original bundle + sports for a while. I have been able to get sky living. Yesterday I tried to download an on demand programme from Living and it told me to upgrade my subscription. I had to ring sky today for something else so I queried this. The guy told me that I…

Last month I moved from Suffolk to Cornwall and after plugging it in here it is still showing BBC East/ ITV Anglia instead of South West. I live in the small percent of area that…

Weirdest TV signal problem!!!
Hi, On Tuesday the kitchen TV (plugged into aerial and receiving freeview. Other TVs in house connected to sky) suddenly displayed ‘no signal’. Tried retuning but it still picked up no channels. Tried 2 other TVs and same thing. Tried again with the aerial lead in the spare bedroom and same problem. Tried the tv in a…

TV Licence - will they get a warrant?
I don't have a TV licence - my partner and I only watch Netflix or DVDs. I have of course declared this to the licensing company. Today we made the mistake of answering our door (we live in a block of flats so assumed it was a neighbour) to a licensing inspector wanting to check out the property and asking whether we own a…

Alternatives to replacing TV aerial
Hello all I'm not at all savvy with other options for TV access. The recent strong winds have snapped our roof aerial. We don't have fibre - closest is the village about 1 mile away, the remaining 1 mile is copper. We are with Plusnet for landline and broadband. We don't have any desire for TV packages, Freeview is as…

TV licensing law (beyond the basics)
I know that you need a TV licence if you want to receive live TV programmes or use iPlayer. And that it is the premises which are licenced, rather than individuals. So... presumably it would be legal to go to a friends' house or a pub or your work (or any building with a TV licence) and download whatever you wanted from…
