I binned virgin media tv after 14 years.The cost was going up and up,£79 is too much so i binned the tv and now I have one virgin box freeveiw it was cheaper keeping one box for £34.99.Now i have xl phone and 30MG internet.Does any one know any way I can watch discovery channels and history channels? That's the only ones I watch and I dont mind paying a small cost like £5 month for a good service

- Thread starter billybob2
- Start date
BT Infinity has a Discovery Channel option? £5 is optimistic lol
That said, my deal includes Discovery and is half what you were paying.

we have been slowly cord cutting as well, when the kids are a little older i will completely disconnect the tivos as the price is becoming more of a joke daily.
Heres what ive done so far
set up a mac mini, 8tb nas drive - Set up plex media centre on the device.
I then have a few android devices attatched to the tvs, and a couple of chromecasts.
I also have NOW TV boxes (plex will install to these)
I now sub to netflix and now tv, i also have the useless amazon on demand which dosent seem to work on any device i own atm.
As things are now i pay about £90 per month for 150mb and three tivos - I was paying £150 pm with movies sports, but a quick switch to now tv and xbmc im paying about £60 less per month in total.
If your only really after discovery channel and some sky line up check out the now tv entertainment pass - i think that works out about £5 per month but you can get better deals on the interwebs if you look about,.

There is also 3rd party sellers of Netflix so you could cut your bill more, do a quick google search for one. It's not strictly legal so I won't divulge further as unsure if the forums t+cs allow discussion. But just throwing it out there as an option
