I would consider a signal booster first IA. Our reception was c**p but once we had a signal booster it is perfect now, and we have freeview in 3 different rooms now which is great!!!!!!!!

Think back to how moneysaving you felt when you got rid of Sky? Should you reverse that decision?

Have it as your treat when you've paid off Barclaycard?

I agree I_A - get an ariel booster first!!

I know you work out your money to the last penny & often give yourself nothing at all - just think about it before you commit to an extra £19 p/m!! I know it sounds tempting with cashback & £19 doesn't sound like that much - but think about what your priority is at the moment - and how excited you were when you paid off Citi!!!! (well done by the way:T ) - the other debts will end that little bit earlier if you can just resist - perhaps use the snowball calculator to see what effect it has on your payments etc?

We inherited a dish from the previous occupants - you don't need to pay installation if there's a dish there, we had to buy a box of ebay - being really mean I went for the £39 one rather than the local £41 which means by default we get North East regional news with lots of mumbling-geordies and depressed shipyards/ flooding hull stories.... for £2 to have not had to use the remote to escape.... can't get E4 for a few months yet (sky-channel 4 contract issues that expire next year)

Why not get a free estimate from a tv ariel company to see what they say about the costs of improving your aeriel, and whether a signal booster would make a big difference?

You don't have to go with them, but you could get some free advice on what you need that way!

E4 is readily available on Sky
