Downgrading to zero TV
 
Is this possible? I'm currently on TV L I have two HD boxes (I'm paying £5/mth for the spare

I don't need TV when I can stream it via Kodi etc, how much can I expect to save/mth. I'm on 50 megs internet and Phone XL which I'm ok with.

Paying around £71/mth currently

I downgraded to M TV with one Tivo, 50 broadband and calls free at weekend only . I pay 34 pounds per month.

Look HERE for phone and broadband only prices.

Kodi is the way to go!

I have just got rid of all tv. Was on XLtv, 152mb BB, and evening and weekend calls. Only wanted 50Mb broadband but was cheaper to take 50 Mb BB and phone with free weekend calls.
Ended up paying just under £19-50 a month for this.
Bought 2 BT 500Gb Youview boxes on Gumtree for £20 each, and bought a Firestick and Fire tv box and installed Kodi.
Saving around £37 a month now.

I've just brought one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...ilpage_o00_s00
to go with my 5 Chromecasts, couple of 500GB USB Hard drives, and the streaming ability from the Big PC

My only worry now is if the Internet goes down, I'll lose TV as well as all that is online.

I did it! Now only freeview channels at 50p/month, made a £30/month saving. Sadly for some reason they inflicted a Tivo box on me, is there any way at all now I'm on the TV Guide that I can set it to only show the channels I have, it's showing everything (albeit greyed out) I'm having to go through page after page to find channels I can access. Ideally I'd like it to only display the channels I can actually use. Is this possible?

Think you should be able to add them as favourites and access them that way

Nope. Exactly the same if you take a Sky box with only the free channels. You still see all of them. Its the platform's "shop window" & they want you to see what you are missing by not subscribing.

The only way to get round it is to set up favourites
