Upfront payments for TV Licence?
I am struggling to get my head around paying monthly for my TV Licence. I think I'm missing something? I currently pay it by quarterly direct debit at £41.00 every three months, which includes an extra £1.25 charge. The total annual cost is £164.00. With the TV Licence increasing next year, I thought I would pay monthly…

Apple TV Three months free on BT
Not sure if this is the right place. Mpds, please move it inappropriate. I saw an offer for three months free Apple TV for both existing and new BT broadband and TV customers on BT website. Does anyone know if there's a time limit on taking this up? I'm already on a similar deal for Apple TV from Currys which runs until…
How many devices can use to watch Netflix?
I have Netflix through Sky as the Ultimate TV add on - this is HD and can watch Netflix on 2 devices. My question: is that 2 registered devices or 2 devices streaming at the same time? I wish to add a 3rd device (TV in bedroom).
Netflix on Sky - usage/downloads available?
Hi we’re looking to get a cheaper fibre/tv deal. Currently with virgin on their 130mb fibre service and basic tv package which they no longer offer. We also pay for Netflix - basic hd package (so just 1 screen at a time and we can download programmes to 1 device at a time too). Current £52 per month for virgin and £7 per…
No TV license but maybe can see TV from street?
I have just moved into a flat - and I do not watch BBC or live TV. I don’t need a TV license as a result and I have submitted the no license needed form. Regardless of whether I should have done that or not, I am on the second floor and I have big double balcony doors. My TV is in the corner of the room and I am sure that…
Warning - You may be paying an additional £6 for NOWTV "Boost" service without realising.
I signed up for NOWTV £4.99 six monthly subscription during Black Friday week and made a calendar note to cancel after six months. I noticed on my bank account that in December I was charged an additional £6 for BOOST. I had do idea what that was. It was in the small print of the advert and it was free for one month then…
Cancelled sky, best alternatives?
My sky package is increasing from £46.50 (sky Q - no movies, sports or kids channels, it also comes with phone and broadband) to £73.50 a month, called Sky and the best they could do was reduce to £63.50 a month - still too expensive so I went ahead with the cancellation. I dont want to go to Virgin media, had that before…

Replacing a Virgin TV remote
Hi all My elderly mum has broken her Virgin TV remote. Can a replacement one be bought in any shops such as Argos or Currys? I can see them available online or can order from Virgin but she needs a working TV today. Failing that, is it possible to control her Virgin box from her standard TV remote? She has a Bush TV. I…
Haven't got a clue but need to bundle
This crosses over a bit with internet too, but as the title suggests we have no idea what we re doing. Mainly from a tech point of view. At the moment we are not tied into any contracts with any of our internet, phones or tv. We let our internet contract run out and are now paying a ridiculously high monthly price of £36…
Apple Movie/TV purchases Quality Info Page - Clarity please?
I received some Apple Gift Cards and used some of it to purchase an Apple product (the new Apple TV 4K). Very happy with it and it's super super quick to watch TV channels via the Internet. Only a one off cost. There is a surplus of Gift cards which I am trying to use for purchasing Movies or TV shows to be able to watch.…
Managing your Sky Subscription
So, like many others we started a new contract with Sky after some years away. I think we have: 18 month contract with the first 12 months cheaper, price about to go up Sky Signature Ultimate TV add on Sky Cinema Sky Multiscreen (the above includes Paramount 'free' and Netflix standard - 1 screen) (Broadband separately…

I have a TV and the display has been fuzzy on all freeview channels except a channel called ThatsTV . I have ran the scan to try to retune it but ever single other freeview channel is fuzzy Does anyone know what is wrong ? I was thinking of buying a new TV but i am just suspicious that is not a problem with the TV if this…
Insurance for Freesat box
Just bought a Freesat 4 k box and would like to get some insurance for it. Can't find any brokers that offer this ?
Cancel Sky Sports
In the last few days I was wanting to add Sky Sports to my current Sky package. But after sleeping on it I’ve decided that it’s not really worth the money (£18 p/m) on top of my regular subscription. So my question is, do I have a cooling off period to change my mind, and therefore cancel? Or am I stuck with this for 18…
Disney+ pricing and picture quality
With prices going up soon I’m trying to work out if it’s worth paying extra for the better picture and sound quality. The premium package has ‘up to’ 4K ultra HD and HDR along with Dolby Atmos sound. None of that means anything to me and I have no idea if my TV is even capable of it. It’s an LG but wasn’t expensive so…
tv License
Can anyone tell me if I turn 75 in March do i need to still pay for a license. I am receipt of Housing Benefit and Council Tax benefit. Thank you
