Hello,
I'm not sure this is the correct forum, but i'm desperate to find an alternative to Virgin media/BB and it seems there isn't much open to me.
Basically, I live in an area of london (Hackney) that has really bad TV reception. I have an ariel, but it doesn't work very well and at the moment my reception is so bad that i don't even bother watching tv (even though i'm paying my tv liscence). I wanted to get a BB/TV/phone package through Virgin, but after wasting so much time calling them, they decided to inform me on my 9th phone call to them that they can't install their cable at my flat (even though the website says they can when i put my postcode in and most houses on my street have Virgin cable). Anyway... i don't want a satellite dish, so Sky is not an option and i phoned BT and they said that they can supply TV through the phone line, but someone has now told me that i need an ariel for that too.
Are there any options open to me that doesn't require me to have a new ariel installed on my roof???
Please if any one has any advice... I'm pulling my hair out!
