Depends what speed of broadband you want, which TV tier you want including any additional add-ons, and what what phone package you want.

Hi @Rabski 

The least expensive TV, phone and broadband package for new customers at the moment is the Big bundle which is £29.99 a month on a minimum 18 month contract. BT Sport is an additional £18 a month

BT Sport is only £10 on VM's STREAM service and its a 30 day notice period not locked in for say 18 months.

VM Stream is free for Freeview (it actually has more than standard Freeview).

You just need BB M125 and then opt for a Stream box. It doesn't need coaxial cable as can work off ethernet cable or WiFi. Stream doesn't have the +1 channels and a few of the others but has, in my opinion, the ones that are important. Stream doesn't record (currently) so you have to use the catch up player apps to watch anything after broadcast. It does have apps for iPlayer, ITV X (including Britbox), Channel 4, My5, UKTV, Disney, Prime, Netflix, BBC Sounds. Some of these are additional subscription (Prime, Disney, Netflix). You also get 10% discount of any extra subscription taken per month.

Stream also allows access to the VM TV Go app so you can view channels on your mobile or tablet device via Wifi or cellular.

Just another option if you dont fancy a locked in TV contract and ability to move your smaller Stream box around the place from living room to bedroom for example.
