Hello All, I have been with Virgin Media and its predecessors for more than 20 years now, for TV, landline telephone, broadband and more lately mobile telephone.

TV License Questions
Hi folks, Does anyone really know their way around the TV Licensing laws and regulations.

sky go extra discounts
I've had sky go extra as a free 2 month trial. Cancelled it today because you need to give 31 days notice During cancelling it on my sky service app they offered it to me discounted to £1 for 12 months instead of the £5 a month after the free trial period! £48 saving a year if you need it.
Sky TV 60% Off Con
I took a Sky offer in February that advertised '60% off Sky TV for 12 months' +£100 credit if you apply online. So I applied online for the deal which was going to cost £18.20 per month for basic TV package and sports. During the chat I explicitly asked that the price was fixed for 12 months and the advisor said 'yes', so…

Most suitable film subscription service without a TV?
I've not got a TV and normally watch everything on the iplayer/4OD/5-on-demand maybe once or twice a week.

BT TV Installation??
(Sorry can't find an existing thread!) I am considering dumping Sky and going over to BT TV (I already have BT Infinity broadband and phone). However the BT "router" is at the other end of the house - does the new BT TV box need a wired connection to the router, or is wifi good enough? Also how much signal is coming over…

Any good Freeview HD PVRs around?
I cancelled Sky a couple of weeks ago. I have a PS3 for catch up/on demand. Would like a straightforward Freeview HD PVR. I have been through the models on Humax Direct and read the reviews and most of the PVRs seem to have some kind of issue with them. Is there any PVR you guys could recommend?
Switching to BT / Freeview from Sky
I'm planning to leave Sky and switch to BT for broadband and TV. I did an online check and it says I can receive "over 30 channels" via freeview, which doesn't sound a lot. However, BT assure me that most of their premium and Sports channels are received via my broadband, so this is ok if true. Also my broadband speed is…
