    Where do you live? Is Virgin Media available, is TalkTalk TV available?

    If it says Tiscali TV is active then the service is available to you.

    Unfortunately as Tiscali is now part of talktalk and they do not offer in my area I cannot use this.

    The good thing about bt vision is the replay/iplayer facility, do sky offer this?

    Although part of Tiscali if it says Tiscali TV you can have it. They are still separate networks at the moment.

    I have ordered BT vision today to replace Sky. Is it any good? Seems a good deal at 12.50 p/m for first 3 months and then 19.99 p/m thereafter for full package (sports, music, kids, movies)

    Havent cancelled Sky yet so would be interested in what any has to say about BT vision.

    BT Vision is mostly Video on demand old programs, if you like watching TV that way then it will suit you. There is some newer stuff, but it is never live.

    My mum loves it but then she took my advice and did not subscribe to any package and just pays for the odd thing she watches. The box is excellent for what it cost her.
