Hi Phil
I didn't like them when they were Telewest, and found them more expensive than
Sky.
If you are moving, you will likely incur expenses for having someone come out
and install a new dish. They don't charge if you move without any equipment
installation. I think they want around £65 these days for that.

Hi Jackie,
A bit late in on tis I know but been reading the comments with interest.
We're actually due to move house soon and so will have to face Sky
re-installation etc. This is prompting e to check out other options e.g.
Virgin media.
I like very much the O2 broadband we've had for nearly 2 years now without any
hassle and a good service however I suspect we'll face same issues as you
trying to get Virgin to just let us have TV...
Anyway wondering what others experience are of using Virgin media for TV /
phone / broadband and any access issues with using their broadband service etc.
Cheers,
Phil

I've also kicked Sky into touch. I had been thinking about going elsewhere
for my broadband for a while, but couldn't face the hassle. I got a good
broadband service off them, I'd no complaint about that. But I objected to
having so-called entertainment packages I never used. I only wanted sports
channels, but they wouldn't let me go down that route. They also wouldn't let
me drop all the TV packages and just have broadband as they claimed it's
heavily subsidised. So I said thanks but no thanks, and have just moved over
to BT Internet for broadband only, saving myself £35 a month. Thing is that
the odd quid here and there was just creeping up, so now the dirty deed has
been done! (smile).

Yet another reason why I'm lucky enough to have a British owned Virgin system
where I can record two programs while watching a third.
AND I am paying less than my son for a better service here in Northampton.
AND they upgraded my neighbour's 2 year old set top box at no cost.
Sorry, but I'm not a Robert Maxwell fan!
George.

Hi Phil.
Sky themselves contacted me about this very thing a couple of weeks ago.
Here's a copy of their e-mail.
Sky Protect - Beware of imitations
It's come to our attention that a number of extended warranty providers are
contacting our customers claiming to be connected with Sky.
The only extended warranty plan officially approved and endorsed by Sky is Sky
Protect. It's provided and administered on our behalf by Domestic & General,
our chosen partner, one of the UK's leading appliance repair specialists.
Any other companies are not approved or endorsed by Sky and we cannot ensure
the validity of any extended warranty plan taken out with them. Of course
you're free to take out a warranty with anyone you choose, but we advise you
read their terms and conditions carefully before making payment.

using our online contact form :

What to look out for

cover for your Sky equipment -
* Ask for the name of their company

* Ask them to confirm your Sky account number, your box type and when you first
subscribed to Sky (only Sky Protect will have these details)
