    Do they sometimes push buttons and deliberately give you stuff you haven't asked for, and are not paying for?

    Genuine story

    Our Wembley play-off weekend they tried to charge me for a pay-per-view porn film on the Sunday night. Trouble was I was in Soho getting **** faced.</p>

    I complained and they didn't charge. </p>

    Irony all over the place there.</p>

    RE: Genuine story

    I signed up for a certain package and agreed the contract. Everything has been ok and suddenly I find that they are beaming everything at me. Even the MUTV and fkin Chelsea *****, none of which i want. I know that sometimes they do special promotions but I haven't seen owt.</p>

    My view is, why should I pay premium phone calls to ring them up and tell them?I entered into a contract with them, so if they are choosing to beam everything at me is that my fault?</p>

    RE: Genuine story

    No I haven't. But how could they charge me over and above the contract price even if they do? I don't order MUTV, it's just there when you put the channel on.

    They can't. If you've a copy of what you've signed up for then you're sorted.

    No - I have a six mix and Sports package. First everything was ok, then they started giving me kids tvfor nowt, so I rang them and they withdrew it. Over the last few days I am now getting everything (except the ones you have to buy) including the movie channels AND MUTV and Chelsea TV (seestars)

    There are occasional freeviews - usually 1 a year on the movie channels.

    This weekend is a freeview on NASN - though that's nowt to do with Sky

    What you ought to do is ask for a refund, with compensation for emotional trauma. The b**tards.
