Tom 13898 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 same here, watched the Liverpool match yesterday and was perfectly happy with the coverage, couple of people seemed to be lacking practice but they'll get better, hopefully Halsey will start calling some decisions wrong. Too many ex Liverpool players on but otherwise î was very happy with it. I mainly got it for the foreign football so the domestic games are a bonus. I enjoyed the UFC too.

Tooj 17 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Quite impressed with BT Sport so far. Dortmund on in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 26738 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 it's free online if you've got BB/Infinity, to watch it through the tv you need BTVision/BTTV and one of their boxes which is an extra £7 a month, not that it's a lot i just wouldn't use it tbh if the online app stabilises after it's initial rollout I don't think that's the case, you can get it for free through Sky if you have BB broadband afaik.

Tom 13898 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 BT Sport has its own Bundesliga highlights show - 6 o'clock on a Monday. Pretty much the same level of football coverage as ITV but it starts at a more convenient time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 14827 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 So...am off to visit the parents at the weekend....they've got BT broadband but only have a freeview tv. I take it if I can get their bt email address, password and account number I'll be able to plumb in BT sport on to my laptop?.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 You should be able to try it now, don't need to wait till you're there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26738 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Can't you get it free on your TV using their details? I'm not sure if they check whether your Sky address is genuine, maybe worth a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEADMAN 0 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 bt wont be given it free they will get you buy the subscriptions instead to make up for it. its like contract phones they may give you the phone free but they will get the money back from it from the contract itself.

Kevin Carr's Gloves 3243 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I saw the Liverpool game on our telly through BT sport I have Virgin XL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 35321 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 That's some indictment of Sky, that a former employee uses Virgin. Unfortunately we've had it confirmed that we'll never get it on our estate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17993 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Wonder what that's about? I really rate Virgin and want to stick with cable, if possible. But in Tynemouth its coverage is seemingly random. I want to move this year and stay in Tynemouth, but will probably lose the benefit of cable as a result. Can't understand why they won't build cable into new builds either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4003 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 Anyone changed to fibre optic lately? Talk talk offering £5 a month plus line rental and unlimited downloads. Is that good? Do they just flick a switch at the exchange or do you need new phone lines etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26738 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I had standard broadband with Talk Talk and their customer service is horrendous. Though £5 a month is decent but you may be able to get a good deal elsewhere through quidco. Yeah they'll have to do and installation in your house but it doesn't take long.

Gemmill 35321 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) I found TalkTalk to be quite bad for customer service too. I fully expect you to be signed up to them by the end of the day though. Edited December 5, 2015 by Gemmill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 27388 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Talk talk were horrendous when we had them. But don't let me put anyone off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4003 Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 they have to amend things at the cabinet/green box at your street definitely (not the exchange) our fibre is FTTC not FTTP and possibly change the master socket plate in your hall if you haven't had fibre before, drop off a new modem/router as well to handle the faster speeds pending what you have currently. but unlike Broadband because it's to the cabinet and not the exchange you'll get a minimum of 16mbs download no matter how shit your line quality was or how far from the exhange you are. i went from a barely stable 6mb line to getting the full 80mbs download 20mb upload but aye talktalk are supposed to be pretty piss poor for everything especially service Cheers Ant. I thought I might need it with this Kodi thing (and a household with 5 people connected to the wifi), however so far everything's running smoothly. That and the fact I don't seem to be paying any line rental with Sky??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 35321 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 70 a month for phone and broadband?! I think I pay 27 for 40meg and the phone with plusnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4003 Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 That doesn't seem right unless you got some sort of deal where they're just paying it for you, or it's been bundled into the cost. You have to have the line no matter who you're with mine is £70 a month with line rental and the Calls and BTTV shite i never use We used to have sky then got shot but pay £10 a month to keep the box to record etc. Plus £5 to cover broadband / line. We then have to pay for certain calls we make usually around £10 a month. So all in between £15 a month plus calls. So switching to fibres gonna be £24 a month plus calls.

Christmas Tree 4003 Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 Didn't see those other posts re customer service. My only question is why are you contacting them???? I've never had to contact Sky other than to cancel. If the product works well, why is customer service an issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had to contact Sky other than to cancel. If the product works well, why is customer service an issue? Maybe we just wanted a chat? Maybe Gemmill wanted to hear a human voice? Maybe he was hoping a sexy husky voiced female would answer? That or their product was shit and their customer service was worthy of the shit product? What option do YOU think it was, CT?

Christmas Tree 4003 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 So the sky fuckers have brought my free line rental deal to an end Time for a change. Just revisited the talk talk customer service comments above. Is the problem that it keeps going off or you don't get what you are promised.

Gemmill 35321 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I am at war with BT Openreach at the minute. They are a fucking disgrace, unanswerable to anyone, and my provider has been unable to sort my Internet out because every time they try to get Openreach to do the work required at the exchange, they just get told to ring back in 48 hours. Rinse and repeat 48 hours later. I was supposed to have everything on on 25th Jan. I still don't have broadband, having finally got a landline last week (which I don't use and only need for broadband). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
