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.
Paid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.

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:footie:
Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. 0 -
I know what they offer. My question related to what people's experience is of them.I would take a guess that Virgin will give you a lot more channels for a lot less.

Hi datlex, you may get a better feel and response to this on the TalkTalk TV forum, here

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.Member #14 of SKI-ers club
Words, words, they're all we have to go by!.

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).0 -

Does seem like a good deal, does this include line rental?0
