Hope you don't mind me jumping in?
I have had cable since the CW days (DERBY). I had originally started with Sky but every time it rained... say no more. Decided to go over to CW, they were taken over by NTL. I eventually had all the services, 2 phone lines,talk 24, all the video chans and 2mg broadband. Average bill per month £115.00 .
Had a good service, until upgrade to Samsung. Freeze frame all the time. Got it to a small ff but eventually returned to un-viewable. This has gone on for about 4 months. My last fault call responded with the rep advising me to replace the 'sacart lead' because this is a common problem with Samsung set tops?
Loss of picture prehaps, loss of sound perhaps, Freeze Frame?
I decided to swap back to Sky. I contacted cs and requested a downgrade from full biscuit tin to base pack TV. Here's the thing, they never even attempted to keep me. All that money, all that time and that's what I am to them. A prat.
Well I've now got Sky+ with multiroom installed for £99.
Next stop is to drop all tv and keep comms.
