Sky TV Deal approx £18 for the year.
Just thought I'd post this here for info. I just subscribed to the basic Sky package at £20/month for a year. I used the "Top Cashback" site and got £122 cash back.

Cancelling Sky
Hi, I've been with sky for 15 years and am looking at SkyQ but really begrudge paying the £200 they want to charge me. Someone mentioned to me that it's possible to cancel the contract which is in my name and for my husband to join as a new customer.

Netflix - ombudsman? (and Now TV - subtitles?)
Are Netflix governed by any kind of ombudsman or regulator? I have a complaint about how they are dealing with a hearing-impaired member of the family and they are refusing to give a satisfactory response. Is there something like Trading Standards I can make a case to? We are paying full-price and receiving substandard…

First time poster, so hello to everyone! The reason for posting now is I've just had one of those "too good to be true" moments with Sky.

SKY TV charging me after I moved to Virgin
In August 2016 I bought a new TV from PC World. This is not something that happens often - I am a low-waged single parent of two young boys, relying on Working and Child Tax Credit - I don't have any spare money at the end of the month. However, I had inherited some money from my Granddad, and we needed a new TV. At PC…
