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.

I'm currently undecided about whether to cancel Sky completely or try and get a better deal with them. Currently I have the Sky Variety bundle and HD paying £41.25 per month (due to increase to £44 soon) which seems a pretty high price considering I rarely watch tv (the missus watches it a lot more than me). I would watch…
