Existing Sky Movies customers - get Sports for £5pm for 6 months
I got an email the other day saying that as an existing movies customer, I could get sports package for £5 per month for 6 months. However, in the small print, it says offer not available with other offers. As I'm currently getting 40% off, I knew the chances of me getting this were slim to none. Rang them up and sure…

Sky - Repayment of a credit balance
I received a letter on the 5th anniversary of my fathers death. Apparently Sky have "checked their records" and there is £20.67 credit on his account. They want to give this money back as soon as possible and ask to call a free phone number, which I have done, but it is totally automated and cant speak to an actual person.…

Is this relic a valid cable TV box?
I've moved into a 1960s house with a lot of original features. Avocado bathroom, original kitchen with only 2 mains plug sockets, in need of a complete rewire and refurb, you get the idea. One of the many relics I've found is this beauty (Please excuse manky walls, this house needs so much work) Having had Virgin Media…

Any cheap way of getting BT Sports for 6 months
Hi, I want to add BT Sports to what I watch on Sky, but only for 6 months (to watch Indycar and DTM).

Sky Multi Room
Hi, Just been on Sky chat for Family bundle, Sky Sports, Sky Movies, HD and Multi Room. Came up with monthly figure of £60.75, then a credit of £75. Still to much for my budget, the person then said add Multi Room (£11.25) later, which could be half price or less. Is this a genuine. Any advice please.

Forget Sky, try this
If you have clear(ish) line of sight to the south and a space to site it, consider a 90cm or above motorised satellite dish. Note, the dishes don't swing around, they swivel through a small arc. No need for your garden to look like Goonhilly Down. For footy fans tune to Hotbird and search out Germany's WDR. Has a lot of…
