It is Worth Scrapping 360 Box for Streaming?

Hello all, my contract is due to end in a few months, my bill will go up by £40 a month which is too much. I am considering whether to go over to Virgin Stream Flex rather than negotiate another contract with 360 box although I must admit I like the 360 Box and have used it for a few years. I only record soaps on it because I use a lot of streaming services such as ITVX. Getting in touch with CS is a nightmare at the best of times so I am wondering if it is possible to change package and go over to Stream online without trying to get in touch with CS? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

    ITV-X is a good example of where streaming services are a poor substitute for recording, given a free choice. Unless you have a chargeable ITV-X premium subscription or are on the top-tier Maxit package, then ITV-X enforces adverts that are not skippable. Recordings allow you to skip past them.

    I concur with Adduxi, that changing to Flex will likely be a contract change and necessitate a new minimum-term.

    This will IMHO be a change of Contract and not a simple swap.  You will need to contact CS as the Mods here don’t deal with this sort of thing.
