Many thanks.

Will I be able to use the November price rise to cancel just TiVo or all three?

I'm happy to keep BB & phone with VM, but am looking to get a Freesat PVR or a Freeview PVR for TV.

The problem is that it appears to be cheaper to have a landline, even if you don't use it, than have BB only.

If I can cancel all three, I guess I could go to another provider like Plusnet for BB, get a £5 a month rolling contract SIM for my Virgin mobile phone and use Freesat, Freeview and streaming services for Pay TV.

The problem with this is that I will probably have to take two or three services to get the best deal.

Alternatively, my satellite wiring needs to be replaced, so as much as I dislike Sky, I may take a good deal from them for a year as it will work out cheaper to get them to pay for the installation, keep a minimum sub for a year and flog the box afterwards!
