Bundling your digital TV with broadband and home phone can save you money. Also, by getting your digital TV, broadband and home phone all from the same provider can save time, hassle and paperwork. Paying bills is also much easier because you only pay one company and not three different ones for each individual service.

Here we will look at the different providers and the digital TV bundles and packages they offer

Sky

Sky offers a great way of bundling your home phone, digital TV and broadband package. On the Sky website you can create your own Sky home phone, digital TV and broadband combination with a handy tick box tool. You can choose which Sky digital TV package you want, add in movies or sport and then choose a home phone & broadband package.

Mix it up!

By creating your own mix of Sky digital TV packages and then adding in your chosen broadband option such as free broadband, you can see what is on offer and choose exactly what you want. What's more it could save you money if you take only the digital TV you're interested in - instead of hundreds of digital TV channels you will never watch.

Sky offers the following digital TV packages:

- Variety - Includes: Sky1, G.O.L.D., Comedy Central, Challenge, Dave, Bravo, and Living
- Children's - Includes: Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, Nick Toons, Boomerang and Cartoon Network
- Music - Includes: MTV, VH1, Kiss, Magic and Smash Hits
- Knowledge - Includes: National Geographic, Animal Planet, History and Discovery
- Style and Culture - Includes: Sky Arts, Really, Good Food, Discovery Real Time and TCM
- News and Events - Includes: Sky Sports News, British Eurosport 1 & 2, ESPN Classic and Fox News
- Sports - Includes: Sky Sports 1, 2, 3 and Xtra
- Movies - Includes: Sky Movies Comedy, Premiere, Classics and Modern Greats

Add in HD digital TV:

- Sky HD pack - Includes: Sky1 HD, National Geographic HD, ESPN HD and Sky Sports HD (HD costs extra and the channels you are able to view will depend on your chosen channel package)

If you want to enjoy these home phone, digital TV and broadband bundles from Sky, you need to have a BT landline installed. Sky Broadband uses ADSL broadband to deliver broadband internet over a landline.

Virgin Media

Virgin Media offers some of the best home phone, digital TV and broadband bundles. Virgin Media has the fastest home broadband speeds of up to 100Mbps. The broadband service is delivered on fibre optic cables that can carry huge amounts of data.

Even if you choose 10Mbps fibre optic broadband you could download a music track in less than 10 seconds! You can get various bundles with loads of digital TV channels including Sky1 & Virgin1, movies on-demand, 1000's of digital TV shows on-demand, a free catch up service and on-demand digital TV from BBC iPlayer. Virgin Media's bundle packages also give you the option of adding in a Virgin Media V+ HD box. A Virgin Media V+ HD box will allow you to record an entire series of your favourite TV show, watch 2 digital TV shows while you record another, and if you have a HD ready TV you can view high-definition movies on-demand as well - brilliant!

Digital TV and ultra fast broadband!

Just like Sky, Virgin Media allows you to build your own home phone, digital TV and broadband bundle.
You can choose home phone, digital TV and broadband bundles from Virgin Media that include Sky Sports or Sky Movies and add ultra-fast broadband from Virgin Media with a broadband speed of up to 100Mbps.

All these Virgin Media cable home phone, digital TV and broadband bundles are only available if you live in a Virgin Media cabled area. You can check if you live in a Virgin Media cabled area on the Virgin Media website.
