Need Help

Hi all, just joined forum!! I'm moving house and the area I'm moving to doesn't have cable. At the moment I have Virgin's service which I'm (generally) happy with - I don't have all the channels, just one size up from basic. The thing is I need a new provider for TV, phone and Internet and don't want to have a dish on the side of the property (in fact it isn't even an option for various reasons).

I love the fact that you can get catch up TV on Virgin through the TV - I use it all the time and would love a provider who can offer something similar

Any recommendations?

Cheers all!!!

If you don't want a dish you have really cut your options down considerably.

Cheers Paul, so are we basically talking something like BT Vision? It's such a while since I've had to look into all this and don't have much of a clue as to what is put there

Re: Need Help

you can get freeview+ boxes where you can record telly, and do other stuff (not sure how much) but i know you can get freeview+HD

then you could get your phone and internet from o2 or another company

Re: Need Help

I think what I may do is go with BT vision, I'm not mad keen on splitting services among different suppliers. Thanks for your help
