A) It's not too tricky but they will spend a fair while haggling with you.
B) There are lots of Freeview Play and Youview boxes that do this kind of thing. Generally £200+ for a decent one (Humax has always been a decent make).
However, when I started looking at this I ended up sticking with Virgin. You can't really get fast broadband for under £30-£35 a month so the additional tenner a month for the basic TV package but a better box made sense compared to spending £250 every few years for an up-to-date Freeview box.

I want to cancel Virgin Media TV has the £45 a month I pay doesn't currently present me with enough value.
My questions are:
A) How easy it to cancel - I have had it for years and presumably am not on some sort of contractual obligation
B) I do like the set top box and do watch - and like to record - stuff on BBC, plus I enjoy watching in HD. Is there some sort of Netflix-running, freeview HD recording box I can get with a one-off cost that will replace, like for like, most of what I value in Virgin, without paying for all the extra channels I never watch?
