I'm paying £46 for a bare minimum Sky HD+ box (Not Sky Q) package. No sports, no movies, just the standard Sky channels, which seems pretty steep when compared to what new customers get it for. It should be the other way around - someone who's been with Sky for 30 years should get a better deal than a new customer! But…

Am I going to be in trouble?
I've just discovered the TV licence is in my late husband's name. He died five years ago. I didn't think about checking it.

Will I be…
