What TV package?

I currently have Virgin Media for TV, Broadband, and landline phone.

Does anyone have any thoughts on which might be cheaper and/or better to use?

1. Sky
2. Post Office Broadband, BT phone, Freeview TV
3. Freeview TV, Amazon Fire, BT phone - any broadband?

The list is endless in terms of combinations......

Thanks

    To state the obvious, if you don't require any subscription channels, then Freeview is, er..., free.

    It depends what you have, and what you're will to buy. You've got cable. Do you have an aerial? Do you have a satellite dish? Are you willing to buy either of these? What speed is your broadband? I'd want 8mb (4 at a push) if I was planning to watch TV over the net.
    If you want Freeview, you'll need an aerial. For your broadband, you'll either get ADSL, or Fibre, but the cables will be Openreach's no matter who you go with, so the provider might not have much bearing on speed.
