Sky plus is good, though the call out fee for Sky is now £85, so it's pretty pricey if something goes wrong and they can't sort it out over the phone.0

Have you got an arial hooked up to your tv? If so, you can record two programmes, and watch another on " Normal " tv through terrestrial. Thats what we do0 -
I have had sky for about 15 years now. Hit hard times in November and although I was only on the 20£ a month basic channel choice, I had the original big old Billy big box and it was frezzing and all over the place so called up to cancel. This is what I got :
New Sky Box Free install
Free Broadband for life including modem and anti virus
Sky talk with free connection and free evening and weekend calls
For £30 per month.
I was paying £69 per month with BT for my telephone !!!! No brainer really.
Obviously I know that the calls are taken out every month and they do kind of catch me out, but last months bill was only £51 all in. Calls , line rental sky tv. Still cheaper than paying B rip off merchants T.0 -
I've had nothing but trouble with Sky :mad: I only rang them to ask if they could reduce my viewing charges (as suggested on MSE!) They pressurised me into taking out Sky Talk and when I wrote immediately afterwards to cancel, and put it in writing, they still would not release my line. Hence since October I have been charged for calls by BT and Sky and have been ping-ponging between the two since then. Have complained to OFTEL & Sky's watchdog OTELO but still having problems. Have written several letters to Sky and not heard a peep back. Have now cancelled direct debit so they have cancelled my viewing channels :mad:
Thank you. Rant over :rolleyes:0 -
How can you be pressurised into taking a service you do not want? Just say no.0
