But you don't have to be an online pirate to see what you want.Broadcasters give away the most popular HD channels free over the air, and Internet video services…

Once we know and are all working toward an agreed…

Blocking iPlayer Live Streams
The BBC has recently started to add live iPlayer streams to some devices that previously only had Catch-up (and were therefore available to use without a TV Licence). My view is that this doesn't necessarily make the devices licenceable, but it creates more of a grey area than some people may be comfortable with. My…

Stop Sky for 2 months then re start ?
I pay about £67 a month for my Sky package and I have a 2 month holiday planned for later in the year. Is it a simple matter to cancel the complete package for 2 months and re start it when I get home? Or should I just downgrade the package to the cheapest possible and restart when I get home ? Thanks in advance.

So chatting to the virgin salesman, he thinks that Sky HD+ on demand multi room won't work with a virgin phone line plugged into it. Something about the ability to buy on demand can't be activated through a virgin phone line??? Anyone know what this means and if it is true?

Sky doesn't make sense
A bloke at the shopping centre stopped me to ask if I was interested in Sky TV. I watch a few shows they have, so I decided to hear what he had to say. This is where it gets weird. Apparently you pay them a subscription but the programmes still have adverts in them! I'd be livid if half way through DVD some adverts came…
