No, you end one contract, when you resign it's a brand new contract. Even if it was, sure most people have more than one person in the house. I'll be ringing tomorrow and trying to do it with out having to cancel and resign. Just mention DKY and they start being nice to you

Not true, you need to be on the broadband connected to that bill which is a load of bollox in truth.

 
I'd imagine most people would have both with them so it is true.

Not really comparable to skygo when you have to be in the house where the BB and tv is, skygo can be used anywhere in uk and ireland, UPC - your home, so basically a load of sh*te.

Right well if that's the case I've been misinformed today, by someone usually up to date on tech matters.

Yeah there would be no chance of me watching Sky Sports under  the UPC situation which I can do at the moment using the Dads account.

Well that's according to reviews on the app over the weekend Trapped, Baldy spouting some cryptic sh*te here so we might found out what he is talking about some time.

just reading that now, what's the f**kin point if this app? So they're putting up prices, their app is sh*te and offers nothing new compared to apps out there, and their tv service is v unreliable. Pain in me hole with these

I have this horizon box in my bedroom, it's a full media box too with a 100gb hard disk in it.
Unfortunately since it has a hard disk and it has fans and makes LOTS of noise.

Every night I have to unplug the power from the box every night.

They also have no manual for the box so I have no idea how to use the poxy thing too.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Yeah I get ya now, apologies Baldy

@9F - yes it's a load of shire in fairness, loads of existing apps for watching tv on already, UPC still miles behind sky but a good bit cheaper, depends on what you are after, seems that cheap and a good service is not possible!
