Moving home with Sky but can't get regional channels
Hi There, I hope that this is the right place to post. I cancelled my sky contract a few months ago and have been using my sky box as Freesat. 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…

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…

What happens when you cancel Sky TV?
We're giving serious thought to cancelling our Sky after goodness knows how many years with them and switching to a competitor. Haven't decided which one yet but obviously appreciate we need to decide this before we go ahead. The queries I've got are this - what happens to the dish? Do Sky come and get it or does it just…

Please help me identify this film!
I'm trying to identify a classic film that I half-watched several years ago. (Came in from the pub, saw a bit, fell asleep, don't remember much!) I've searched for everything I know about the film and come up with nothing. It's as if it doesn't exist! Some of these memories are probably wrong, but I'm hoping that someone…

Sky TV!
HI, Yesterday our Sky HD box went pear shaped. By pear shaped I mean BBC 1 & 2, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 all went OFF. All of the other Sky channels that we subscribe to worked fine. I put this anomaly down to the shoddy weather! Today when I got back from work, I tried the TV. The same issues occured so, as we have a…
