TV Licensing withholding refund until set date
I have already paid up a year of my TV license within six months (as is standard), but have only had the licence since October.

Free view through Sky box
My daughter has been asking for Disney life and because I’m mean, I said, “Yeah sure, if we can cancel Sky.” Generally, the only reason I have Sky is for Disney and nickelodeon channels, but recently they haven’t been watching them as much as watch a lot of Netflix and YouTube. If I cancel Sky, can I still watch freeview…

I left a year ago and in the next week or so it'll be the full 12 months, so I'm wondering if I'd be offered better deals as a customer who left within the last 12 months, or a new one if I leave it a couple of weeks - what do you think?

What's the cheapest deal you can get with Sky?
I've had Sky for a few years and am down to the entertainment package at around £30 per month, which is too much for how little I use it. I have some stuff recorded which I'd like to keep and/or watch. I'd like to keep the Sky Plus recording facility to be able to use across whatever channels I have, but maybe just go on…

Do I need a SkyQ box/subscription?
My apologies, but I'm losing the will to live trying to find an intelligible answer from someone who isn't trying to sell me something. 1. I have a 4K/UHD TV. 2.
