New TV - Suggestions please.
Hi folks, We are looking to get a new TV to replace our 32" model that we've had for about 10 years. We'd like the new one to be at least 32", HD, Smart and under £300.

Want to cancel Sky but have free channels available.
I want to cancel my £21 per month Sky package. I was looking at Freeview etc but a friend said as I already have a Sky box and satellite dish I'd still be able to get quite a few channels on that after cancelling. Would I simply leave the Sky card in the box after cancellation? Someone else said I'd have to pay £25 for a…

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.

sky multi room with virgin phone line?
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?
