Preparing for trying to get a good new deal

My current contract expired last September. I don't think I got a particularly good deal and was immediately a bit frustrated that I had rather too soon accepted what was being offered. I currently pay about £58 per month for Line rental, total broadband, anytime calls and unlimited BT vision.
I have looked at the prices being offered to new customers and, ignoring the free period, I see Broadband and calls for £16, anytime add on £7, TV essentials £5 and line rental(paid in advance) of £10.75 per month. Does this meaan that I should be able to get these services( I want to downgrade to vision essentials) for £38.75 as an existing user? We do not have infinity so you view is not relevant. Could I even get a better deal?
Finally, my understanding is that the new BT Sport channels will be included as part of the above package - not HD of course.
Thanks

Well, I was offered more or less what new custoners are getting, except for the free period, so I was happy enough with that. Frustratingly the annual line rental paid up front has TODAY increased by £12 to £141 ,but at least they knocked £1 a month off BT essentials for 12 months so it evened up. Having gone through everything, I didn't really feel like  going into ' haggling mode' but I doubt I could have done much better - 12 month contract required.
Of more interest and some disappointment is that I was told that, as I was not in an Infinity area, my Bt box( Black vision +) would not be capable of getting BT Sport via the aerial for 1 August and maybe a while after. I was told they were working on getting BTSport via the aerial and that you would need to be in an area which receives 4 Music and Viva ( I think I am) but, even then, you may need a You View box.
The only option will be to get it via the internet( and play throught the TV if you want to )

    Hi, I have 227 songs in my itunes, when im trying to get them to new iphone 5s-only 66 songs are coming, memory is not full, any helpfull tips pls?Thnx

    I should mention that, for the first problem, I do make sure that my new tracks are stored in the folder where I told iTunes that my music is in. Also, when I say the cataloging of my library stops short of cataloging all my songs, I have tried leaving the computer unattended for days (my computer's sleep mode is disabled). It always stops before cataloging all of my music regardless of whether I am doing something else while iTunes is cataloging, or if I just let iTunes be the only program that's open during the cataloging process.

  • I am trying to get a good copy of my home video on DVD using IDVD.  On editing the video all the viewing screens show the video perfectly in HD.  When I burn the video to DVD all the end results are buzzy with squiggly lines.  Any fix?  Thanks?

    Hi
    There are several layers to this Q
    A. There are no HD in DVD - DVD is as standard only SD-Video what ever tools used to produce it !
    iDVD or DVD-Studio Pro or Roxio Toast™ - will only make SD-Video on DVD
    B. DVD can be better or worse
    • Using "Share to iDVD" is no good way - Better is Share to Media Browser and as Large (NOT HD as result will be worse)
    • Using iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - are not tools to chose if highes quality is of importance - iMovie up to HD6 or FinalCut any version is far better as they send over all lines to iDVD and not only every second one.
    • Using Right encoder quality depending on movie and Manu duration is very important
    • Use of high quality brand of DVD - is important - I use Verbatim DVD-R
    • Type of DVD - DVD-R plays on more DVD-Players (even old ones)
    • Burn speed - I set it down to x4 - resulting in less burn errors - plays on more players
    • I secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up Mac OS hard disk as iDVD and Mac OS needs this and it can not be taked from other hard disks - has to be here.
    • What You feed iDVD does matter
    Video codecs
    Audio file formats
    Photo file formats

  • Computer Crashed- trying to get songs onto new iTunes

    My computer crashed a few weeks ago. I am trying to get the songs I purchased on my "old" computer that are now only on my iPod onto my "new" computer. I somehow was only able to transfer 3 songs that I had bought. I don't know how I could only transfer 3 and not the rest. Please help!

    Were the songs all purchased from a single Store account or from more than one. If the songs were purchased under different accounts then you would need to authorise the computer for each one. Failing that there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists (including purchases) from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows

    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

  • I am trying to get into my new 2nd hand phone but have no details to his account and no contact with the previous owner

    i am trying to get into my second hand but have no details on his account and no contact with the previous owner how do i get in?

    If it has an activation lock set, you can't. Unless the previous owner removes it, the device is useless to you; Apple won't do this unless presented with the original receipt of purchase, and then only for the registered owner(unless they're dead).

  • Verizon Fios is by far the worse for trying to get service

    I have been signed up to get Verizon Fios since the end of July. It is now August 25. The first appointment I get a no call no show from a technician. After calling V and getting some answers the customer service rep said that the problem would be fixed and taken care of by my next appointment on the following Monday. I am fine and cool, not a problem. Monday comes a round and once again no call no show. This time I contacted V the rep said that the problem has not been fixed and I would have to wait and will receive a call when another appointment can be set up and the problem is fixed. The problem was supposedly an "engineering" problem that the apartment building does not have service but all the while I know others in the complex have fios because I have seen it in apartments and technicians installing them. The rep aslo asked if I gave them the right address and I was completely reading it off the complex website and she said that the address did not exist, when you can easly go on V's website and it will find the address when signing up for service. Eventually, a week later, I receive another email of another appointment and confirmed it. I contacted V to follow up and make sure its really going to get installed this time. I am even connected to the local dispatch and she confirms the appointment for Monday and I ask if it is possible to get it Sunday the 25th. It is August 25th and I am not trying to waste my time so I call V just to check the status of my technician and the rep, who by the way was the most rude and unprofessional representative I have ever talked to, said that there is a "fallout" "engineering" problem, tell me something I do not know, and that I would have to wait until Monday to call back and try to fix it. Same story but a different day. So that is three times, each time saying the problem was going to get fixed and not. I have been patient. I expect more from a company like Verizon.

    First let me start off by saying in the past 12 years of owning a cell phone I have had almost every service provider in my area. (tmobile, at&t, spring, Verizon, & u.s cellular)
    I have had them all and must say that by far Verizon is the WORST service and has the WORST customer service ever. I joined and got a family plan (2 lines) to save money.
    I’m at home with windows all around and a skylight. I have no problems at work  with a building with no windows on ground level, but I can’t get reception at home inside or outside.
    For the 1st problem, why do you keep switching? Haven't you found a company with coverage that is good enough for you? No company has a signal EVERYWHERE. Have you been switching constantly because you choose to switch or your company forces you to switch? If the latter, you should complain to your company to go with the best service, not to ruin their business by going with substandard service. Additionally, no provider has the best signal EVERYWHERE. If your company is forcing you to switch, maybe you could suggest that they offer more than one provider for business phones. I know my company has contracts with AT&T, Sprint & Verizon. If you are constantly changing because you choose to change, then I would suggest that you pick the best footprint for you and then stick with it. Afterall, you have had them all, so you should know which would be best for you.
    As to the second part, this sounds more like a location problem rather than a phone problem. NO provider has service in ALL locations.

  • Trying to get iTunes on new laptop with windows 8.1

    I am trying to download iTunes, but when I click 'Download', it just goes to the 'thank you' page, but nothing else happens. No download window, nothing.

    Try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
    If you can't get a working installer via the standard download links, try the following download links instead:
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe

  • Trying to get playlists to new computer

    I was able to transfer all of my music directly from my broken computer's harddrive to my new computer on iTunes, but I cannot get the playlists to work.  Other help articles suggested going "File>Library>Import playlist", but that isn't an option that I see when I'm in iTunes (File>Library leads to "turn on home sharing" or "get album artwork" only)
    I know where the itunes library.itl files are, but I cant get it to work.  I also tried pressing shift while opening iTunes, but when I chose itunes library.itl or itunes library.xml, nothing happens.  Am I supposed to chose something else?
    Any insight would be appreciated!!

    Other help articles suggested going "File>Library>Import playlist", but that isn't an option that I see when I'm in iTunes (File>Library leads to "turn on home sharing" or "get album artwork" only)
    I don't think you're looking in the File menu there (that sounds like you're in the menu that comes off the wee boxy icon thing).
    Click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Once you've brought up the menu bar, you should be able to see the File menu.

  • TRYING TO GET RID OF NEW ADOBE READER - TURNED ALL MY PDF'S TO NEW VERSION

    I made the mistake of downloading and installing the newest 9.X version of Adobe. Problem because it has turned ALL OF MY saved PDF documents into 9.x version. This is bad because it cannot be opened by the recipient unless they too have the latest version. I can't force potential sponsors to have to download to view.
    I deleted the 9.x version and did an ADOBE AIR uninstall. But all my old pdf documents were not converted back to the older version. Now when you click on them there is an error because I've removed the program. Can't open them now.
    ANYBODY KNOW what to do to get my older docs to open and to have it where Firefox and Safari - save to the older version of Adobe; not the newer one that it is still doing? Both browsers save to the 9.X adobe version which can't be opened.
    I want the old Adobe back. Please help!!
    Thanks. :o)
    I al

    I made the mistake of downloading and installing the newest 9.X version of Adobe.
    Do you mean the Reader or the Professional version? I ask because...
    Problem because it has turned ALL OF MY saved PDF documents into 9.x version.
    Completely impossible unless you actually opened each PDF file and re-saved it. If you didn't do that, then the OS is simply showing you that the files are now associated with last installed version or Acrobat. Even if you did install the Professional version, it will not, and cannot alter all of your standing PDF documents without you doing so yourself. They will still be in whatever version format they were last saved in.
    But all my old pdf documents were not converted back to the older version.
    That's because the OS still thinks that's the program to open them in, even though you've removed it. Install the Acrobat 8 Reader and the associations should change back to that version.
    ANYBODY KNOW what to do to get my older docs to open and to have it where Firefox and Safari - save to the older version of Adobe;
    Reinstalling the version 8 Reader will also reinstall the version 8 browser plugins.

  • Trying to get the darn new AE up THEN connected to the internet

    I have been trying different things for 3 hours...I give up. How Apple can possible say they make it easy to configure and connect...I think either they or I live on another planet!
    I have been using a DHCP with my DSL to D-Link Wireless Router to MBP. When I go through the configuration I can see the Printer and Disk I had hooked up...the AMBER light flashes.
    When I bring up the AirPort Utility I seen the AE...NOT with a green light BUT WITH AN AMBER LIGHT.
    I can't keep track of certain messages but somewhere along trying to look at things I got some sort of message saying I didn't have a valid IP Number.
    I HAVE turned the DSL Modem off ... and even rebooted my machine just for the heck of it.
    I am so frustrated...I suppose it is REALLY EASY for an expert...
    Signed, not very happy camper to say the least!

    Don't know if this helps, but this was my experience:
    - put the cables in place and booted up the AE
    - amber light flashing, no wireless
    - hooked up ethernet
    - see the AE, and configured it (I use 192.* internal instead of the default 10.*)
    - reboot - still amber light
    - ah - remember that the cable modem has to reboot too, so switch off AE, reboot cable modem, switch on AE, and ----amber light flashing
    - go into utility, manual configuration - it said that I had no security on the wireless enabled - okayed that
    - reboot AE, and guess what ; green light
    - ethernet connection works ok, wireless net is not recognized by my macbook pro
    - so, changed the default set-up (of 802.11 b/g/n compatibility) to 802.11 a
    - see network - why the latter? I have no idea....
    Hope this helps

  • Trying to get my brand new macbook air to find and connect to time capsule

    after years of being frustrated by varying degrees by my windows platform I finally decided to lash out and treat myself to a dose of mac heaven!!!!!!!! mmmmmm well i love the macbook air its does all its supposed to do except for one thing sooooo far ,
    My time capsule is powered up with green lights which I believe means it has joined my 802.11 network wirelessly with success but when I try to start time machine and it looks for time capsule it tells me ther are no devices to connect to even when they are sitting a few feet apart...........anybody got any bright ideas........I so want to love my mac after spending the best part of 4000 euros on two macbooks and time capsule,
    thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You need to install AirPort Utility to first configure Time Capsule. Since you don't have a DVD drive, you'll need to download it from here (downloads are on the right side):

    If you don't have a setup guide, download that as well.

  • Trying to get in touch via email with customer ser...

    Dear Forum,
    I am currently more than 3 months into an unresolved fault with my service (originally logged 11th Dec 2014). I am trying to establish a means, in writing, to express my disappointment and concerns in this regard to the customer management team (CMT) who are nominally helping to resolve this. Sadly, BT has arranged its customer service provision (sic) in such a way that they can get in touch with me at any point and through a variety of means but there is no routine way for me to get in touch directly with the member of the CMT dealing with the fault. Fighting through switchboards and help desks who have to relay the message internally rather than transferrring me is all very frustrating.
    Does anyone know of a reliable means of getting in touch with the CMT directly via email / web-form? (I do now have the desk number of the lady in the CMT dealing with the fault but for a phonecall to be effective she has to be on shift; the email inbox is more convenient and the situation has really gone beyond where phonecalls are appropriate.)
    I signed up to the forums following a Google search for ‘Libby Barr’, the various comments and threads with her name in the title suggesting that there was some direct route to customer service / resolution support through forums. Entertainingly, I see that there is no board for ‘customer service issues’. 
    Further, the ‘welcome to forums’ / verification email that gets sent out closes with this line
    "If you need to contact us please email <this address>" (Evidently, I cannot quote the addess is a forum post, but you know what it.)
    So I thought that I’d make use of this email address, rather air dirty linen in public, and got
    "Thanks for trying to get in touch with us. Sorry but we don’t monitor this mailbox, so you won’t get a reply to your email."
    Thank you, BT, I did need a laugh.
