    I've been with Virgin Media since they took over from Telewest.I'm on a contract until October and pretty comfortable on what I pay including this months interest.
    My question is apart from Sky and Virgin does any other company have Sky Sports News on there listings ?.
    It might give me a bit of leverage when my contract ends.SSN is a must for any further contract with anybody.

    It was a sad day when they took SSN off freeview.

    Just be aware that NOW TV is actually owned by Sky and is streamed through the internet. I think they usually provide a set top box.

    Try cancelling though… it’s like trying to speak directly to Queen Elizabeth II.

    How about just stopping your Direct Debit? I bet in no time they'll cancel you!

    I don't think you need a Sky box for Now TV though. I've had the odd day pass in the past, and either watched through the app on my fire stick or PlayStation.
