No problem now. It was the TV package going up £7/month.
Sounds like you need to look for a new job then

I'm tired of working at the moment
enjoying my time off tax free paid by the working. 25 years I paid in. Needed a rest. It's why I'm on the forums constantly. lol I been looking every month though and there's some absolute poop jobs turn up online and job adverts that don't even tell you what your duties will be. Fun and games.I will never go with a company that rise prices. Any company that does this I avoid. They are out there.

I thought the quality of Now TV was shocking, even after adding on the £3 a month boost add-on for HD
We now have SkyQ, and whilst the quality is really good, I don't like the overall system. It's very hit and miss. The SkyQ mini box doesn't always work, and then it magically does....same with the ios app. You launch it and it says "something went wrong".....then you try again and it works.

Have you got a USB socket, they do a stick or hub that can be plugged in.
the thread that was exactly one post at the time, and was you just whining about the price saying you were tempted to cancel?Did you read the thread? ...because then we wont have channels like Comedy central and Virgin media is not available in ourr area
This, more than anything makes me laugh. Surely this should be standard. How much extra is sound? Or perhaps, the picture in colour?

I got rid of Sky a couple of months ago. We only watched the main channels so Now TV has been fine as a replacement.
I’m paying with Tesco vouchers so you get £3 of Now TV subscription for £1 of voucher.
For the next 4 months I’ve got Entertainment, Movies and the HD option for £9.99/month or £3.33/month with the Tesco vouchers.

It a joke they still charge extra for HD and there HD not even 1080p
..Can you even still buy an SD TV these daysDo they charge even more for 4K ?
NowTV has had full 1080p HD for six months now (for a small fee
). Newest box is 4k capable but only on Youtube.You don’t have to pay for it, it can be removed at any time.It a joke they still charge extra for HD and there HD not even 1080p

As to why it’s paid i’m not sure. Ny guess would be to pay for High def cameras used to film
I use NowTV, the entertainment with HD is 11.99. I took out the cinema option for a tenner for 3 months, they emailed me to tell me they'll extend it for £1 a month for 6 months, the sport I bought a "season deal" which was the full ten months of the premiership campaign for £200 up front. This has continued to roll on for free until the season ends. I don't like the inconvenience of not being able to record or start a show from the beginning once it's started but for the money it's very good.
I also have BT TV, just because I already have their broadband, for an extra £15 I get the TV and sports package. I could get NowTV (with recording options etc) through BT now but don't want to be stuck with a two year contract. I only ever really watch UFC and the champions league, the rest you can get through NowTV or Freeview.
If the recording thing isn't an issue for you then go NowTV, it'll be less than half price with no contract, just be aware it's a bit "market jeans" compared to full fat Sky.

I really don't agree why people should have to pay extra for quality, even if it's HD or UHD. It's like laptops or games console. They get better and more powerful, but usually priced the same as last years model.
It just feels wrong to me. Like recording, you shouldn't have to pay (even by stealth) to use it. Yes, pay for the right equipment but not to be charged a subscription for its use. Multiroom is another one.

I dumped SLY altogether in Feb, best move I've made in a long time. Don't miss it 1 iota.
