Netflix billing help
Hi, I need help understanding Netflix charges after adding it to my Virgin Media bill. I added Netflix to my Virgin Media billing mid-month, so I expected to pay per month. My first bill shows a higher Netflix amount, and it also looks like a second month has been added even though I’m still in the first Netflix month. Details: Netflix added/started: 20/12/2025 Charge shown for Netflix on bill: £8.39 (I’m guessing this is pro-rata) Another Netflix charge listed: 01/02/2026 – £5.99 Virgin Media Bill date: 09/01/2026 Questions: Why is a Netflix charge dated 01/02/2026 already showing on my bill dated 09/01/2026? If I cancel Netflix before the end of the first Netflix month, will the 01/02/2026 charge be removed/credited? If I cancel before the first month ends, will the initial pro-rata amount (£8.29) be recalculated/credited so I only pay the standard for that month (or less), rather than the higher pro-rata charge? Thanks154Views0likes3CommentsRe: Uhd on HiSense TV
I did find a big difference with Wimbledon on UHD through the V6 vs through the App on the TV. It seemed very washed out and chalky. We do not have a high end TV, it is not OLED or anything. I just can accept the UHD/Dolby Vision/similar signals, this doesn't mean that it will perform well though. I made lots of changes against the recommended stop points that Sony give on the TV and this helped a lot. I am sure somewhere I also changed a UHD signal setting, away from "Auto". Maybe even choosing one that pretty much turned it off on that signal. I think this kept the 4K but the colour went back to looking normal. There might be similar settings on your Hisense, I will take a look later.84Views0likes2CommentsRe: WiFi seems to be getting worse each day.
The Hub is on the loft landing in an open space in the centre of the house. The first pod is on the landing the floor below pretty much directly below the Hub. (With the Pod off the signal is good). The second pod is on the same floor as the first pod but in another room by the door, just by the stairs of the landing. A few meters away from the first pod and below the Hub. (With the Pod off the signal is good) There are dead spots in the house either way, with or without the pods. There is not much option for placements of a third pod, but as it just repeats the signal, then I don't think it is going to help the dead spots anyway. Would there be a reason why it has been getting worse the past couple of weeks.74Views0likes3Comments
