    Sounds a great deal, but i've heard so many bad things about them that I am avoiding them.
  • DH really wants to have this would it be a lot of hassle when it comes to canceling? I dont understand this bit,

    To cancel prior to the end of the first 2 months, write or email between the 10th and 30th days of your subscription (full details of how to cancel will be sent to you when you sign up). 30 day cancellation notice required thereafter.

    if only it was that easy
  • It means that if you email them after the 30th day of your subscription, they expect 30 days notice to be given. So if you email them - for example - on the fifth day of the second month of your subscription, you will be expected to pay not just for the two months (which cost you £1), but also for the next five days. That would presumably cost you £10.99 or £12.99, depending on whether you were a satellite or freeview customer.

    So make sure you cancel on day 10, ideally!
    Or, better still, don't bother signing up in the first place...
    Thanks to all who post constructively.

    ave an A1 day!
  • Ok thanks think we will leave this, cant be doing with hassle!!!! it is a shame though.
  • Would like to watch a couple of games but am not going to risk it given the problems people have had. companies like this shouldn't be allowed to get away with such behaviour. Thanks for the warnings.
    :D
