Cable TV pricing and viewing options

Thursday Oct 29, 2009 | admin | add comments

There are those for whom Cable TV is the be all end all of their existence. I hope I’m not one of them, but I am aware that I have my shows that I simply never want to miss. Having been a fan of EastEnders since this the series started in 1983, I would be hard pressed to claim an indifference to television entertainment. But while I do enjoy the adventures of the Beales and Fowlers, I don’t consider myself a television addict. I’m there for the World Cup and the Olympics and such. I also enjoy a quiet evening at home watching a movie. My work keeps me from viewing many television programs on a regular basis. At present my contract for television includes home phone service and my broadband computer connection, along with 100 channels from Virgin TV. To be honest, this is probably more television than I need or will ever have time to watch. Still, the deal I get from Virgin for all of the services is quite a bargain. I recently visited an interesting consumer assistance website found at digitalchoices.co.uk. Once inside, I was able to investigate the low price television alternative from BT known as BT TV or BT vision. The BT vision package includes all three services I receive from Virgin Media but with television limited to freeview. Special programming such as sports and newer movies can be purchased on a one at a time low cost basis.
