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.

Sky charging to replace faulty viewing cards?

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…

BT price increase
We took advantage of one of the BT TV and broadband deals in January, just before the announcement of the price increases. The deal we signed up to was for £41 a month for 12 months, including BT sport and infinity fibre broadband. Does this mean we would be hit by the increases, even though the contract we have signed up…
