Sky £35 deal nightmare!
Sorry if this is in the wrong place! I ordered Sky last week, the engr installed the TV part this morning. Unbeknown to me, he unplugged the ariel feed to the rest of the house. And broke the cable in the process. I have now been advised I can unplug the Sky cable and reattach the old (broken) cable, but won't be able to…

So in May I cancelled my SKY TV subscription (original package). Today i went back into my account and I had an offer of 60% of any bundle + £100 credit. So I have reactivated my account at £8.00 a month (£96 for 12 months) and need to decide how to spend the extra £4 that sky have given me to watch their channels for the…

So I currently subscribe to the sky sports boost and talktalk keep offering all boosts for half price for 3 months, how can I make the most of the offers for the sky sports?

Dumb Sky Question
Hi there, We have multiroom. In our living room we have a Sky+ box, and in the bedroom it's just normal Sky with no rewind or record or whatever. If I buy a Sky+ box (secondhand) to replace the one in the bedroom, will it then have all the functions of the one downstairs, including recording, pausing etc.? And, if so, will…

Probably a stupid YouView question.
I had sky for years and cancelled last year. I don't miss the channels but do miss the ability to record. I tried an enigma 2 box but couldn't get on with it. I found it overly complicated and the 'series' link just worked whenever it felt like so I missed a lot of shows. And with no catch up facilities either I found it…

Part payment returned by cheque (haven't cashed)....
Hello I've had a television licence for almost 3 years now. Year 1 - monthly payments cancelled after the sixth payment once 145.50 was reached. Same thing for year 2. Year 3 - quarterly plan was seemingly set up. Once properly realised or something, I didn't like the idea of paying an additional five pounds. 2 of the 4…

Targeted Advertising, How?
Last night I was watching Sky Living on channel 107 on my sat receiver, when an advert appeared for a local garage selling cars. How do they target adverts for specific postcodes, I assume that is how it is done, when there is only one channel broadcasting Sky Living? I can understand all the BBC and ITV channels but Sky…

Smart TV features without a smart TV?
We'd like to buy a TV for my daughter - however the smart TV we liked the look of has poor reviews due to it being the new Tizen OS and missing a lot of catch up TV. We'd like Netflix as a priority, I player and Amazon, but the other free catch ups such as itv and 4 would be a bonus. I've now been told you can get things…

How do you cancel SkyTV without speaking to a human being...
...I really can't be bothered to ring up and go through Sky's Cancellation process, is there a way I can do this without speaking to anyone. I've already cancelled my Direct Debit, but that doesn't constitute a cancellation. What would be a next step? I don't mind writing a letter to the correct place. Thanks,

What can I do with my Sky sub which I don't need?
Hi, I've subscribed to Sky Original bundle (£20), but I don't really need it as I don't watch Sky and have a Freeview PVR. Does anyone know where would be the best place to sell it, or what else to do with it? I have a full 12 months remaining. Thanks
