About 1995 in Liverpool area with analogue Cable Northwest (then part of Southern Bell I think), then switched Sky Digital in 1998 when that launched then back to cable (Telewest Digital by then) around 2004. Moved to new area with Sky Digital/Plus again in 2005 and then finally back to my local area with digital cable Virgin V6 since launch in 2016. Will never be going back to Sky, so will remain with Virgin at least until this contract runs out and re-negotiate for a good deal at that time. Failing that, I will switch to OTT streaming apps and Freeview play with Firestick and Roku.
