Re: Price change if I downgrade TV package?

Option 1 is reduce TV from XL to M.
Option 2 is cancel TV and go to Freeview.

Can anyone give me an indication as to what I might expect my bill to reduce to with either of the above options or else point me in the direction where I might find out?

Many thanks,
I have been been in this situation recently. Myself and my gf are going to be looking at buying a house next year, so trying to make cuts. We had an extra box in our room so we can have some space from her mother.

I decided to reduce our TV from XL to M+ as i mainly watch channels available on M+ and have recently discovered TV Torrents. But also cancel our additional Tivo box. The only bad thing is E4 HD isn't available.

So, i purchased a Freeview HD box on ebay £70, it also acts as a media server so i can watch anything i have stored on my Media PC and purchased a loft aerial. Freeview PQ is dreadful, especially on ITV2! HD channels are great, just like they are on Virgin.

Earlier today i cancelled the Tivo box cancellation as i do not enjoy watching channels on Freeview.

For:

30mb BB
M+ TV
Phone (evening and weekends) + caller ID

I pay £55 a month.
