Well lots of calls recently about Catch up TV not working. TV says sign in to your BBC iPlayer account.

BBC have started making everyone that uses it - Create an account and sign in on all there devices. Also the other channels ITV CH4 are following suit. lots of puzzled technophobes out there now.

Go to BBC iPlayer / ITV / CH4 on your laptop / iPad / Smart phone - Create an account - pair up your account to your TV with the pairing code. Simple !
"But I just wanted to watch TV"

Here Im going to list companies with extortionate get out clauses. I.E. > £100
Most well know companies typically have a £55 get out fee.

The new BT hub 7 with the amazing wifi - NOT

Incapable of passing through a wall. Having set up 3 of these in a week, and having customers complaining of not getting the wifi arroung the house. Ive come to the conclution that this version could not penetrate a paper bag!

My broadband is now running fast like it used to. Since upgrading the EE broadband package it is working much better - back to how it used to be. 

    Well i've given Im fed up with the whirling buffering thingy its really spoiling the flow of Breaking bad on Net-flicks, so I've signed up for EE faster up to 38Mbps. EE are guaranteeing me a minimum connection speed of 2.5Mbps – GEE THANKS – and say my line can handle 4 – 20Mbps. Considering it ran very happily at 10.5Mbps for 3 years when EE was EE and TV was TV where do they get 2.5 and 4 from ?
    What it boils down to this - Pay an extra £3/month to watch what I want to watch when I want to watch,  with no adverts and hopefully no whirling buffering thingy.

 My broadband is on a go slow slow since BT took over EE. It was a respectable 10.5 Mbs for 3 years but its now for no reason at all gone down to 7.5 Mbs. Im not the only one to noticing a slow down with EE. Being a phone / broadband engineer I've checked my wiring and other peoples to make sure its ok. I rang EE who said “its within my expected range” and “ no they have not slowed it down” .
Coincidence ? Or have I been "tapered" If your kids are hamering your B/B the service provider will sometime turn down the tap on your hosepipe sighting the "fair use" policy.
Its most likely a ploy to get us to sign up for more expensive fibre optic broadband.

   The perfect world answer is no . You must contact your service provider who will arrange for a BT Openreach engineer to do the work at their outrageous hourly rate.

   BUT in reality most service providers will tell you to get an electrician to do the work - but BT count this as trespass and it is illegal. However you can't contact BT Openreach directly as they wont talk to end users so back to your service provider you go. Who will tell you to contact BT Openreach ....etcetera etcetera etcetera .

     BT do not keep a record of where your main socket is and would never visit your property unless you ask them to , so , if an electrician where to do the work for you , as long as he didn't mess it up and did it to the same quality standard as BT they would never know the difference and if any one asked which they wouldn't, " It was like that when I moved in guv ". The job is almost as easy as putting in an extra socket and requires no specific mandatory qualification unlike a gas fitter would legally be required to be Corgi registered to work on gas.

    Is BT trespassing on your wiring when BT remove your face plate / extension wiring to test ?
