in TV MoneySaving
Recently moved into a 2nd floor flat, however my freeview TV will pick up very few channels (no itv or channel 4 programmes) so I'm looking into getting sky or virgin.

I have never had sky or virgin, or any other similar company before, so just looking for some recommendations and maybe a general price guide?

Thanks in advance.

    Does you lease allow you to fit a dish, are you in a Virgin cable area?
    You could always go for Freesat, or sort out your aerial to receive freeview

    Sky TV packages start at around £20/month. Check out the relavent websites for more info.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    The previous occupiers had virgin.

    I asume there would be no problems settting up a virgin package?

    The only people who can answer that are Virgin themselves.
