TV licence for Covid Inquiry livestream?
Does anyone know if I would need a TV licence to watch the livestream of the Covid Inquiry on either their website or on YouTube? Can’t find any info on this anywhere and don’t want to fall foul of the law by accident. They’re streaming every day of the inquiry live for a number of hours per day over a number of months.…

Beyond 23 years I believe there is better elsewhere maybe?
We are wanting to move away from Sky TV after 23 years of being loyal to them. The customer services are diabolical and the cost just keeps going up for those already subscribed, (despite attempting to haggle I get no good reduction deals), and hardly any useable offers available unless you're a new subscriber. So 23 years…

Virgin Media
I have been a Virgin Media customer for a while now, however I'm unable to get the same deals as new customers. Can I cancel my account and get my wife to open a new one as a new customer?

Wanted: Alternative to Sky or Virgin Streaming TV
Virgin & Sky offer their own TV streaming option. I thought why not just use my Google Cast and stream from my iPhone? The only think I’d miss is that Virgin & Sky will collect all the programs based on my search, ready for me to watch. Is there an iPhone, iPad app or website that does this too? I can then add my favourite…

Modern TV Build Quality
I have just had a 7 year-old Panasonic TV fail suddenly. After checking out the TV myself I took it to a repair shop who, like me, couldn't source the suspected parts that needed replacing. Conversations at John Lewis do not convince me that TV build quality is very good at present. TVs may come with great screens and…

Sky subscription
Is it still possible to negotiate a reduced subscription with a real life person face to face or is it all done via the internet ? It’s been a while since we did this, but the cost of the full package is getting a bit silly nowadays. There is a Sky stand in our local shopping centre and Currys - but I am u sure if they…

BT (TNT) Sports refund
Can someone please advise, although it's clear we have come to a deadlock with BT and my next step is the Ombudsman, I am keen to know whether there might be a route where I might claim for the hours spent having to deal with this issue and whether the small claims court might be a viable option. I am sorry if it seems a…

My issue is with replacing the Virgin TV channels with Freeview. I have 2 TVs and an inherited Humax Freeview DVR. TV1 (Panasonic TX32CS510B) upstairs has been using Freeview from new and…

Sign up for Netflix in another country and watch in the UK?
I saw Netflix has stopped the "basic" plan in the UK. But it's still available in Europe. Can I use a VPN + European credit card to sign up for that plan, and then just use it in the UK? Or will Netflix block my account or ask me to change to a UK payment method and standard plan?

Leaving Virgin Media - any tips
My contract with Virgin Media is up early November. I've been with them for 20 years+, but have been meaning to move away for a while. Fed up with appalling customer service and with kids gone we don't need the tv channels over and above what we could get with Freeview etc. Anyhow, what I am wondering is if anyone has any…

Freesat from Sky BBC HD
Probably around 15 years ago we got Freest from Sky. With the BBC changes we now need to upgrade as box doesn't do HD but Sky don't recognise our account and won't link our viewing card to a sky+ box which we bought on eBay. What (if any) are our options for continuing to get free to view channels with no aerial. We have…

Sky TV & Broadband Recontract Fee
So, the dreaded time comes when the Sky TV subscription is out of contract and goes up! So the usual phone call to sky 'I'll leave if you don't do me a decent renewal' conversation commences. Albeit this time not as good as usual, but better than the out of contract rise. Then at the end of the conversation they charged me…

TV for university
Hi, I'm buying my niece a tv for her university room. I'm unsure if this will connect to WiFi or will I need a portable aerial. If I need an aerial are these any good these days? I seem to remember years ago they weren't. I'd appreciate any advice, thanks

The VIP "service/benefits" really offers nothing to us. A new customer will get a similar package (Sky essentials rather than Signature) for £33/mth for 18 months.We spent…
