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…

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.
