Ditching TV licence and the BBC weather site
After an abysmal couple of months of TV where I only watched 11 programs in total I'm considering ditching my TV licence when its up for renewal in June. My question relates to the BBC weather site. I look at the online weather reports by the BBC daily, including the video. Is this OK without a licence? I think it is but I…

Sky Q 2TB with box sets, sports, cinema, 1 mini box, £47/month
Just got this deal (just installed!) and thought I'd share. Sky Q 2TB with box sets, sports, cinema, 1 mini box for £47/month plus £15 installation. 1TB version is £35/month, but you also lose UHD, the mini box and can record less concurrent channels. This is new customers only, but we cancelled as we're out of contract…

I recently decided to move all my services to the one provider and rang Virgin for a quote as I wanted the free BT sports available with the larger packages ( the packages quoted on…

New Build House Aerial Advice Please

TV Licensing maths
A friend of mine showed me a letter that he had opened. It was from the TV Licensing people. The usual scaremongering tactics from them. What amused me was the maths they used. By any conceivable calculation, the claim of knocking on a door every 5 seconds doesn't stack up at all. They must be knocking on the same door…

BT vs SKY for Sports
I do online surveys to earn points which can be converted into Amazon vouchers. Recently I have completed two different surveys obviously set up on behalf of BT. Once I confirm that I am a customer of Sky Sports but not BT, I get asked a series of questions clearly aimed at searching for the combination of Sports/events…

Sky and BT face-off
Today I have had both sky and BT on the phone trying to give me their best prices and thought I would share my experience to my fellow MSE Forum members. After the recent notification that BT were increasing prices I called them to cancel my TV and Fibre Broadband (infinity 2). This time last year I cancelled with sky too…

Will Sky chase me for the owed cancellation period?
After weeks of issues with my sky plus box it finally broke completely after 2 yrs. I couldn't watch on catch up or sky go because my sky broadband speed is rubbish. I decided this time I would just cancel because frankly it's too expensive now for me and I can't afford a new box or engineer anyway. The box breaking was…

I am a previous Sky customer but left over 12 months ago as i don't watch too much TV and am happy with Freesat. My Gf has a Sky package, the TV part of which costs just under £50 a month -…

Sky TV - overcharging?...
Why do we consider that when we haggle and get our monthly subscriptions down that we are saving money. I rang Sky on Monday to complain that they were putting my package up from £90 to £92.50. I have no interest myself in SKY but my OH likes the football. I took a deep breath as they are notoriously difficult to speak to…

BT TV Extra Box
Spoke to BT CS this morning to ask whether the £99 up front fee for an extra BTTV box could be avoided if you already happen to have a second BTTV box - and the answer was "yes you can" - with the caveat that you can only have 2 live BT boxes at one time - you'll only pay the £5pm extra box fee. So - there are loads on…

Virgin media down grade to just broadband

Thinking due to catch up tv Netflix etc we could get rid of tv package and we have mobiles with unused minutes so phone can go to, but we do use a lot of internet with 2 teenage boys…

Sky vs Virgin Media
Personally have always been with Sky. Is the difference as big as you think? Sky says believe in better, but are they?

Sky charging to replace faulty viewing cards?
Called Sky, for the second time, about a viewing card error. They finally decided that sending signals, updates or whatever wasn't going to work as the card was obviously faulty so said that they'd arrange for a new viewing card to be sent out. At a cost of £10. I've looked online and can't see anything about there being a…
