Re: Help! Is cable free standard vbox

Only thing is, the VM phoneline is probably the worst bit of all their offers:

1. No ADSL, so you cannot use a cheap ADSL provider unless you double up and keep the BT line (so maybe look at the £25 - 14 + 11 bundle with 10Mb broadband, basic phone line and basic TV)
2. Non-geographic rates are a complete disgrace on VM
3. No escape, you cannot use carrier preselection or prefix discount call provider on a VM line, and the non-geo rates make the other form of cheap call provider not so cheap.

Remember, TV:M is essentially freeview, so the £11 offer is an expensive to use phone line, and bundled freeview.

Try the Wolfbane TV predictor, you may be able to locate a reachable transmitter from an adjacent area if your main is 100% blocked.

You need to select "distant" to extend results to those which are marginal.

Are you sure it would block Sky/freesat? There is an elevation angle of 20-30 degrees on them, highest in the south
