Don't hold your breath, my exchange was upgraded a year ago and still not installed to box junctions yet.

Not sure about you but my village has phone lines over the telegraph poles, so I'm doubting if it's financially viable in the short term for them to move beyond the exchange.

We have our street cabinets upgraded too, but yeah I'm not getting my hopes up as it says on BT site available by may-june. Where as it did say available by end of April once, then before that it said available by the end of Feb...
Wish they would get there fingers out there ass and sort out what ever is holding things back.

If you have the street cabinets then it won't be long, I'm still waiting for those to be installed, like I say it's been a year.

good luck for yours.

Call BT. I was waiting on infinity for ages and they kept putting the date back online. I was that pissed off by this I phoned them up to see why it had been put back by 3 months, I had it installed within two weeks The lady told me not to rely on the online checker so its worth a try calling them!

Hmm might give them a call again it's been 2 month since my last call, they just told me shouldn't b long... And to keep checking online

Best of it is my mate just lives round the corner and he has had it since Feb!!! Bt told me he was connected to a different cabinet and that I had to just be patient.

Patient yea right when my broadband is not even capable of streaming short you tube clips without buffering every 5 seconds lol.

I personally don't care about Murdoch lining his pockets.

He offers the best Subscription service in the UK. It's not the users or average people who are to blame its the competition or lack of it.
He charges a fair price. I was once self employed and to me a fair price was one that people complained about paying but still paid. in other words it's the maximum you can charge without losing customers, or the number of customers lost is offset by the higher charge.
This is just simple business economics and nothing more. Yes it may not seem fair but then neither is life.

I'm all good to go back my Digitalb subscription I had a few years back, and move away from Sky but there has to be a better offer then there currently is.

And by the way to the person who asked Premiership Football and F1 with English commentary can be found in multiple places throughout Europe at least it was last time I checked

My gripe has bugger all to do with his pricing, I will happily continue pay what I do now, but I wont be forced to use one of his god awful receivers. All I want is to be able to use my legally paid for subscription card in a thirdparty receiver of my choice, if that is no longer going to be possible I will be cancelling my full subscription as soon as it is convenient for me to do so. Bear in mind that i have had sky TV in my house since 1989 so he has lost a life long sky user here.

Thats precisely what i will be doing as soon as BT get their arses into gear and bring fiber into my village as rite now I have exactly two options. 1) sky uk, 2) free view and 2 is out of the question as i dont have a TV Ariel LOL.

and 3) FreeSat.

BTW: a DVB-T aerial can't be a real issue?

Precisely.

Sadly though I believe we (non-$ky-box-users) are actually going against the T&Cs of having a $ky subscription. I read on a.n.other foum that we are obliged to use their hardware, hidden away in the tiny print. Wonder if OScam or CCCAM will ever support the encryption being rolled out on $ky HD channels, or whether the new system is tied into using a "genuine" $sky receiver?

Are they getting rid of SD channels?

Are they getting rid of SD channels?

No one knows for sure.. Its too early to say.. All sorts of scare stories going around at the moment..

Some saying that we will have all channels black by New year.. Some also saying that the SD will be here for the foreseeable future..

Its take your pick on what you want to believe..
