A question about : TV licensing threats

I just wondered how many who read this pay for their TV licence via payment card
The reason for asking is I have a licence that is valid until the end of July 2014 I've been getting threatening letters as I have not started paying for my new licence As this has been going on most of this year I asked my local MP to find out if they can do this as I don't know any supplier or company that can demand you start paying for you next years service half way through your existing year

A question about : Thoughts on BT tv

I'm currently a sky subscriber which I mainly use for the HD channels. I've recently signed up for bt infinity which makes the prospect of BT tv look a whole lot more attractive and it seems like I could save a bit of cash.

The problem is I don't know anyone with BT tv so I've no idea if it's any good. Does anyone here have any experience of this service and how good is it in reality?

A question about : Finlux tellies any good?

Hi all,

I'm in the market for a roughly 36-40 inch telly, has to be HD 1080 as I game, and I know from firsthand experience games like GTA V are just unplayable on anything but hd because you can't read things in the screen! Image quality doesn't have to be that would please a videophile as long as it's watchable I'm ok with it. I've seen some finlux tellies which are awfully good value and I'd rather pay Ј200 for one of those than double for another because it's a brand and is a teeny tiny bit better.

A question about : Sky Reward Free Soundbar

I signed up for Sky TV on the 18th of October, the family bundle online.

At the time one of the new customer rewards was a sound bar, something that sealed the deal for me.

My installation was completed a few weeks ago and ever since I have been trying to claim reward. I click on my rewards and it still says I have no rewards to claim. I contacted a Sky Advisor and they said I should be able to claim once the direct debit has gone out.

A question about : Freesat advice please

This is so I can help my parents. They've just cancelled their subscription to Virgin and are looking to move to subscription-free services. They have previously been with Sky and have the satellite dish Sky installed.

Their main TV is going to be using Freeview. I'm ok advising them about this because I have Freeview myself.

A question about : Compare Sky TV package channels?

Does anyone know of any links where I can compare the channels that you get with the various Sky TV packages? The Sky website is pretty useless at it.

A question about : BT Youview box for non-BT customer

I am going to cancel my Sky subscription and change to some form of freeview service.

I see that you can buy refurbished BT Youview boxes for Ј69, but I am not a BT customer.

Will the recording and catchup functions still work if I don't have BT for broadband and phone?
