Has any one on here used Talk Talk TV service? I currently have freeview and Now but would be interested in getting more channels. My realistic options are Virgin or Talk talk as I do not want a sky dish. Virgin seems expensive to get popular channels such as sky 1 or fox. I can't get fibre here so BT TV is not available.

I would take a guess that Virgin will give you a lot more channels for a lot less.

TalkTalk TV essentials is £5 plus £5 for TV Starter Boost which gives you Sky 1...check out what you get here http://help2.talktalk.co.uk/tv-boosts#starter

I know what they offer. My question related to what people's experience is of them.

We have it. It took a bit of getting used to and we have had to reset the box twice.

I negotiated a new package when my last contract ran out, so we are very happy. £26.50 for Anytime calls, including international, broadband and TV.

We also have it. The box is a little sluggish but not too bad and I would say it has become more stable over the last 6 months - in fact I can't remember when I last reset it! One thing I do like is that you can record the free Sky channels - which is quite clever (as they are delivered over the internet).

Broadband will depend on the line to your house and any internal wiring. We are in a relatively new house not far from the exchange and get 16Mb ... so I don't feel the need to pay for fibre.

I've also recently renewed and pay about £26.50/mth for PlusTV, line rental, free calls, broadband (will go up £10 in 12months).

Does seem like a good deal, does this include line rental?
